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?

[imycool]

I've bought mine now, so im out the market for a bit, but interesting to keep am eye on how things work in the porsche world !

[imycool]

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.

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

I got a pdk which was my preference. Manuals are fun, but I enjoy the convenience of a pdk, which most of the time will suit me better

In the hope of avoiding starting a new thread, anyone know how to get the google maps/streetview option to show on the pcm sat nav in the 991.2? I dont seem to have it

I thought you had to link to a phone with a cable.

that's what I do anyway. Apple car play and a cable etc.

Sorry, just to clarify, i dont have an iPhone. I was wanting to do it through the pcm as per the video in the link, however i dont have a google icon when i select layers.

Too 555 have a very high spec white manual CS for £155k. Be interesting to see how they get on with it.

Fantastic spec, and well priced. Not my choice of colour, but for someone happy with white, thats got to be one of the better priced ones out there.

Agree that car ticks all the boxes,

I wonder why the Miami Sutton Coldfield car has not sold it has been for sale a while now and a similar price.

No PCCB, and red interior accents with miam blue paint might not be to eveyones taste. There's cars for sale with similar spec at that price, with pccb outside opc network

[imycool]

All prices plus vat

sold in a about 3 seconds.

Already gone ? Should have asked for more money !

[imycool]

Porsche Silverstone have a manual guards red with the main boxes ticked for 152.5k and only 1500mi.

The photos for this one show a PDK. Even though the description is Manual.

Well spotted ! Good job that didn't sell in 3 mins - someone would have got a shock on collection.

Saying that, how do i find out the exact options speced on my car. Would the orginal opc disclose it ?

Geoff39GL said:

Well TOP555 have my name down for a manual GT3 with the right spec and by the time I emailed them it had gone, read into that what you will

Redline have a well specked manual, to mention one, .. why wait for 555 ?

[imycool]

Its only 5k more, significantly less miles -pretty much delivery miles, and 18 plate. And i prefer the colour. 5k premium for 6x less mileage and 18 vs 17 plate seems fair...

Geoff39GL said:

I was not waiting for 555 I used to live close to them and had said if they get a manual car with a good spec etc, they send me a weekly stock list.
I tend to ask them about cars I'm interested in, their cars always seem to be nice examples imo.

The weather's picking up, so get cracking, as someone on here advised me ! 5 days was from starting my search, to purting a deposit down..... but i was looking for pdk. Seems the well specked manuals are getting snapped up quick.

Same price, significantly less milage, and the yellow contrast seatbelts and stiching look alot nicer
