It's at about list now... seems that cars really aren't selling

This year-end could be the time to get into a GT4 if you've always wanted one.

Such amazing VFM for what you get...
I'm considering pulling the trigger. Unfortunately need to wait to the NY though....
In my experience you should be OK waiting until NY. I started looking this time last year and the prices were steady into the new year when I bought mine. They then started to rise again in March. You already have more choice than last year but that's not surprising as they're all a year older and therefore some first owners will have had 3 years in one and now want a change. Fokker's old car looks amazing value at £73K imo. Newcastle OPC always seems to have the best/lowest deals. I bet that if it was at a London area OPC it would be at least £5K more!

If we are looking at the GT4 being at the LA show, we should expect a press release very soon.

I'd buy private and skip the dealer markup

I paid 92k for my 991 GTS 991.2 from Newcastle. I did a couple thousand miles in it and its now at Nottingham OPC for 102k!

It's going to be an interesting one to see what the prices do. I would buy now, but honestly both financially and practically it doesn't work right now, so we'll have to see what happens with them. I had spotted yours Fokker.....seems like a steal. There's quite a few now though that are on there with great specs, low mileage and not silly money. As boxsey says, I guess a few will be appearing in the network due to the end of 3 year finance deals.

Mine can't stick around much longer surely. Its got 918 buckets, leather and PCM plus the PDLS lights.
The 10k miles must just be putting people off?

I'm sorely tempted to buy it back but I have a 981 Spyder now and they are too similar.
Had I have kept the 991.2 GTS I would be considering it.

Mileage doesn't bother me at all. Anything at or under 10k seems about right IMHO, and the spec is more important as I plan to actually drive the car....much like you did!

I looked after it, its a very clean car and it also has an 70% wrap so the paint is as new really.
It was a great car, really was... New Cup 2's too!

A small matter of Brexit is also stifling used car sales right now....

Yes, very much so... still a GT4 at list albeit 3 years later. You’d think it would sell.

Depends on which sector.

Due to the fall in new petrol and diesel car sales across several sectors this has actually resulted in a smaller supply of some vehicles and values actually rising between October and November and further rises are expected in the coming months too.

I wonder if part of the decline is car sales was also due to the VW group not having many new cars to sell!? Ive heard of some VW dealerships literally running out of cars...

Could have well contributed to the numbers...

Really hoping to see the GT4/Spyder at LA. Many still hanging onto hope that it'll happen, given Whoopsy's comments on RL. Guess we'll see in two weeks or so.

Yes I have been. I do tend to get the cars I want, but do buy my fair share of P cars.
