Anyone have ideas on why this car has been for sale for over two years? AT price meter suggests it's a good price?

Black/black in summer is hotter than the centre of the Sun!

Has been for sale since March 2022, there have been a few springs and summers in-between...

It's not on there website anymore, could be one of those adverts trying to generate phone calls.

If it has been up for 2yrs it's obviously not a selling price for the colour/spec.

That looks like £10k too expensive to me. I'd buy from an OPC if I wanted top notch condition

Surely you would think the dealer would discount it to have it sold, very strange.

(It's the sports design kit, so it's OEM duck tail).

It's actually the aero kit cup but they have removed the second wing from the rear and presumably filled and painted it to leave the plain duck tail.

You can tell as the aero kit cup front bumper differs from the very similar Sports design one, it has two small holes on the splitter that are not present on the sports design.

Good spot, didn't know you could do that to the Aerokit!

Numpty question (sorry), but how do you know it's been on sale for 2 years?

It's a good question.

In the URL the date is included, in this case 20220325, being 25th March 2022.

It doesn't catch car adverts which have expired and been relisted though.

Ah ok, thanks...

I am thinking of getting a 991 cabriolet, so am lurking in the Porsche section. I know little about them.

My low miles C4s was 30k at 7 years old in 2011, now a 7 year old C4s is 60-70k!

The used prices have gone up a lot more than the new
It is quite funny when you look back at used prices and compare to today. I bought a 30 month old 987 in 2008 for £20'500 and now that would barely buy you a 10 year old one! Mad

Aye but, allowing for inflation that is around £31k today which will actually still buy you a 5 year old one. So not that mad given recent market.
