That sent me off looking at the Porsche AUC site. Are people really paying £170k for a 992 GTS ?!?! That is just utter madness 20 Turbo S’s to choose from though….which is maybe not a surprise as according to howmanyleft Porsche have managed to import 500 of them. Clearly Turbo S not impacted by the chip shortage….4 992s.

My only hope is that the GR86 turns up before the end of the summer, because the 992 will probably be next summer.

Most of the ones I've looked at have extended Porsche warranty and a priced under what's at OPCs

May be a case of prioritising limited supply in favour of producing higher margin product. Turbo S is probably a particular money spinner. £30k-odd more expensive than a GT3 (make that £43k for the Turbos S cab) and probably cheaper to make.I've just collected my 8k mile 991.2 GT3, CS, PCCB, Bose, lift etc. from Porsche Cardiff; all wrapped in a rather fetching shade of yellow 
Paid a fair whack, but v happy. It goes like stink!
Four new tyres, a new full service and 2-year warranty mean no additional costs for a while.
I missed out on a few by simply not being quick enough. Pretty much everything is being snapped up.
Now to decide what to do with the GT4 order later in the year.

Just received a notification telling me that another car I was watching has also sold.
More miles and £2.5k more than I paid.

Porsche production last year was actually at a new record…for some reason they throttled UK production at the expense of other markets. Q1 this year 40% more cars have been delivered by OPC’s in the UK. So back above pre Covid levels if that continues.
Optimistic! I don’t think admitting to the car probably being the hardest driven example out there will add any value…

Yes. I understand that the press cars get exceptional treatment but even so...https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202205075...

Think it was 130k last week, I'd never buy a press car but I guess maybe a collector would but then surely the mileage will put a lot of collectors off.https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202205075...
I'd far rather buy a well cared for and not track abused example, I know that is hard with a GT3 but on a press car I'd really be wanting new ceramic disc and pads all round, potentially dampers too because 20k of press miles will be like 40-60k of what the average user would do.
I know cars that are tracked is not necessarily a bad thing if the upkeep is spot on and I am sure that is the case here, but when you can get into a 991.2 GT3 for 15-20k more you'd really not consider this.
991.1 GT3 should be 95-115k, based on mileage and spec. Maybe 120k if it had every option but sub 10k miles.
Dads just bought a 991.2 PDK GT3 10K miles, Clubsport, 918 buckets, ceramics, racing yellow, front axle lift, basically the spec you’d want (after some advice from me 
), at the time of looking it was the only one in that spec. £145k. I think a fair price for how the market is, and interesting the other cars were really lacking the options you’d want.
I’ll buy it off him in a year or twos time

Could be wrong as their 10k mile car in that spec was up for 152500
Funny you should say that, this one was originally delivered to Cardiff. Looks like it’s had a very easy early life, about half of its miles done over the last year. New cup 2s all round too.
My only concern was that the PCCBs were 30% worn, but I expect by the time I get my hands on it they’ll be 31% worn and I’ll stick a set of ST discs on it.
