Opinions on this car..

Thinking about it, although no lift, LEDs or Bose but very low miles and the colour I want

Is this priced well?

New list on that car would be about £120,500(exc tax) so asking price roughly £22.5K overs..This is pretty typical of asking prices at OPCs but doesn't mean they are selling prices..

I wouldn’t say it’s priced well....it’s a car you like which is the most important thing but not an easy one to shift. I’d make an appointment and get in there in the next couple of days and offer £135k and tell them you’ll take it before year end.

I reckon that would buy that car as they will almost certainly want to sell cars to hit 2018 budgets. £15k premium to RRP for a car of that spec is a fair deal for both parties I reckon.

They’ve had the car since the summer..

They’ve offered me £95k for my .1 GT3 with 26k miles on it

Over allowance on my car but not budging on the price of the .2

What kind of over allowance is that £5k maybe a bit more? Looks like there are AUC cars of similar mileage for £103k?

Still reckon they may shift a bit more.

I had it as a £118k car and it’s now been dropped to a couple of K above what they paid for it.

So they are a bit stuck as it’s a £133k car in today’s market.

There are quit a few dealers in the same position as with black GT3, cars bought in the summer at a high price.
Better to skip that car and pick up the new cars that come to the market at the current reduced level.
These dealers will then realise they are not going to get their money back and take the loss on the cars they have overpaid for and have in stock.
Hold tight!!

Its a £120.5K but it makes no difference either way..The metallic paint and full leather adds £3K on top of the listed options..It was bought last summer from a P'header and like a lot of GT3s on OPC's website have been paid too much for.
Depending on what happens this Spring when they announce new Porsche prices it could make used stock appear better value than present,,

Will the new prices really not appear until Spring? That means anybody ordering a new car for the next 3 months won't know what it will end up costing them.

That's a strange state of affairs.

We live in unprecedented strange uncertain times..! And not all of it can be blamed on this Brexit circus, albeit it will make for a very convenient scapegoat..paperbag

If they have had the car since the summer it’s clearly to expensive!

Just like JZM have had the 2 white 7.2 GT3 comforts for sale since June. Only dropping the price £3-4k and still not selling. Way overpriced IMO...

I spotted them two a while ago, assumed they are SOR and the owners possibly need to sell high to be able to get out or there not bothered if the sell.

You would be much better with this beauty. Alastair seems a really nice guy but the numbers don’t work for me.

Owner is a member on here so could fill you in with anything you want to know I guess.

Maybe I am “old school” but if you can do the hard bargaining face to face I think it can make that little but if difference. Good luck !
