The RPM one is very expensive - Mine is still forsale at £6k less!! Time of year not helping though.

What spec is yours? I sold my GR manual with arm chairs for high 30s to a dealer a month or so back, he's sold it already, was asking what I paid for it from OPC back in March.

I was looking at the wrong links.

I think the OPC one is priced ok to be honest. Definitely wouldn't call it expensive.

I think yours is just very cheap in comparison if not a bargain, and if I was in the market for one I'd buy yours in a heartbeat!

Does anybody run Michelin Cup2 on their R?

Still having a tyre conundrum...

I thought so. Just a shame for such a good spec manual car that I might have to accept a trade offer.

As above, I would sit tight. It will sell at that, its just a tricky time of year, and mileage might be putting a few off. I would snap it up, but I'm not in the market just yet.

[V800MJH]

I'd sit tight yeah.

Wrong time of the year to be selling a sports car in my opinion.

Hold onto it for 4 months and then re list it, at a higher price

Not sure why the mileage would put anyone off, it's only 30K!

[Masher964]

Then there is the point of view that states that some cars hate not being used and having oil flowing through them and the rubber bits bounced once in a while. Inevitably this means putting miles on a car.

Try as you might you will never kill of the willingness of people to pay a premium for lower mileage cars. Most modern cars these days can sit and do nothing and be fine when they run again. The old assumption that stuff dries up or goes off in the engine is outdated now. Ive had low mileage cars with surprising faults like a steering rack on a 10k car we did this year for an example but equally I've had a couple of sub 10k cars that had sat off road for years at a time and they were mechanically perfect.

Its a good time to be buying a Cayman R for sure. Nicks is probably the best priced one on the market currently and he's had a couple of really strong trade offers which would indicate the specialists still have confidence in them.
