Not personally but yes that's what they are up for, they are with garages that specialise in these sorts of car so they can offer finance and all the bits and bobs that goes along with a premium car, the price is obviously negotiable but i would say these are the last two well specified gt3 cars out there that are brand new and had no owners (basically the buyer will be the first registered keeper).

Many thanks, Carl

Yet another poster trying to big up the price of these cars. OPCs offer 'all the bits and bobs' and you can get a low mileage CS for just over £130k. Give it a couple more months till autumn and that will drop to mid £120k. And when the Gen2 is spied in testing they will drop below list.

Are any GT3 currently trading below list? I can't see that happening really - unless the 991 is seen in a poor light due to engine issues, lack of manual gear box etc (particularly if .2 has manual option).
You had a 991 3 didn't you?

Not trying to big anything up, i was asked a question and answered it.

When I read that a yellow GT3 was available brand new I just assumed it was at an OPC .

When I read that the car / cars were available through another dealer but not direct from the seller that ruled me out straight away .

Regardless of the price being set as high as it is , you are clearly expected to pay fortwo lots of profit margin, one for the selling dealer and the other for the owner , no wonder they're still for sale.

I think the owner is going to get his fingers burnt on this one.

Good luck selling the I hope you do well.

But the GT3's in question do not have previous owners. THEY ARE BRAND NEW, correct?.

How come these vehicles are not being sold through OPC's anyway. just curious.

And therefore worth 5-10% less than an official C16 UK car?

Something like that I would have thought. I'd definitely want to pay less for one.

Why don't the people who want to buy one comment on value rather than people who will never buy this car?

I purchased a GT3 CS earlier this week but before this I had made an offer on this yellow car of 155k as that's what I was prepared to pay. I had also made offers on every single CS on the market and I lost out on 7 cars that all sold for the advertised price or close to it. Luckily I found a privately owned car through a contact that wasn't advertised at reasonable money.

From my extensive attempts to buy a CS I have found that the market is building again for these and maybe due to the limited availability of RS's. The comfort version is available and deals to be had, but the CS can command top money and this 175 price will probably be achieved or something close to it.

It's a cheap car even at 150k!

At last, we have some authentication from Radders.

Congrats too, glad you found one ...

If they are cheap at £150k, why are there two club sport cars with less than 5k miles on the Porsche site at £135k? A white one at Solihull, been there for ages and a yellow one just showed up at Glasgow?

Did you offer the seller on here £155k for his yellow car?

There were some who thought £175k could be achieved, and perhaps it was in the heat of the ramping up campaign.

If anyone thinks £175k can be achieved, would be worthwhile buying the available cars at £135k' ish and making £40k tax free within a few months.

JZM have a lot of experience with 991 GT3's, and have probably sold more than on the used market than many OPC's - will they offer to buy one outright at even £130k?

MP4 12C at £130K?
