Anyone for ‘T’
Discussion
I'm still under decided whether to get a GTS (911.2) or T . I've not due had the chance to try either (only a S).
Anyone had both and could compare for me please? It will be used as my kind-of-day - however I work from home, and will be B roads mostly with the odd longer trip. I have an Elise for the weekend.

About money really as the GTS is the better car but costs more.Anyone had both and could compare for me please? It will be used as my kind-of-day - however I work from home, and will be B roads mostly with the odd longer trip. I have an Elise for the weekend.
If you want manual and bucket seats though a T will be easier to find.
If you don’t want buckets and don’t care about bhp and bigger brakes the base cars a lot cheaper.
T only works for me with buckets, no rear seats and manual spec.
And that for me works if it starts with a 6 in price.
You just missed out on a cracking GTS but it sold the same day.
What works for you only you know.

I’m after a manual with both cars . I’m not fan of the buckets and need the back seats as well. I can afford a GTS lucky and love the looks . However I don’t really know if there are worth 15k more.If you want manual and bucket seats though a T will be easier to find.

Are you referring to the Miami blue one ? I enquired about that as it’s my favourite colour combo but it’s got a mileage discrepancy, as someone might have messed with the mileage so the OPC aren’t going to sell it but auction on the trade market so I’m sure it will turn up shortly again but the market again, however the permanent mark on the HPI is a no for me at that sort of money.

It was a GT silver car at £125k list for £87k a cracker.Are you referring to the Miami blue one ?

Not good times for 2nd hand cars with 3 million clocked cars on the roads and at the higher end now days where in the past it was lower end cars. I thought it was a thing of the past but this high end value market , mileage blockers are rife.

I also thought I wanted buckets, they look great, but they are very tight on the hips for me, so we’re ruled out on my T.
I thought the standard seats looked a bit boring, but I love them now, very supportive and comfortable.
The folding buckets are great, but very rare....and not height adjustable.

The Ashgood car looks nice - plain simple manual T, exactly as it should be.
I suppose it depends on whether you like White - but it suits the T and looks pretty smart in the pics.
I understand, from on here, that they normally work on narrower margins for a swifter turnover, but they’ve had that car for about a month - maybe it’s the time of year?

This is was SOR as the guy is local to me. I made an agreed price with him which was a bargain and then he called up Ashford to get the car and they matched my price which he went for to save having to go collect. Totally pissed me off as I would of gone higher and he didn’t even think to call me back.
There is not much of a margin to be honest.
I’d still buy it but I’m smarting from the fact I could of got it for a few ££ less if he just called me back.

That’s a pain - i have had a similar experience twice.There is not much of a margin to be honest.

Very annoying but I do understand there are so many time wasters out there that a reputable trade offer is preferable
Ashgoods already knocked £1k off it.
the issue on the T is the same as the Cayman R now, spec is key, "drivers" spec that is other wise buy the better equipped S at £60k.
the bucket seated manuals with no rear seats and no sunroof sell almost straight away at £70k.
As predicted it's the new lower cost "drivers" spec car 2nd hand, and buyers will be fussy about having "driver spec"
no point buying a comfort T over an S it's £10k down the toilet for a lower spec car !
yes a buyer for every car and all that, get over it :-) you have to look at 2nd hand market demand now.

why?
Its a unique low volume model that is already under valued.Rear seat delete, light weight glass, cloth door pulls, a real fun package.
I really love my yellow Carrera T, the perfect weekend car.
I just think the right spec cars will always be rare and desirable.
Especially if they don’t do a 992 T. But the 992 is just a massive uber barge full of electronics.....I’ve driven one and I’m not interested.....would rather buy a Range Rover.
