Extended leather, best seats, red stitching and belts, cruise but no nav or crono. My only concern would be over-revs so get that checked and if all else adds up go for it, it’s a decent price for what it is. Would have been £70k list.

I've spoken to the dealer selling that car, no nav, dab, or Chrono. I'd want DAB and Chrono. FPSH, Registered Dec 2015. I was tempted but for not much more you can get someone with lower mileage.

I've seen the Solihull one dropped by 2K, and the Bournemouth one dropped by 3 or 4K. Alot sitting around, deffo thinking I should wait until next year and just keep the GTS for now. On the other hand been offered a great trade in on the GTS!

Lack of DAB is an issue but chrono adds nothing in terms of throttle response or slip angles in a GT4 unlike other Porsches. The only thing it offers is connectivity to the Track Precision app thingy afaik.

No nav and dab is a killer on that car.

Thickish mileage too.

Could well lose a further £7k between now and November.

lol another 7k in 2 months

Dab makes no odds to price, I did not spec it no ones ever asked when selling.

PCM is crap on the older cars, it was outdated before it was even launched so now they are falling into drivers hands I don't think they care.

the 991.2 cars with the new nav is at last a step up.

if one can save £5k not having NAV that's a win imo for the buyer.

Not sure, I checked and Chrono is £1200 retro. Add that, and if you can retro DAB and your at 75K, around this price you can get one with half the mileage and with DAB, Chrono.

Id be tempted if this car was cheaper, as I would want to retro DAB and Chrono.

Its had 3 owners also, but im guessing its quite normal in GT4s?

DAB isn't possible from an OPC as it's not listed on the Tequipment options. You could fit a non-Porsche head unit though, although that ruins any warranty possibilities.

I'm in the market for a GT4 as the Nissan GTR eats consumables when used on the track.

Skimming through this thread, it looks like the must have options are the 918 buckets, nav & dab. Anything else?

For track... Buckets are good...either option - Sports Buckets or 918 Fixed back, and then your choice of Steel or PCCB for brakes although as you mention consumables.. Steels will be most cost effective. I'd suggest ensuring A/C whether regular or Climate Control - is a personal choice.Thats all you really NEED for Track.

NAV and DAB, deviated stitching, Extended leather, Smokers Package, etc... are all periphery and don't change the driving experience.
They do make for a nicer environment when using the car on the road though...

No.

Several early Carrera Ts were incorrectly specced without DAB after mistakes on the configurator and evidently a number of owners received new cars.

Fairly basic spec.

3 owners but 3k miles.

Again no dab, nav or chrono.

'Manuel' aircon no climate.

Placcy dashboard and doors no extended leather and standard platinum seat etc stitching.

£70k would be enough to pay imo especially as autumn approaches.
