I agree. I don’t mind paying a bit more for less miles. The cars I’m tracking in private sales are all priced very much on the high side- some clearly at dealer retail level. One nice looking 1 owner 2012 991S with 29k looks great but the owner has it up at close to £58k.
Still looking for ideally a 991.2 cab, sub 20k miles. I thought by now £60k would have done it.

I see others on for sale but no idea what prices are being actually achieved currently. With such a spread in asking prices its hard to value. What would this be worth in todays market.

Late 2017 carerra 4. ( non s )
25k worth of options. V v high spec, basically everything youd want on it.
A few being pdk, pdls, pse, 20" spyders
Porsche history until last one which was just done by a porsche specialist.
No porsche warranty
23k miles

Whats this realistically worth on a private sale?

So, a car that was £106k new, if it has £25k of options, and now 7 years old with 25k miles on it?


Who knows these days?

I guess it should be around £55k, but everything is still £10-15k more than normal.
I think £60k would feel like a fair price, might be worth £5k more if all of those £25k worth of options are things you genuinely couldn't live without and if the colour combo and wheels make it one of the best looking 911's you have ever seen? After all, falling in love with a car can make spending a bit more on it worth every penny.


The no warranty is an issue, and does change the value for me.

Your thinking the same as me. I get the jist its going to be mid 60's more than mid 50's though.

That would be great at mid £50’s. Trade clearly buying them at that level or less. £25k of options sounds significant but most cars with that spend don’t have the brakes God would choose- PCCB. I’d pay more for those. They are epic. No brake dust a nice bonus as well.
Wish I could find a nice 991.2 at sensible money. Nothing new comes to market and I’m back looking at Elises.

Me too

I use an industrial estate

I just checked a couple of the links above and they don't show a postcode. As long as you just have the big long number on the end and only this you should be fine.

You can take out every thing after the number, so from the "?" in the long url.


So....

based on this I'd not buy a car from Invictus, big markups and clearly not had the bores inspected as per the advert says, so it is probably in desperate need of an engine rebuild now
Do they offer a warranty?

25k in 7 years... that's only ~3500 miles a year. I really do wonder what's the point?? Get in the ruddy thing and drive it. These cars don't like being sat about for 6 months of the year.

Because loads of people just buy one because they think it would be nice to have. Maybe they use it for the odd weekend and trip away. And they keep miles low as result. Not everyone buys them to daily.
Same sort of thing as people buying a drawer full of £10k plus wristwatches. You can only wear one at a time but for some, owning rather than using is what it’s all about.

Agreed, these are third and forth cars for most.

I do maybe 2k miles a year but they are very enjoyable and worth the cost to me, we have other cars so right time, right car. It doesn't ever sit for 6 months just don't use it for longer trips as I said others cars are better.

Why such a variation is used prices. Just looking online again the miss match on prices is all over the place.
In some instances, 991.1 similar or more expensive than 991.2, even 992 coming into 991.2 pricing.
Few months ago i had my eye on a 2015 991.1 gts that porsche had on at £79,950, Today its on at £69,950, so i had a quick search to see where it sits and its not far from a 991.2 gts even at £70k It now looks more around a 60k car.
Then you see people asking 50-60k on regular 991.1 models.
No idea whats value and whats not.

Valid point and there are a lot of them on the market.
I fancy a 991.2 but it's got to be 7-10k cheaper than an equiv 992 to be competitive. that said I have no time to drive my two current weekend toys due to young children so I'm in no rush to buy just yet.
