I've got a GT4 clubsport at work at the moment cost 73k there are bargains out there at the moment.
Unfortunately those pesky Germans made to many of the bloody things so they will put a lot of pressure on the R as they are vastly better cars for the money.
The R market is there for all to see. Drive it or don't have the right spec/colour you can't get 35k for them. The one I bought was a unicorn spec and I paid 34k about 3 years ago. I'd really be very cautious spending 50k on an R. By cautious I mean drunk.

Thats no bargain for a 3 year old car , they were £64k plus options !
I bought one new that was a bargain.
Yeah but its the same old with these cars you'll never disclose how much you lost in the ponzi scheme to get on the list for a new one. The house always wins. For us plebs that won't get involved in the con the market is different. Ironically if I could get an allocation for a 3 or new 4 I'd happily sign a 3 year no flipping agreement which is what they should do if the OPCs weren't dependant on the ponzi scheme to make money. I'm pretty rare (as are you to give you very rare credit on PH) in that I would actually like to buy a GT car to own and drive not as some stupid in cahoot flipping scam that the OPCs all seem to be totally complicit in. I bought one new that was a bargain.
I really think this silly flipping game is nearing an end. Competition from McLaren and yes Lotus plus crazy high production numbers it's actually a bit of a risk to put a deposit down on a GT car today if you intend to flip I don't think that return is guaranteed today like it was previously and this has been born out in the very short half life on over prices for the 991.2 which has been a flash in the pan. 991.1 I personally would not spend over 100k on any 991.1 GT3 even of the highest spec and lowest mileage.

Imho you are doing welll to get any cash buy offers from dealers in the current market. CRs are prime SOR fodder as the prices can be a gamble
I have heard too many horror stories about SOR and looking at the accounts of some dealers they don’t have much of a financial covenant strength.

It's hard to evaluate really. My company is worth nothing on paper because it's all funded By a large directors loan from me.
The shop front operations with 20 grand in the bank yes avoid. Established specialists should be ok. Keep it insured and have a recommendation from someone else that has used the company for the same service.
