Try The Speciale now, it is a fun car to drive, you know you want too, I loved the fast steering others seem to not like and I loved the auto as the gears are so Mega short, so in manual mode you are flicking those paddles a lot.
These were £320k 6 months ago, so at £260k has to be worth a go, iconic drivers car.

But yes school boy error selling a manual CS having driven most things it's still amazing , just not as shouty as any other super car but the best drivers car for sale today imo.

Now what will you pay for a 1 owner looked after CS with some sexy carbon mirrors ?

But 8 k miles is very low mileage for a Porsche ..... this is the argument . Only now with the "new" Porsche owners since they bought and made "overs" has this story come up because yes most are not really that keen on the marque ( I have a banker friend with a .2GT3 Manual , who hates driving it hence 350 miles only but talks about it in the pub ) . I have now done 10 k miles and not bothered as it is a Porsche , but ran it in for 1,800 miles whereas a colleague had one which he flipped after 800 miles , nearly all of which were on track ...... which probably made no difference anyway .
Anyway long and short of it is in 30 years of Porsche driving it is only in the last few years that suddenly 8 k miles is "leggy". After 86 k miles in my 64 RS the compression tests were very good so maybe Porsche has taken the Ferrari mantel over of making chocolate engines .
The joke here is your 964 has done 2.5k PA !!! Way less than any modern Gt Porsche owners ave miles.

So to say new owners is not correct, it’s always been a thing as most are 2nd even 3rd cars.

Performante looks better value than the Speciale imo at £160k for an 18 18 good spec and miles.

Not everyones cup of tea admittedly though.

True but prices have gone up £20k since the drops, while the 458 has dropped £60k , so now much closer in price then ever before.

The 600lt now looks a deal at £139k

There must come a point people will start buying 600lt's I wonder what the price point will be ?

I agree on the Speciale..RSVP should now definitely have a drive in a Speciale..There are a couple at Ferrari Swindon for realistic prices.

Yep that black 19 19 2k miler c£220k list sold for c £130k inclusive on Collecting Cars a month or two ago.

Actually better value than the blue 18 18 720 S Performance 5k miler £260k list sold at c £130k inclusive around the same time.

Reckon £100k looks about right for these next Spring.

600lt or Speciale, total no brainer IMO, it would be the McL all day and every day. A fantastic little car with proper steering that you can put miles on and also not look like you wear a medallion or run a tanning salon smile

I don't.

But the 720 S referred to was a 2018 car on a 18 plate (as opposed to a 67 or 68 plate).

And the 600LT referred to was a 2019 car on a 19 plate (as opposed to a 68 or 69 plate).

It’s not really for sale, I would also regret it as I cannot think of a better car at this money.
I would only swap for a speciale and I cannot afford one of those as a garage queen.

Went to Silverstone in the 987.2 Spyder today, boy it’s a epic drive, sadly I could not get in though but the car needed a run out. Being a bit strict for entry atm.

If you love driving you really don’t have to own anything more expensive than a 987.2 Spyder plus a few tweaks. It’s that good a car.

I am very lucky to own what I do atm all my cars are class leading, so I don’t know why I look at classifies every day.
