The engine issue is the stinker in this edition of the GT3.
Why?It has never been an issue since being fixed......if it had been they wouldn t have gone up to c £170k and currently still be selling over list.
I really hope they are all ok now as id love one in the future but I continue to lurk.

This is spot on. I think 110k is sensible bid. I can't see any dealers paying top dollar at this time of year when they could be holding it for a few months.
I think the OP did fine and if he's happy then good for him. He has a relationship with a dealer, they bid a fair price in his mind. Maybe when he's back in the Porsche market they will look on him favourably - what goes around comes around.
Yes this was part of my thinking. Have bought a few cars form this dealer now and will be back to them very soon I hope.I think the OP did fine and if he's happy then good for him.

Sure maybeI could have got 120k from someone else, but as you say - what goes around.

Unbelievable!!! You've been ripped off by this dealer and you want to go back and buy more cars?
I don’t see it as being ripped off. I got back what I paid for the car and had a cost free run in a fantastic car. In my business, I always try to leave something for the next man and this has always worked for me. I am happy with what I got (as a package)and now someone else will get to enjoy the car.DonGT3 said:

That's a great attitude to have and if you had sold it to a private owner that would make sense but instead you sold it to a vulture dealer. Everyone has to make a living but ripping people off isn't right.
How much do you think the dealer should make on this car?As has been explained already, allowing for some negotiation room plus costs, a likely 5-10% profit margin doesn't appear excessive.

Sensible attitude to life - and business.AndrewD said:
Sold mine a couple of months ago near to 142k asking price (clubsport with ceramics but not lift, 3000 miles)
Bloody brilliant , especially after all the stick you got on the GT3 price thread - you were very restrained - I would have gone straight on there and told all those posters who were so rude where to go - you are a better man than me RSVP911 said:
