A good picture comparison to show the difference between the 3 wheels.

I’m definitely going standard Aluminium if I get my car
Only problem is there's 4 options . It still doesn't show difference between silver and satin aluminium , which I think is the one most people are struggling with .

Very disappointed to see I've just been offered a car from someone that's trying to flip it quickly. frown
Link?
Thanks for the mail smile
TH Boler are advertising one on Autotrader for £199k. Even with a few going under the radar there's still way less flipping than we saw with RS's and GT4's. I would say a positive step forward .

Possibly the last ever manual N/A GT3? 199k is a bargain! wink

Wait and see what the Manual Touring starts to fetch. My bet is quite a bit over the 200 mark

I think white manual cars with CS, pccb's, platinum wheels and carbon mirrors are going to be priceless. Hang on that's my spec.... smile

Anyone paying large overs might do well to remember what happened to the early .1gt3 and early RS. Quickly went to stupid numbers but then as production continued on and on.. and on.. those overs dropped a lot to something a lot more sensible. There's little to suggest the trend won't continue for the .2gt3. Per rennlist, in 2 months of North American production there are already over 600 cars and it seems numbers are going to be fairly in line with the .1gt3 in the end (2k in north america alone) which is a very good car but hardly a rare one.

Interesting - prefer the Agate non GT3 in the Crayon shot smile
It looks very similar to a used GTS that I saw in OPC Wolverhampton showroom. In the metal, that car, with that colour combination looks extremely good.

Do you not have an allocation?

I don't think the ave person pays £60k overs, footballers and the super rich if they want the car will pay though.
but the cars soon drop when it's not the newest latest thing to own.

the rich divide is so big you cannot even think about the wages F1 drivers and Footballers and Artists are on, even a BBC news reader is on £600k

Radio 1 20 years olds on £300k !!!

these are a long way of the ave £27k wage and a good wage at £60k is again not worth talking about vs the new super rich.

It's always going to happen....the fact it's not happening in such a brazen manner is a good thing.

I saw the owner of Bramley Cars complaining about the fact he'd been offered two on Twitter....from someone who's no doubt profited massively over the years from buying and selling flipped cars I thought it was very odd.

agree the 3rd party dealers love it, they have a list of people waiting for the new car, they just need stock and make £15k on the back of it.

it's not just Pork, the Mercs GTR at £200, Lambo's at £300k all at overs is how these people make the money.

To change the subject and get this thread back on track i've read on Rennlist that new GT3.2 owners are having issues with damaging the fins on the rear diffuser. This is made worse when using the front lift as one new owner picked up on.He even went to the trouble of having a friend sitting in his GT3 to operate the front lift while he lay down behind the car and noticed that when the front lifted the rear splitter lowered even closer to the ground.
its become such a problem some owners are even removing the diffuser and storing it to avoid any potential damage. I strongly suspected this a while back and expressed my fears on this thread.
Are any UK owners who have already taken delivery of their GT3s having the same issues i wonder?..

Does it make any difference to what I posted above whether I have an allocation...?

It looks like a pretty cheap moulded piece of plastic to me?!

The mistake you made then was to assume that if you use the lifter to raise the front by, say, 3cm, the rear would come down by the same amount. Not so. The car is rotating around the rear axle so that the amount the rear comes down is less because the wheelbase is longer than the rear overhang. Most likely, the damage to the diffuser is happening in transit as the cars are taken on and off transporters and I doubt this is an issue in normal use. Nevertheless, I plan to ask the dealer to put the car on a ramp at delivery so that I can verify the underside is undamaged.

I haven't had trouble when using the lift. Like many others I'm already on my second diffuser (damaged in transit) and I'll probably replace every service if needed, no bother.
