A private purchase may not suit everyone but as I pointed out it was a bargain.

I find myself keep looking for one.. But want a low mile, low owner car.

With - Buckets, leather dash, xenons, nav, carbon trim and sound pack but in a decent colour. I’d love a PTS, but seems any PTS owners do used them as rare to find a sub 20,000 mile one!

Buy one you like, the number of owners makes very little difference once you have it. As long as it has beens serviced as it should have been
As for low mileage models they can cause trouble later on life and you will pay a premium for one and lose that premium once you use it. Even 20,000 mile is only about 3,500 miles per year since new and hardly a lot of miles.

I got lucky bought my 9,500 mile 2 previous owners GT4 for 67.5K and I love it and have already done 4k mile son it since I got in in Nov last year


Even more funny is one fellow member on here , 911R I believe thought you would be able to pick up a GT4 for as low as £50K!! I still chuckle at that. But having said that current prices seem crazy and makes me tempted to sell mine .......until I drive it and then I think what else could I replace it with for the money

I'd expect that car to be 'bob on' as Joe doesn't deal in rubbish.

on AT I count 5 (red, yellow, orange, green, blue) with that spec, all under 20,000. Doesn't seem rare to find at all! quite the opposite.

That was me smile
Before Covid and the chip-shortage-disposable-income impact they were heading to high 50’s. This is true. Of course now it’s another world. I never said 50k. I said they’d start with a 5 … and they did.

You missed out on the Voodoo blue one MaxRevs bought

That’s a corker.

Have bookmarked you and I’ll keep an eye out for you. Apologies I didn’t pick up on the PTS requirement. Best regards

There were and a few that weren't. It was all going that way, but now seems an impossibility to ever reach those low levels again.

Is this a bit toppy for a private sale or on the money?

A little bit toppy IMO. But not by much.

Pro: six months ago ago,it was an approved used Porsche, Porsche warranty, new tyres, buckets, steel brakes.

Other: 4 owners; relatively high mileage by GT4 standards (I think this is ludicrous but it seems to be a thing); colour may be considered bland by those who like the bright colours; no ceramics - brakes cut both ways; clubsport but query whether the fire extinguisher is there (expensive to source if not); no passenger harnesses so a bit budget perhaps but fixable for £525; maybe no nav module (hard to say) which won’t bother some but may bother others.

I think if I wanted an Agate clubsport I’d look hard at the one at Porsche S London as well despite its higher mileage.

side sills poorly scuffed, shows lack of care, Alcantara looks beat up too. I suspect when you get past the initial buzz days of purchase you'll start to notice marks and regret the purchase.

Most buyers want Nav and max 2 owners.

Higher than ave mileage and no climate?? won't help either.

PCM is pretty poor in my view. The native PCM functionality shows its early 2000 roots painfully obviously. It needed a complete UI overhaul years ago.

The menu/ submenu structure with a mix of hard and soft buttons, and functions tacked on all over the place, is a mess. The 3D view in Nav, where you lose the top third of the display to blue sky, is dreadful.

Prior to Porsche enabling Carplay/Android auto at the factory, the only question one needs to ask of the PCM module is whether it will take a third party Carplay/Android upgrade.
