The yellow car they listed yesterday at £85k has been increased to £90k today as well.
I'm not surprised about the yellow car, IMO it was too cheap at £85k, and arguably too cheap (considering the spec and competition) and a bargain at £90k. Twinfan said:

Random question, both coolant and oil running at 106 deg with normal, relaxed driving. It’s hotter than I remember, is this normal?
Perfectly normal for the new 4.0 in the 718 GTS/GT4/Spyder. They run hotter than previous models My 718 GT4 has just ticked over 3 years old - time has certainly flown! I've ever dared to drive it and I'm rapidly racking up 13k miles, mostly road but some track too. Perish the thought, and it hasn't got PPF either
Any original owners had their cars longer? I was very lucky and I think I had the 3rd car at my OPC, so you'd have to have been at the top the allocation list I suspect...

I note that Silverstone have also put up the price of their red car. It was on auto trader at £82k when I went to look at it and they were due to pick it up the next day. Now at £91.5k. I think it’s over priced tbh compared to the yellow one.
There might be an element of pricing in Porsche's soon to be announced MY24 price increases.Most new orders will probably fall into MY24 production, and it looks like a 5-8% price rise is in the pipeline and dealer's typically adjust used values towards new.

10,000 miles in 18mths in mine. No PPF either, and horror of horrors… it’s not got carbon buckets. It’ll be worth 50p by Christmas. Any original owners had their cars longer?

Nice going - good to see someone else getting done miles in. These cars are too good to sit idle!I was out in mine today, cruising through traffic, just enjoying a short journey to and from my OPC with a bit of sunshine to brighten things up.
Simple pleasures

Hi.
I have just received a letter from my OPC saying my service is due. I thought the recommended intervals were 2 years or 20k miles, whichever came first. My car is March 2022 and has done 15k (I know intense usage for a gt4!).
I can’t find the official Porsche figures. Can anybody confirm?
Thanks
Rob

Yep 2 yrs or 20k miles whichever comes first is correct. Sounds like a mistake. Coincidence it is 12 months old. Could be a recall perhaps best check with them.
Cheers, thought I’d check, tho with my mileage and waiting times to book a slot probably worth booking soon.Disproves those who claim you can't use a GT4 as a daily...invariably by those who haven't driven one.
Just added... £107k for a great spec car, yet it's coming up to 2 years old!

Would any of the previous vocal naysayers care to come back and comment on how the market has actually gone, considering they were predicting fire sales and a plethora of unsellable cars a couple of months back?

Wasn’t going to bite but you dangled the carrot, like I said before just because something disappears off the site it is no evidence of sold or if sold what it actually went for! Only last weekend I was offered by an OPC a brand new club sport gt4 pre registered at just a few K over list , 6 months ago that would have been a minimum of £10k plus premium , I declined! Porsche is ramping up production and delivery this year to the UK by about 20% so doesn’t bode well for second hand values , but as long as you are driving and enjoying your car values have no bearing, they will all loose money in the end the free lunch is over!https://finder.porsche.com/gb/en-GB/details/porsch...
