Did have one few years back .
What a lot of seek in an R Man box buckets chrono pse spyder wheels alcantara int low mileage
But needed to sell for a work transport was needed at the time.
This time its the comfort version wanted pdk comfort seats chrono pse spyder wheels any more is a bonus average mileage in silver or peridot, these mega low milers are way over my budget and it will get used as a.more daily so pointless paying high price for a car that will drop in value putting miles on

I revently missed out on one jzm wasnt quick enough a Silver R pdk with what i wanted 34k on it 38k
So in the spec i want they do pop up for sensible money its the less desirable spec for most but suits my needs.
I will keep looking but if anyone needs to sell for any reason or needs a bigger car i have a really nice eyecatching Macan could benfit both partys

Cheers.

No mention of that in the WhatsApp group. I was going to message you direct on it but you are after comfort seats right?

Cheers thanks for the thought.
I did briefly chat to the owner on the R forum he was inteterested in a possible px with my Macan.
Unfortunatley being left outside and being a used
car just dont fancy red although nice for an occasional colour.
Silver my first choice doesnt attract as much attention widened my colour choice to Peridot maybe White if right car.
Again appreciate the thought.
I will keep searching

Outragous prices to 12 months ago trying to cash in before summers over when they will drop.
No6 is way to high for 55k on the clock.
The black ones more relistic at 44k price wise.
Glad iam not in the market for one.

Well, if you want that colour with all the must have options then go find another - nigh on impossible. Its pretty much PTS in all but name.

There isn’t another on sale but would be very shocked if someone paid £60k for it.

Bit of a stretch. It's a standard colour and it is, ultimately, silver. It's not a super special colour. Car has the plastic interior, too, which I'd say prevents it from being plausible priced at the very top of the market. If you're presenting an R as being an absolute top of the market example, it needs extended leather. Then there's the mileage.

It's pretty obviously over priced. Of course, people occasionally pay well over market for something. If someone decides that a variation of silver that was a standard Porsche colour at the time is somehow worth £10-15k, that's up to them. But it's not how the market would generally value the car.

R fluffery in the first part of the vid.
For those visiting these pages who have not owned an R and are looking to do so this maybe useful for you.

Thanks for sharing. At c.6:39 he implies the car has PASM but i thought the 987R never had PASM as an option ?

I do miss my Cayman R, but love the manual S that replaced it!
