Nope! Tell us which OPC and price - there are only 10 available nationwide so shouldn't be too hard to work out!

I'd say the price is perhaps slightly high - the one that has just gone on at Cardiff is almost identical spec but is a year newer and 600 less miles, and is less than £1000 more. If white is not for you, maybe point that car out in your negotiation. Brooklands ones do seem just slightly higher priced than other OPC's - the white one there is older and slightly smaller spec than the Cardiff one and is the same price. If it's the spec you want though just go for it, they're fantastic cars and are in fairly short supply - they are also holding their value incredibly well.

I'd be surprised if the list price of that car when it was new was much more than the price being asked for it now.

Around £70k list I think

Thanks wellzee - think there needs to be some movement in there then. Saw the 991 911 GTS they have too, that's a stunning car!

As a guide I bought a 15 month old GTS from an OPC and got 15% off list

Told by my OPC that the CGTS sells for close to list? If they can find one. I've had an unsolicited approach from an OPC by phone, offering £58K (which would be 10k shy of list, though I paid 66K) obviously I wasn't interested.

To me my CGTS is the perfect Porsche car. There will never be another six n/a CGTS and I feel very privileged to own one.

Most of the 2015/16 cars at OPCs are quite close to list.

I am very glad I bought one of the last new ones in June - not because they seem to be depreciating very little, but because it's a brilliant car.

I agree completely! Such a great car and a real shame we'll never see the likes of it again. Values seem to be holding well and I think there will be demand for them in the short term at £50k-£60k. Where they go in 3+ years will be interesting to watch...

mines got 20k miles on now from a dozen eurotrips....how much do you think value has suffered as a result of milage? Very well maintained mind...

That's the selling price. Buying price probably £10k less than that

Same here with our BGTS - it might be the tiniest smidgeon less sharp than the Cayman - but have the advantage of that amazing surround sound engine and exhaust roof down!

BGTS is every bit as good as the CGTS imho.

Paid pretty much list for my BGTS 2 months ago, and so glad i did. Just got back from a highland tour with friends, did the NC500 and some other routes also. Sunshine for 3 days top off, great noise, most of the time drowned out by V8 / V12's with me lol. But what a car it was absolutely fantastic. Manual and X73 Suspension...what a fkin car!!!!

Car's just having some warranty bits done now at the dealer, been give a 718 S............I want my GTS back......
