Yeah, he really does. Just like he knows whether mine's sold or not.
Good luck with it. I think it's just a matter of time.

Now that my GT4 is delayed until February (ish!), and my Defender is December/January, all I have to drive is a 122K mile BMW 520D touring I use for the dog. It's really hard to resist buying something for the short term.

Has been for sale at Wilmslow for quite a few weeks now; still there. Can't imagine it shifting at £103k! Opportunists!
Why wouldn't it sell.... £105k or thereabouts is the market price atm....not expensive having regard to the cars obvious abilities and lack of any serious rival at this price. Whether this will go up or down is anyones guess but just remember when the 991 GT3s hit £150k punters wrongly thought this was their limit only to be disproved....again.

What do you keep calling them for? I can't imagine they're keen to chat considering what you've made them out to be on here.
Why not? Business relationships are built on long term trust and communication; we have much to discuss. On the subject of ethics, I made it very clear to them what I felt about immediately reselling customer cars for huge premiums and they understood my view. Regardless of your situation and the reasoning behind it, it has still turned into a shrewd purchase, providing of course it has now sold...genuinely interested, has it now sold as you are suggesting it has?

Based on what? What evidence do we yet have of any GT4 being sold for circa that amount, or any amount at all? I'm not suggesting that they won't be worth that, but it does seem incredibly steep when final build numbers have not yet been announced and we 'could' still see double the through-put of cars to the UK.

Why not open a separate 'argument' thread ? This thread was actually relatively unspoiled by petty arguments by ph standards .

Very true, was merely clarifying that the car had been up for sale a while now, as someone thought it was new. Here's a picture that has no doubt been posted already, but does look stunning...even with a few lighting effects!

Is anyone other than Suncoast or OPC doing the bonnet / roof / spoiler stickers?
Wouldn't mind fitting a set myself.

As this seems the definitive GT4 thread I'll post this video with some GT4 content here.

https://youtu.be/0mZBouwiYGU - 2015 Best drivers car.

Personally I'd have the GT4 out of all of these, I was at the 'ring in June and there were a couple there, very impressive cars. Hope you all enjoy them!

I've not seen a GT4 in that shade but I have seen a GTS. Good in the showroom but I thought washed out in daylight.

Seriously, this again? You claimed it sold last time, then changed your position, and now you are claiming it did sell again? I suspect you have no proof, and with a GT4 on the way, are doing what some others are and trying your best to inflate price expectations. If someone put one up for sale at £200k, then pulled the listing a week later, would you then believe that it sold? I suspect so! Fair enough, if they do sell for that amount, great for the owners, but of the 3 cars that have so far been put up for sale, I've seen nothing that suggests they sold for anywhere near that amount, or sold at all. I can't however counter it, but I've not been claiming they've sold for much less in the same way as you (and others) have claimed they have sold for a lot.

Back to GT4 colours...would be great to see some more UK cars, somehow they appear more accurate in the UK gloom!

Not wanting to extend this too much...but in my experience, Porsche offer minimal discounts on their used cars. I've bought quite a few and it always surprises me just how unyielding they are. I certainly can't see it happening on a car that's new to their stock.

Colours...I'm a definite White.

Ah, but these are likely to be SOR cars, so on the basis that a fixed price margin for the dealer has been agreed regardless, surely they will have a wider price range to work with, stipulated by the owner? Maybe 960Spyder can confirm? If an offer on your £103k was made at £90k, does the OPC have instruction to immediately decline, or would they contact you for approval?

Just checking in with those who have PTS confirmed.

Anyone had theirs delivered as yet with PTS?

Mine would be a 2nd week of November build without it. Just had confirmation that mine is now a 10th Jan. Not worked out too bad, I'll hold off taking delivery for a few weeks so it's a 16 plate.

It is a little amusing to see you talking with such authority on the mater
