Well well, usual suspects talking up own agenda.

Trade on these is £110 - £115 for good spec manual cars.
odd that I got offered £119 trade then last week ! and that's for a buy out not even a SOR.

As always the spread is about £25k on a 991.2 GT3 atm depending on, age, spec and miles.
Yep I was offered list i.e. £131k by my OPC as an outright buy in August.

As we all know the Collecting cars auction Graphite blue 2017 car got into the £130ks around a month back.

RSVP posts confirm this market too he has sold and bought fairly recently 2 manual CS cars.

How difficult are these to sell private? I’m guessing not easy even if £120k for a high spec car would be still difficult to shift if private sale.

Corrosioninhibitor on here sold his car privately in the £130ks in a few days several weeks back.

There’s a top spec lava orange up for £118k so must be getting trade bids of £110k maybe even below?

What do you mean by top spec though?

Do you have a link?

Nearly 24k worry of extras on this one and a very rare colour for 991.2 gt3

This was up above 120k last week and now dropped to £118k, clearly dealers don’t think it’s worth £118k or it would of been sold into the trade.

Trade bids could easily be 10k below this asking price by the looks of it.

Looks a lovely car, I’m sure it will sell as it’s a great price compared to others.

It would appears the spread is getting smaller.

For the love of God, why why why do we need this thread? It’s been done to death!

We all know that GT3’s are great, but only if in a particular spec and a certain person on here will be so vocal about what’s right and wrong that it will make my sh!t! itch.

EvoSid, we’ve already concluded what the best car is for your requirements and it’s not a GT3 with or without buckets, nor is it a GTS. We also know that GT3’s are approx £50K more than a GT4.

Haha wonder why you didn't mention the high relative mileage.

3 owner 2017 car.

Even so, nice spec and agree a bargain at that price for sure assuming it is actually a c16 car as I thought Cheib had the only LO car in the UK.

A lava orange similar spec car has been sold recently twice, could well be the same car.

Like others say, it’s not unusual for these to have a few owners, especially in the first 3 years. Looks very very nice in lava orange, Cheib is a very lucky lad if his is also Lava Orange.

This won’t hang around long.

I definitely don’t....my OPC delivered one a few months before mine. It was seeing that one that convinced me to get my balls out of my handbag...

Although I don’t remember anyone else on PH ever having one so there can’t be many in the country if PH is a realistic sample size.

Hi C I just remembered I made a note from car colours uk that there were in fact 6 LO manual 991.2 GT3s and only 1 PDK S all registered in 2018 so on the basis that their total of c580 UK cars plus c40 odd Touring is correct which it appears to be these individual numbers are probably accurate.

Seems odd that car is a 2017 although it was a December reg.

If the orange car averaging 3.5k miles per year is classed as high then do owners just buy them to look at in the garage ?

I would guess the average mileage of a modern Porsche gt car for the first 5 years of its life is around 4k to 5k a year. If this ones only done 3.5k a year I would says it the opposite and low mileage for its age.

Nope your guess is wrong the average for a 991.2 GT3 is c2k p.a.

So you think over 11k miles is low mileage? jester

Think relatively.

Relatively its one of the highest mileage gen 2 GT3s for sale which broadly explains the low price.

We need a vote on average mileage !
