Who remembers that puff piece about Porsche AG/GB clamping down on flippers this time round?

Well the seller can do it once, he may not get invited back for any further cars, but may not care when sitting on a large profit!

I'm pretty sure that triple black GT2 RS was supplied by the lovely people at OPC Hatfield.

It's done 600 miles though. Buyer could argue they have used it.

JZM price is insane.

In real-world usage, it's just 'another' RS and, as with most, will never be used anywhere near to its full potential.

It'll never be a true classic (superseded in 5 years) and nor will 99.9% of owners of the thing have the skills to wring it out. Anywhere.

Its been happening a while though and most being flipped via JZM. You can only surmise the OPCs are complicit and know exactly whats going on. Same old flippers getting the cars. Porsche also under pay their sales staff so what do they expect. Every salesman is at it.

What you maybe missing is to have achieved an allocation a serious number of ‘normal cars’ have been purchased at losses which helps the OPC’s. I have heard such ‘flippers’ loosing hundreds of thousands of pounds just to be in the club for a GT car and that most OPC have had their slice of the upside in value due to this.

So many may well have to ‘flip’ the car just to get back in the black from the dealings with the OPC.

So it’s now ending up cheaper and less risky just to pay the extra flipped price and have none of the stupidity of Dancing to the OPC’s tune.

Got a call from Reading OPC yesterday as they have a 439 mile GT3.2 up for sale - £174,900. Apparently it's 'sensibly priced'

Well the 2014 GT3 is still being advertised for around £125k so depending on the spec that £175k could very well be sensibly priced.

Perhaps Porsche GB politely asked them to reduce the price for us mere pheasants. Doesn't pass smell test at all so many RHD UK cars already available smile
