91RS now changing hands for 180-190k

Market reacting quicker than previously forecast.

Cars with mileage will be substantially lower than this.

Too many cars - the highest number of RSs ever.

This was a £191k example when it was 1 owner & 80 miles usage and most importantly a Pre Brexit market price - fast forward 3 weeks since Brexit fallout and it's now had another owner added to the V5 plus the mileage has over doubled apparently making it a far more expensive buy than ever before

This car world has now gone completely mad but I suppose the proof is in the pudding and whilst it was eaten up at £191k will it be eaten at over £46k more! eek

I'm not doubting you, but apart from the UV@£191 what else has sold in that price range for you to make that claim?

A LO car, POA, at OPC Bristol today. What are the rules - the cars have to be over a year old to be advertised by an OPC?

I was told by my OPC once production had stopped for a particular model, it can then be openly advertised and sold at market price.

Wouldn't have thought there are any UK cars over 12mths old yet. Same as GT4s of which there are now 3 just appeared on the OPC website.

The 'stopped production' rule appears to be the most plausible although bizarrely there have been up to 2 differing Spyders almost since delivery on the OPC site (ok so not strictly a GT car though).

Had another look at the Euro RS trend and prices still dropping - https://www.autoscout24.com/classified-detail/deta...

209K Euro's is still some way over what roughly is a 160k - 170K Euro car list however (question) if these things keep dropping is there every chance the 997.2 car could command a higher value?

For a car of this quality and level there must surely be a bottom (reaches for crystal ball)

If the pound would go back to 1.30 that 209 euro car would be £160k so about £40k plus saving.

As I reach for my crystal ball Mr Cayman-black reaches for another large Scotch! LOL smile

Wishful Euro fluctuations aside that's still a fair lick above (Euro) list even with some options.

I am missing something crucial here - when was a 991 RS a 160-170k list car. List price was c. 182k and specced cars were nudging 200k (full spec was actually >200k).

Ok confused.com

UK list was circa £130K + options £150K +/ -
Euro price, well dreaded CCY fluctuations don't help but £130K to Euro (allowing for previously better rates) would be circa 160K Euros (actually 151,950 Euros today). Assuming the pricing was just a straight ccy conversion if ordered in Europe. I could be wrong smile

List price: 181,690 - back of the envelope the above car would have been in excess of 195k list

Porsche in the UK have been relatively cheap for a while - as a comp a Turbo S costs the same as a Ferrari 488 list in Germany, while in the UK there is a significant gap from memory

you can download the price list here (and I assume you can still configure a car on the configurator): http://www.porsche.com/germany/models/911/911-gt3-...
