Yep just had another browse , 29 for sale (if you tick the right boxes the number rises) and interestingly they are now starting to reduce in price to mid 80’s - one car I was watching has gone from £k92 to £k86 over a couple of months - starting to look like better value. smile
re my earlier post - 70-75k might be a bit wishful for a 6-month old 911. My bad. At £80k for the right spec (light spec = manual and leather T pack) car and they are good value. Possibly £85k for a car with PCCBs, RWS, BOSE, metallic paint etc (if you really want all that stuff!) and again - good-to-ok value. I think there are plenty of punters for the car... but they are all watching from the sidelines... waiting for them to become value.

I sat in a T at Cardiff on Tuesday and i was really impressed with the way it looked.Guards red,manual,sport classic rims,yellow T interior and buckets..My perfect spec and colour if it wasn't for the glass roof. Since the roof is exactly the same price as RAS, if it was substituted i think i would have bought it..

No rws and red stitching!

Greater than the sum of their parts despite many armchair experts claiming otherwise.

Very much this. Another 300 miles in mine this weekend and it has been superb.

It found a friend with a famous owner this afternoon too. 😂

I would see if you can arrange test drives of both a T and an S back to back at the same dealership. That will help.
You looking for manual or PDK?
The T is an immense car , fast and fun, it dances, sings and everything in between... An S and a GTS for that matter is just fast.. and a tad sterile and dull in comparison... if you love driving get a T in manual with RWS.. The difference really is night and day....

It’s a shame they weren’t able to use the Club Sport name... I think that would have focussed the mind better on how the car feels...

If you want a manual and the slimmer proportions then a T would fit the bill. I was grateful yesterday for its lesser width whilst trying to find a parking spot in Bristol plus the proportions are great on our narrow country lanes which is really where it sings.
The Swindon black one with yellow T interior and buckets is a great spec.

That's one of the nicest i've seen and looks great in Black.There are a lot for sale right now so buyers can haggle and be picky on spec and colour.

I know someone who got the price of the LWB's and PCCB's basically for free on a new one in July so definitely room for haggling. The 2 used ones at Hexagon are way overpriced. The black one is Damian's from 'The Car Guy's' who chopped it in for a flipped GT3 Touring - ouch!

A better buy than the Swindon one though is the Leeds black one for 87k which would have retailed over 100k. Prefer the yellow T interior with black though. Must be a buyer's market now.

Gearing on the manual Carrera I had for a weekend was fine (75mph at the top of second I think), certainly in the context of modern Pork - nothing like as bad as on the 981s. Incidentally, I went PDK on the 981 BGTS for the same reason as you

I thought this was interesting. I wonder how many more cars were left to be registered in Q3. It’s not a lot of cars is it - especially if you discount the automatic version (sorry for those who like). I’m also struck by the fact that it’s mostly two seaters available on autotrader or from Porsche dealers.

Take one for a spin and see what you think.... Plenty about to try at the moment.... Go for the manual though!

So, no more narrow body 911’s confirmed as from 992 onwards they will now all be the same width...

I saw that ..... quite disappointing from an historic perspective but will no doubt help with their base costs ....

So the T is the one of last of the narrow body cars...!!

amazing reviews of the Litchfield package. Got to be tempting to have all that extra for £7-8k but maybe when its 3 years old and out of warranty

I presume that the numbers are only correct if the V5C has got 'Carrera T' written on it ?

Being the last narrow body 911’s, manual, no back seats and with RWS makes them a compelling and collectable prospect?
