I don't know how easy it is to sell used PCCB discs ... I still have the Carboteq checked set from my owned from new GT4 ... 50% life left and £4000 asked and no takers on Ebay ..

There is a set of discounted ST's on Racing Cars Direct ??? They are from a PCCB 991.2 GT3RS car ....

£4k for all 4? That's a bargain but I don't think many people are suddenly in the situation where they need to replace all 4.

What does happen is someone chips one disc or has to replace a pair - I bet if you listed them individually at £2k each you'd probably have some success, might just take a while.

It'll be interesting to see that now the chipped rotors have been spotted what this will make

they don't see it as an issue

I'm sure "they" don't

It's not they, it's the current owner who doesn't want it to be an issue to him or her.

I wonder what an independent inspection would conclude ?

Irrespective it feels a significant item not to disclose ??

Yep they as the seller, thats what I meant.
I agree - not disclosing it doesn't seem sportsmanlike at all.

A good idea ... I'll give that a try ... thanks !

With the exchange rate being just over NZ$2 per £1, then this could be a heck of a deal to buy and import

Plus the seller has done the two big jobs everyone dreads on these...

£54,251 plus fees

[ChrisW.]

I think that's quite a high price ... a £75k car new ?

It was £45k ish when I looked ... either way it had a nice history etc.

Is there something wrong with that?

It's a minor point, but if the fan painting is anything to go by, the rotor cap will have been cracked during its installation and the brake fluid reservoir cap cross-threaded ...

This is weird. I was watching this 911 Dakar auction on CollectingCars.com and it seemed to sell for £176,250:


I just got Collecting Cars weekly summary post on my Facebook feed and saw this:


(same car - I have checked the plate on the auction listing).

[mirsgarage]

Maybe a typo with a £2 instead of a £1?

Rest of the digits sort of track if you include fees.

[thegreenhell]

Agree, it has to be a typo. That price would make it by far the most expensive one in the country, and about 80k more than other similar ones are listed for at dealers.

That was what caught my eye in their FB post. I guess the type-o has done its work

Absolutely nothing if you prefer to pay ~£8k for ~£3k worth of 8 year (major) service and extended warranty.

The dealer is on the hook for any problems that may arise, prison, provides px services and finance services as well.
