Seems to be a steady flow of very low mileage cars available, my bet is opc are trying their best to manage how much used stock we actually see for sale at any one time.
Conspiracy theories for sure. Some sell, some are added.

Nice new yellow gt4rs has just been listed by a opc if that’s anyone’s thing and the orange colour PTS has just had a price chop.

Just hand another count up across the normal sites and there’s now 26 cars for sale, one down since I last counted a few weeks back.

Mostly the same cars for sale, hopefully these will now start shifting as the weather breaks.
The black one at OPC Silverstone that was listed for £175k has sold. I was there last week (not in the market) wondering around when dropping car off….I was in there again yesterday, had a “Mr XX Congratulations on your new car to be collected on etc” on it. Looked good I have to say.

Meanwhile it now looks increasingly likely that the 4RS will in fact continue production for the UK market until 2025 giving it a record production run similarly lengthy to the 718 GT4 and Spyder at around 4years.

Maybe reckon on c 380 to 400 UK cars at a guess.
Further to the above it looks like the UK will receive greater allocations of the 4RS and RS Spyder in contrast to other markets including Europe where production is actually stopping due to cybersecurity issues.

Will this not affect the uk?

All they need do is sell the volume without crashing the market ... this could be happy days on speccing a GT4RS at list ...

Evo mag still says it's a £108k car ... and strangely not included in the Supercar category ?

What is interesting is that there could to a degree be a reversal in the EU and other markets affected by the cyber issues re the previous excess supply of cars to date caused by production now ceasing and the opposite effect in the UK i.e. further price easing due to the increased supply of cars.

Prepare to be swamped by Spyders. hehe

As previously posted it will be interesting seeing whether Porsche raise prices again this month.

Can’t see Porsche swamping the market with RS models.
They’re masters of marketing.

There also masters of selling units!

Look at how many new 718 gt4 landed in the Uk, if they need to they will work out a way of bringing extra cars in without creating a fuss.

Every model and generation they build great number of units.
Unless they announce it as a numbered limited run or for one production year only... they will produce and sell as many as they can.

There is more RS product on the market than ever before, just like there is more ‘casual’ GT product than ever before.

Not to mention the numbers of SRS to be added to the mix.

Regardless, doesn't really matter what the opinion might be.
It is what it is.

No - similar was announced in relation to the Macan recently as the ICE Macan doesn't comply either. They can still be sold in the UK, but not the EU.

For anyone in the know are the mag wheels worth it as an £11500 option, or to put it this way can you tell the difference on the road between alloy versus mag for anyone that has driven both?

The Mayfair car is now £2k over list but no CCB and no mag wheels with 2 previous owners and 7600 miles.

I cannot comment on your questions, but I've watched this one for a while, other similar specs are still a bit cheaper... I think it's got some more to give given the mileage.

I agree. They are under list cars.

I spoke with a well known reseller who I have bought from before and they said they would pay under list for a brand new car.

Interesting.

I've half given up looking for one now, given they'll be all of the '24 cars coming through and potentially '25 cars also, so there should be lots of choice towards the end of the year.

I did have an email from one dealer offering me a potential build slot, but I'd have to buy a car first, so no doubt the depreciation on buying an existing car would compensate for any overs on the right car.
