RS 4.0 values

Plus 20% vat?

Also left hooker of which there are many more.

Makes RHD look punchy. Still think 350 is comfortably achievable. If I had that blue car I'd be asking more. Surprised the 996 RS hasn't sold.

[DT398]

They have two 996RS now. The white/blue one looks better value at £120k.

I hadn't realised quite how non-RS these cars had become. Half of this stuff shouldn't be on an ordinary Porsche, let alone an RS! I thought RS = Less Is More.

Time of year?

Half of the cars listed in that section are either sold-but-still-listed, wanted ads, dressed up Carreras, or 991s listed in the wrong section, so not nearly as many actual cars for sale as it appears at first glance.

I I wouldn't have painted the carbon fibre wing but that's just me. .

Don't think you get the choice... The 4.0's have painted spoilers because its lighter than the clear lacquer on the 3.8's.. apparently.

LHD.

LHD.

As expected in New York.

I try my level best not to get into the values debate but unfortunately here would like some opinions. For a LHD car, is there any view on the difference in value between say a 1k or 10k mile car? or 2k km vs 20k km if one prefers to be consistent. Thanks

One is a lot more attractive to a museum/ art collection.

In continental Europe, buyers tend to be less sensitive about mileage.

If you're looking for one then keep an eye on mobile.de and porsche.de used cars.

Every time I think about taking advantage of this market I go and drive it. Just experiencing that engine, even toodling along waiting for it to warm through I realise it's irreplaceable. It is SO special.

OPC Leicester have put a LHD one up for 315k.

Did they not get the memo about RHD? A £200k LHD car does not become a £300k car when it's UK registered. Or, if it does then i have a new job.

Putting to one side the discount, how do you propose getting around the VAT legitimately?
