Poverty spec, no carbon window triangles or transmission tunnel in leather. https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/imgs/9.gif

Think mines corona spec as no leather dash or painted key or illuminated entry sills

Miles up but great value top spec nevertheless.

Maybe our resident WM will now take the plunge after trying to talk prices down for 2 years and buy it lol.

[av185]

[av185]

Ah bugger, I tripped over 8k miles yesterday, mines 2 1/2 years old. Should I just scrap it?

Jesus Christ, miles up.
That's the big problem with buying a Porsche and bypassing the fooken flippers.

That car is a bargain and first I've seen with that spec under list, especially as the new Turbo S is going to be 160k before options, expect the new GT3 to be 125-30k before options.

Fantastic spec GT3 which would have cost the owner circa £142K new including the £2k tax..Someone should snap it up as £10k under list makes it an absolute bargain.

Great spec car and despite mileage looks cheap. Not sure we’re going to see that rally in GT cars prices when the sun comes out !

is the mileage really that high considering ?
What’s the going rate mile wise pa for a 991 gt car ? Say 3k per year ?.. worlds fking mad.

I’ve bought mine to use and enjoy not look at the mileage every time I use it worrying about losing an extra few quid, but I don’t have leather dash so my cars worthless anyhow

4500 miles and going up like the temperature in the lovely north east

mileage is only a factor on price and no cars are worthless.

Atm if you add 1k miles the cars worth £1k less, its quite simple maths :-)

There’s a red manual at Romans too at £129950 with ceramics, but does have a huge 5k miles on the clock

If anything it proves that manual cars are not particularly a premium over pdk.

Edit to say car is actually Lava Orange.

Last part not correct, my old 991.2 GT3 was a "17" plate first registered on 29-08-2017.

it would be a £133k ish car but minus £6k for miles and its hard as nails to move cars with painted interior.

So at £130k it is a tad expensive, but manuals with spec are rare as hens teeth atm.

OPC don't have a nice spec PCCB car atm.
the only nice car for sale was TH and that sold pretty fast.

you can buy cars £10k below list now with 15k miles.

Those painted bits of red can’t be sorted relatively cheaply if it’s not to taste? Seems harsh to turn a good spec car down because of that.

Totally agree and as you say that interior trim is easily sorted.
My car came with “poverty” spec brushed aluminium, I`ve managed to source a carbon fibre interior and it will be fitted to my car in place of the Ali..

yes and no

the dash bits and centre console can be done, just buy the parts.

the door card bits cannot for some reason or not as easy as one would hope.

For my money, i would search for a lower miles car personally!

I do like the Lava car , but not the interior or gearbox.
