I think that's been due in for a while (might be confusing with another ad?)Not even the right wheels on that.
They say full leather and it isn't.
No buckets.
etc.
I expect it will be priced to the moon!
This one just pinged my Autotrader alerts

Manual and Buckets in the description.... yours for £45k, now that is taking the piss considering it created quite a heated debate about a 981 GTS with a fully loaded spec was worth it for 3k more.

Happy to confess I absolutely jumped on the Cameron car. Cue great apprehension and excitement when the car went up on AT - sent an email and made sure I was their first caller on Thursday morning. Would I FINALLY get there first?
Dropped a deposit and went to see the car today and it’s in good nick. Research shows Cameron have a good rep, 6 months no quibble warranty and they’ve looked after the car for the last few years. Apparently 2 other genuine enquiries within 24 hours...
Clearly the previous poster feels i’ve overpaid but I’ve been looking for ages and life’s too short.
It’s the car I want in the right spec
How much more is any other desirable Porsche option - for me £65k ish + (981 GT4 / 718 4.0 / 997.1 GT3 etc)
I’ve been scouring the web for ages and after missing a few owners have let me know what value they achieved
Would’ve bought the 1500 miler and was gutted when missed yet another nice one..
Missed a couple of other cars over the last 6 months
Need I go on... (and all my prerogative of course!)
Didn’t get a discount. Reckon it’s worth £42/43 easy given what other cars have gone for with higher miles and/or less spec, so maybe payed a small premium (maybe not - let’s see how the market goes) but haven’t spent much in the last year on anything and people out there paying £3/4k for a puppy lol!!

Congrats Rich, a lovely well specced (and rare spec) car. It's ok saying it's overpriced, but it's the first one I've seen with the big items (manual, PSE, buckets, low mileage) for over a year.
If I'd still been in the market, I'd have been on the phone very quickly.
Best of luck with it, enjoy!
Now get some pics up...

Well done Rich.
They are the perfect road car... especially with a few small tweaks...I'll lead you astray.
They get alot more attention than their price point deserves. I think they bridge the gap between the old and new Porsche. Smallish and nimble.
Took mine for MOT test today here in NI. When the (female) tester had finished she drove it around the front and four of the other MOT testers came out to see it off. I gave her the beans in the car park on the way out. New engine map was popping n' banging

welcome to the club, nice purchaseI thought it was on the money to be honest ! as the old saying go's find another....................
you'll love it there fantastic cars
One thing I find interesting about the R market is why some sellers still sell through dealers. Part-ex is what it is but surely you're still better off going to a dealer with a wade of cash (maybe I'm old fashioned).
If ever there was a car that's an easy sell, it's a white manual R with buckets.
I guess some owners don't want any hassle and/or don't frequent threads likes this so don' know about the queue of serious buyers out there.

Even though buying private with finance is pretty easy and the finance company takes the risk transferring cash to vendor even before u pick it up, I think most don’t know how it works properly or the buyers can’t convey it properly so the dealers route seems easier and less hassle. If the difference is 1-2 k and dealing with dreamers also, just easier to take the hit and move on.
Thanks for all the positive replies - need to arrange collection etc. and then enjoy after tax year end when work commitments in theory relax a little!
Might actually see if I can get it delivered as by the time I add fuel in 3 x journey legs from home to Cameron doubt there’d be much in it and having already seen the car and with the warranty anyway etc. it might make sense... (Oh and could probably mean i’d be able to get it sooner!)

Now I've had mine out a few times in good weather 'crowds' they really do get alot of attention....even from owners of other Porsches.
I've had a few £100k+ yokes come racing up behind me then sitting there for a minute checking her out. Most around here barely know what a Cayman is let alone an R

Out of interest, where are you/the car based Rich?
