So after nearly 2 years of 'T-ing', I find I have the itch again. But quite shocked by the offers from OPCs (very low 60s for a 7T - mile car). Do we think they'll settle there or continue to drop?

Hard to predict the market, but exact specification may affect individual p/ex offers.
I have noticed that a lot of ‘T’s seem to have conflicting options - i.e. a lwt car with lots of weight added back.
What is your spec.?

I tried to retain some but not all of the focussed stuff: manual, no sunroof or RWS. Kept the rear seats but deleted thin glass. Went for the T interior and I like it a lot. The cars on the OP locator are under- or over - specc'd imho.

It's a stupid itch and I daredn't say what I'm looking at but it may be time to get out if Ts aren't going to settle. Or just keep it forever...it is a brilliant car and the best 911 I had since my 993.

I also toyed with selling my T before Christmas.
Aside from the valuation which is similar I couldn't really come up with an alternative road car which would make a switch worthwhile.
I think the spec does matter but I doubt there is much demand for the stripped out option with fixed bucket seats its just not that sort of
car, despite Porsche marketing. I went with manual/rear steer/no rear seats/18way seats and yes a glass roof just to lighten the interior.
It makes for an interesting road drive that will probably return more value next year than my M3 CP did after 3 years ownership in percentage terms

OPC retail’s seem to start very low £70’s so a £8-10k spread seems typical. Out of interest what colour is your car? - I may well be interested

Market is on its arse....OPC’s will I suspect only buy cars at a level where they think they can’t lose money.

If you want to sell I’d be going SoR with someone like JZM...they’d charge something like £5k and get close to OPC money for it so you might get a few £k more. I don’t think you can say any cars will stabilise at current levels

I went to a manual 991.2 GTS from a T.
A lot better option and will hold it’s money a lot better.

Are you trading in, or just selling to them?
I'd want a bit off at the new end of things, whatever you buy probably won't be much better depreciation wise at the moment.

You'd hope the T has seen the worst of things, l can't see them being drastically less by spring.
If you want a manual contemporary 911 there's not many other options and not too many of them either.

There's actually not that much choice if you're trying to buy one in the "right" spec.

Maybe...I went from A 991.1 GTS into the T and liked it a lot more. As a driver’s car it is much better. For GT the GTS edges it. Ironically, it’s now the GT I need for present purposes...

Trade on your car is £65k but technically slightly more if it has buckets.

Your spec is 'right' for the T in that it is minimal although most buyers do want the lightweight glass if only for enhanced exhaust noise internally. The T pack is also crucial and red stitching with the white a great colour combination for resale.

I sold my red man 18 18 T last summer for just under list ££ with sub 2k miles it had heated (standard) comforts, rear seats, pcm, T pack red stitching, lightweight glass and dab.

Actually really miss the car more than I thought.

I tend to think your price of early £60ks looks cheap irrespective of your relatively highish mileage. Only 30 white UK T manuals and I think they will become fairly collectible due to low numbers and last of the narrow bodied Carreras although granted this could take a couple of years and depends on the 'niche' 992 models although current indications are not brilliant imo from the basic cars thus far.

Imo I would be inclined to keep the car especially as you say you like it.

A great package at the money btw and very reminiscent of the 997.1 C2S in many areas including sound.

Nice buy at £50k these

but needs Buckets, PCCB's and the glass imo to make any sense of the T

it was a GT3 failed orders car at the end of the day and a bit meh, at todays pries looks VERY expensive over 991.2 GTS's
very small market segment for this car. And I mean VERY small where 99% will look at the cheaper GTS with better brakes more stuff and more Bhp esp in gay spec. The spec I listed suits the car but very few did that !

You do post some condescending garbage, cheapest one for sale is over £70k, they are more with buckets etc - so it’d be even better than a ‘nice buy’ at £50k
