Anyone for ‘T’

OPC buyers are savage carnivores BUT in fairness not as bad as that. Well discussed, what they need/expect to clear per unit.
One positive surprise being that the car is more appealing as it is relatively low but key spec.....


hahahahaha Never thought I'd be pleased with less is more !!

Yes it’s a very nice “light” spec - assume the £k92 was OTR ?

OPC’s generally want a min spread of £k7 in my experience if they don’t need to do anything / warranty.

I’m intrigued what 911 is tempting you ?

Good luck hope it all comes together

The T needs buckets !

2nd hand market is dead imo, too many cars and choice, all the big dealers are dropping prices week on week.

Disagree - the 4 ways are spot on for the T - nice, honest and simple

May as well get a 2nd hand S then cheaper !

“Drivers” spec cars have always needed buckets hence the 918 option with rear seat delete which you cannot do with the S.

It's proven with every single drivers marketed car.

The thinking man will by the S, so the T’s selling point is lightweight drivers spec.

That's if the 918 chairs suit. Found in the RS, nice to look at but for me not comfy. Quite the opposite actually! Plus, surprisingly how many folk seem to want the rear seats

then ones buys the S, or fits folding heated buckets.

Porsche make a car for most people, they have a massive range.

Any way you can see buy the trade offers cars are not selling atm.

Buckets, ceramics etc etc. All nice but load the buy price and detract from the T's basic appeal. It's by all accounts a great usable nimble 911 that's not comparably expensive and isn't an S !!
Horses for courses ......

21 T’s in the OPC network last week and 15 this morning... It does seem the right specced cars i.e manual / RWS cars are getting snapped up...

I think buckets and ceramics are attractive options to elevate the T further away from the base 991. Although, personally, I would find the 4-way Sports seats more comfortable and practical for regular use.


It reminds me a bit of the 968CS, which Porsche sold in the early '90s to shift slow selling 968s when the market was dead.

My perfect T would be a low spec manual car with just the T interior pack, rear seats, and PCM. And ideally not a penny more than 80k.

I agree, done returned from a 1200 mile jaunt to the chinon classic in france and the 4 ways were spot on.

Apparently, not true. The specialist, classic and prestige market has picked up according to a couple of very good contacts.

They say that this end of the market is driven by sentiment and the 'feel good' factor - fuelled by the lovely weather and no especially glum news.

One said, we just need England to win the World Cup and he'll be out of stock

dealers are dropping prices it's plain and simple to see a price drop across the board.

air cooled is slow if not dead, sellers will tell you all is well, but if you look at the market it's pretty dead.
All other main stream makes are in trouble !! with cash backs and 0% offers.

And that's why it's £5k under list and not £5k above!!

Agree, things are slow out there in some sectors but equally some are very buoyant. Anything air that's average does appear snail pace. Anything unique or special will always find a home. Fast.

Anyway the T seems to tick boxes with favourable road tests and owners reviews. A case of more than it's some of parts
If someone wants it and finds the spec to their taste, great. If there's no immediate takers. No worries - I'm partial to a cup of T !!

A bit of 'G&T' hey what??
Not a bad combo !!

not so keen on the G,

But your T looks like good value and a good spec for the asking price, a good prospect for someone and a good wedge saved in the process, whats not too like..
