Very strong balance sheet as well showing its also a financially sustainable long term business.

It's one of those little things isn't it? Easy to overlook, but I do always scout around for that detail when buying something relatively expensive, having had issues in the past. That and positive reviews and general reputation and recommendation.

Another vote for Redline.

Amazing stock.

Great day out!

and a vote for JZM too - some great Porsche stock there!

Yep as we said before Christmas, rarity of 'manuels' with the right spec will and have raised prices quite substantially. And wait till the weather improves.

That Tonbridge car will sell AP £160k as did the red car at JZM.

what were they selling at before xmas?

Well as a guide trade prices across the board into January are typically up between 5 and 10% depending on the car, model and spec.

That's a great looking car

Thanks, but I finally picked this up yesterday!

Congrats! Pdk?

Can I ask where you’ve picked it and price?

I am looking for one as well.

Bought it from JZM couple of weeks ago, and was just waiting on the ppf to be completed.

Only had a motorway drive back, so will wait till I have some time and good weather to take it somewhere a little more twisty. Initial impressions are that it will need an exhaust mod, as its just to quiet at normal driving speeds.

Replace the rear muffler makes a BIG difference!!!

Nice. Were you on the Toll Road yesterday by any chance? I had a red GT3 behind me which looked a lot like this.

Cheers guys. Was a reasonably priced example circa 10k less than OPC were asking.

Was on the m6 on saturday, but not yesterday.

Well done, I wish I was ready for the purchase.

How’s JZM compared to OPC as overall experience?

Well they talked to me for one, rather than ignoring me which was my last and only experience at an opc a few years ago. I'd never sat in the drivers seat of a porsche before, so don't have loads of experience with porsche...
I've known the gt3 was a great drivers car, but not really looked in to it beyond that. Saw one parked up at the beginning of this year, and thought hmm, that actually looks good. A few questions on here, and deal was done within 2 weeks.
Car was well presented. They'd done a full inspection, with things like paint depth measurements for evidence of repsrays, etc... main thing was, it was well priced which was the main factor, and meant i put deposit down, went to see the car, and concluded the sale on a quick inspection. Positive experience all round

Congratulations to your new toy! Drive it as intended and enjoy.

One crucial question is still unanswered though: Does it have a third pedal
