I'm refinancing the balloon on my 718 in the coming 60days, so I thought some people (owners and potential buyers) on here might be interested to know where Porsche see GT4 residuals in the coming years.
Car was bought brand new - PDK, registered July 2022, list of £92.5k (Aug 2021 price which I had locked in at point of order in teh summer of '21). 2yr final balloon underwritten at the time was £66.3k.
Balloons underwritten on the car as of today are:
July 2026 - £58.2k
July 2027 - £53.9k
July 2028 - £51.4k
Trade-in values on the car are c£75-77k, so a nice bit of equity still left in the car v the balloon. I ummmed and ahhhed over a 4RS allocation, but financially it made no sense to me v what I use the car for, so I turned the allocation down. Coupled with my OPC actively telling me not to sell the car because in his opinion it's the sweet spot, a good balance of special v road v track, and in his opinion there's nothing coming down the pipeline to match it, or currently in the Porsche 'newish' used market stable at similar value price points. He said I would massively regret changing.
Anyway, given those nice steady depreciation points above, the Python will be staying for at least a couple more years, and it'll be having a couple of treats added to it soon once I've got over the shock of paying £1000 for it's first service.

Cannot see trade at £75-77k when this is only £81k, probably more low 70s

How do you know the mileage on KMPs GT4 in assessing its value?https://finder.porsche.com/gb/en-GB/details/porsch...
Placcy dash door tops and console on that OPC car too.

That’s Interesting - I bought my MY23 GT4 fully loaded for £108k and GFV balloon after 4 years is £58k which I think will be lower than the actual value. Time will tell

Yep GFVs have traditionally never accurately reflected GT Porsche residuals.
The simple fact that even a nine year old 981 GT4 with reasonable spec and mileage still retails for over original list ££ confirms this.
I am looking at purchasing a GT4 in the near future but trying to work the best VFM between 981 and 718 in terms of finance. The simple fact that even a nine year old 981 GT4 with reasonable spec and mileage still retails for over original list ££ confirms this.
There's a couple of 981s I see around the £62-64k mark which tick the boxes I want, but then now there are 718s with similar spec coming up for sale at around £75k
