Then they were gone

[robgt3]

On the Porsche used car list 2 days ago there were 7 GT3RS's. Today there is 1. Amazing, Sold or deleted? I know dealers were told not to advertise till model production had ceased which it has. 6 sold in a day is a bit unbelievable though. Thoughts?

[Gary81]

Honestly... I'd say those that have purchased have brought at prices that no longer work... so have either sold cheaper to release stock or are holding until values return to make the books balance (6 in one day is odd though, unless they have all agreed to drain the supply for this year)... 458 Speciale will be next IMHO.... too high and too many been/being flipped

You have to be off your head to pay 250k for an RS, or 300k plus for a 458 Speciale.

£500k for an RS4.0???

Porsche uk know the problems it's facing with regards to opc centres selling cars to flippers, my guess is they have been asked to remove them again. I'm sure if you walk into the opc who had these up for sale they will be sat in the showrooms for sale. It's a shame the Porsche GT brand Is all about how much more my car is worth over retail rather than the fun of driving and enjoying these cars.

I think it will go pretty quick. If I had half a million spare i'd be straight down there with my debit card!

Wouldn't fancy doing a trackday in 30 degrees without aircon!

As much as I love the RS4.0, I'd have this in a heartbeat (with the original bonnet please) and save myself £320k...

Interesting. I agree they couldn't have sold so quickly given there is a 212k uv one that's remained unsold for a while plus plenty with asking prices of 225-235, all under the original warranty and only a handful of miles.

Interestingly there is now a low miles, nice spec, Speciale for 300k. Can't remember when they were last this "low".

[Gary81]

Personally... I agree with this for various reasons which I won't bore you with.

I would hold it a little longer if you want to save a few pounds. I recently counted that there is more than 35 uk cars for sale. Lowest advertised price I have seen for sub 400 mile car is £210k. Jzm had a LHD for around £180k recently, they also have a rhd Hong car for £209k.

No idea why I look as I can't afford £200k for a Sunday car!

My local OPC had 3 in the showroom the other week along with 3 GT4s. They weren't allowed to advertise them any more I was told by the salesman

One opc had 3 gt3 991 RS cars and 3 gt4 cars all in there showrooms and for sale at the same time?

[Bernardino]

Apparently so

[Fokker]

I was told that Porsche sent out an email telling dealers to remove them.
GT4 is safe now but not GT3RS apparently.

I was also told that dealers flouting the rules will potentially be offered less GT cars in the future.

[robgt3]

2 back on sale again. Can't say whether they were part of the 6 that disappeared. Love to know what is going on.

[Jeweller70]

I hear another batch next year, not a .2 just another batch? Anyone heard the same? Delivery from March 17

mmhh much as I love them, I'd walk right past it to a Carrera GT at that money

[LordHaveMurci]

Saw one on the road earlier, even in a subtle bronzey colour it's really not a looker is it.
