if the car is offered for retail it has to have teh warranty on. the buyer may be able to negotiate a 12 month rather than 2 year warranty but it wont be retailed without a warranty
I have done this a few times, OPC can do what they like, it's a3rd party warranty so if they have not paid for it they can sell it without one, they just call it a trade sale.
the cars most like on a SOR anyway so I bet you can say "no warranty thanks" you cannot add a warranty on cars this old any way , so maybe you might not get it for £70k

Any way shows the way for a mint car CS price, when we have private sales with more miles up with comfort seats for £77k !!

According to the Porsche website a car of up to 13 years old can have a 2 year warranty applied, a 14 year old car can have a 1 year warranty.

Not wanting to start another pissing completion about whose cars worth £80k ? But for me this is another indicator of where the market is going. I don’t know whether or not the car is SOR or stock but at that price there’s room for movement.

I know some like coloured wheels and stickers but they’d have to go, same with the tyres.

the guy tried to add a warranty to the CC silver car, they refused due to dates.

any way , it's close date wise if you can have one or not as the added one cannot go past 15 years so the car has to be under 14 years to be able to add one year, if it's a day over 14 years old that's that.

yep I got my 1st Cayman R and the 981 Spyder as trade sales both void of warranty to save the money as I tend not to keep the cars long.

I don't normally buy OPC cars as I tend to buy private but the 2 I have 2nd hand I did this.

Exactly the reason it's a competitive price. Imagine the response you would get from an OPC if you took that car in for a p/x offer. I'm pretty sure I heard the sucking of teeth from here! It was obviously someone's ideal colour-combo, so the same may be said for someone else, but for the already small number of potential buyers, it won't be ideal, and will need the colour scheme amending.

Ideally it could do with some more readily accessible adjustable seats, and all that scaffolding removing from the back too. biggrin

I think it’s already gone, a mate of mine tried ringing 5 times yesterday and I tried twice on his behalf as he couldn’t get to speak to a sales advisor.

He asked if there had been a lot of interest and was told they are waiting to see if a sale was confirmed.

That is a bile inducing colour combination hurl
Then the 7.2 RS isn't for you either, which of course is not to everybody's taste. Of course, this here is a copy and not the original but that should not devalue the colour combo per se
No, this combination suits the 997.2 RS and the 996 RS, on the 997.1 GT3 it just looks ....... odd.

it was always going to sell fast, it's a cheap mint low miles CS.

Not sure the hate for a sticker !!!

PH even forced the private red owner to remove his sticker !!! and he caved in and did it.

1st rule of PH ignore haters ;-)

I want a 997 GT3, but need to sell 2 cars atm other wise it would be in my garage.
