Can you buy a decent spec 991.2 GT3 for under £120K?

There's got to be a legal mechanism for doing that, and typically when the state takes something from private individuals that process is nationalisation of the asset, service, etc etc.

Far from it, so let's stick to driving.I didn't pick you for a socialist, Melvyn, but these are surprising times we live in.

For me if a car doesn’t have those “must haves” I personally wouldn’t buy it and cars thus equipped are the most expensive. So I’d say if you can find a car with those items and a few of the nice to haves for less than £120k its a cheap car as we stand today.
Is no LED's really a deal breaker for a GT3 ? Andy OH said:
There's a time and a plaice for that kind of malarkay 
, let's get back on topic....Evo Sid, are you buying a 991.2 GT3 or a GT4 981 or 718 variant??
Still only interested in 1 car GT4, let's get back on topic....Evo Sid, are you buying a 991.2 GT3 or a GT4 981 or 718 variant?? But with the rain we have had lately not sure buying one just nw is a good idea a as temptation will mean I will want to drive it and lack of skill will probably mean a disaster on the scale of Top Gear last night lol
So I will keep looking as 911R has wisely said that more cars will come on the market and the price will drop and two be fair he is right
Many , but not all , GT4 cars not selling on autotrader
Some people don't want to sell to me as "I live to far away". One guy wanted to sell his car I met his asking price but wanted the deal done on a Sunday. I mean come on how the hell do I do near £70K transition on a Sunday FFS . Another said it was easier to just trade his GT4 in for a 991 GTS at a dealer .
So being me ( 1/2 Asian and 1/2 Scottish = Tighter than super glue) I will keep to my budget and just wait til the right car comes up
Also have a couple of personal issues going on ( brother in Law has cancer but getting better and one of staff's son was involved on a bad crash and he is in a coma in ICU and his passenger is dead has shook me up a bit TBH )
But will keep you all posted as I am ermined ( but not in a hurry anymore) to get a nice Gt4

It is all your fault you told me to wait till December as there will be many to chose Forman lots of bargainsThe river will run with honey and gold.

When these cars were new a good spec car would have been about £130k....with some cars getting up to £140k. Base price was circa £110k.I suppose what I would say about those “must haves” is that it’s that spec that gets the top money. If you don’t want/need it that’s great as there’s more cars to choose from and you may get a car slightly cheaper.

No nice ones yet under £67k though imo but then none are selling either.
But I would still go for a 718 GT4 under list from an OPC in your shoes at £85k unless you can get into a manual 991.2 GT3.

I know what you mean about the lights. I stay in a small village and once out the village there is no lights and a good set of lights are great but I find Xenon ok but obviously Led is far superior When these cars were new a good spec car would have been about £130k....with some cars getting up to £140k.

Do you really think the new 718 is worth the extra? I am swaying towards a newer one and one has come up but it has no Dual climate which I would really like . But dealer is willing to negotiate ( a little ) on price. But we are still talking £94K No nice ones yet under £67k though imo but then none are selling either.

If you travel along poorly lit roads I would definitely look for a car with LED.

Our GTS macan has standard Xenon pdls lights, our 991.2 4s has the upgraded LED lights. Led lights make a world of difference in my opinion. But I do have to wear glasses for driving ??

If I am lucky to spec one I will definitely go for a car with LED and if I can get one with LED then it is even better, thanks If you travel along poorly lit roads I would definitely look for a car with LED.

No nearly new low miles GT4s below £90k and the only 2 OPC cars at under £85k is a comfort still over list ££ and a 1 year old 3k miler in the ubiquitous black.av185 said:

I could not pay circa £95k on the 718, it's not worth it. def be looking at the £85k market and you will find these will hold more money in 3 years over the £100k cars today.
