I was about to press the button on a GTS until I drove the R, pissed off my OPC mind. Had nothing to do with cost either.
If I wanted a daily car to commute a 100mile round trip in comfort then I'd consider the GTS
I ordered a GTS last Autumn, spec was nearly £74k with PTS etc.I was about to press the button on a GTS until I drove the R, pissed off my OPC mind. Had nothing to do with cost either.

Then I had my PEC day and my OPC let me have one for a day. Lovely, lovely car but it just left me feeling a bit non-plussed. Cancelled the order and bought an R, love it!

Cayman r showing on ph for 38k with 40 k miles. Has pse, buckets, manual, spider wheels. Who cares about the higher mileage has a great engine, enjoy an R and put 12 thousand pounds in your pocket?
I'd assume anyone spending £50k on an R isn't thinking too much about enjoying it as a car but as an investment.....

Good cars sell at a good price and that is neither !
The CR at park lane OPC is a nicer car one owner with only 15k miles and 2 years warranty at £45k but even that has not shifted (needs chrono and short shift which I am sure you would be able to deal on)unless a CR/Spyder is below circa 15k miles and has a good spec,1 or 2 owners and some opc warranty is it worth around £45k most cars I see advertised are worth £40kish and a lot less if over 30k miles.
I think it's a great car, just about £7k overprice for a private sale, in my opinion....The CR at park lane OPC is a nicer car one owner with only 15k miles and 2 years warranty at £45k but even that has not shifted (needs chrono and short shift which I am sure you would be able to deal on)unless a CR/Spyder is below circa 15k miles and has a good spec,1 or 2 owners and some opc warranty is it worth around £45k most cars I see advertised are worth £40kish and a lot less if over 30k miles.

At least any prospective buyer knows exactly what margin they have in the car.
I think this kind of honest post is excellent though as it gives a true indication of what cars are selling for as opposed to what people are asking for them.
Not really, it tells you what a dealer offers and then tries to make on it.......I think this kind of honest post is excellent though as it gives a true indication of what cars are selling for as opposed to what people are asking for them.

Well it definitely tells you how much this particular one sold for, if you have prices other cars have sold at feel free to add them?
A car sold to the trade, does not tell you what cars are selling for, just the the seller accepted a stupidly low low ball offer from a dealer.The dealer then sold it for circa £42k, which is what they are selling for from non OPC dealers.

It's not advertised anywhere yet, I've been getting trade offers from dealers. I'm not that keen on a private sale but would like a bit more for it than they're offering. A decent offer in the late 30s would buy it, it's a good one, 13 ignitions in RR1, prepared for sale by an OPC 6 months ago.
Put an advert on PH..........Guards Red manual car should fly out the door even at £39,999...............
