Just had a quick look on the OPC network to see how many GT4RSs there are for sale. There are 7.

3 cars with up to 100 miles on them
1 car with 300 miles.
1 car with 800 miles.

It's a pretty poor show isn't it?

Im struggling to get my head around it.......(GT4RS) that has been driven around the block and back to the dealer, not many around i get it, (example...there is a green car available 44 miles for £219,990 ... configurator list price £141,077 + otr ) is someone really going to pay that!!

No idea if they're changing hands for £200k+. If they are there are more buyers than I would expect and I assume they're speculators?

Not many options on that I'd say, most cars purchased to use and keep will be circa £160k.

It depends, I can see how someone would be tempted to get a stripper spec at £130k and drive the wheels off it. That's what I'd do if I was in the market.

Not for long especially when you see cars like 996RS falling from £170k plus highs to struggling in 120s

Well I’ve got 1200 miles on mine so far in just over a week and it’s bloody brilliant. Been to see uncle Matt at Fernsport today for Geo, pads and fluid change. Just got to get a few hundred more miles onto it and we are good to go at Oulton Park on Friday. driving
People who buy them and don’t drive them are contemptible in my view. Their loss.

Cheeky mine was £130K ish. I don’t feel like it’s a stripper spec. I didn’t want mag wheels as I am yet to be convinced by the durability on lots of trackdays, and I’m on steel brakes for the same reason.
A stripper spec car is sub £120K. The cars at £160K are all flipper specials with all the “must have” options laugh like a £6K bonnet stripe laughlaughlaugh

Apolgies, I didn't mean to offend. I'm totally of the same opinion as you, the WP stuff is very expensive cosmetics that will be pricey to replace. I'd spec one for track use too and they really don't need much for that job.

Unlike when it was first launched you'd struggle to get one under £120k by the way, the list price is now £123k! tongue out

£6k is obviously a lot of money to you, and that's fair enough, but it isn't to some on here, with respect..

It's also not a £6k CXX option any more, it's a £1527 regular option.

Please show me any 996RS for sale for 120's. Cheapest Ive seen in awhile was a dubious example selling on CC for 142k with fees. JZM just sold theres for 160.

You mean the one that sold on CC a few days ago?

Know the chap who bought it, and it's a very good car so not sure what the dubious comment is?

Dubious being it sold at auction and nobody unless they went to see it can confirm how original/well maintained the car is etc. Sure there are some good cars on CC but there are some lemons too.

They did and it is, in fact a very good one.

I'm not a fan of CC by any stretch of the imagination, but unless you've inspected a car it's probably best not to suggest it's dubious.
