still looking for a well spec'd pdk carmine GTS...anyone ??

Love Carmine red. I’m changing my car this summer and a 981 Boxster in CR would be top of the list.

I think JZM have got one. It was in the showroom a couple of weeks back and looked stunning. Think it was about £58k.

Porsche East London currently have a Boxster GTS in showroom specced to £83k ...that to me is insane

I saw one specced to £80k last week and had a similar reaction!

Thing is they know come over the summer there will be limited supply because of the factory shutdown and someone will buy them

Yep, especially for a car that sounds like its engine is broken...

Exactly what I picked up at the weekend

Agreed, as long as it's PDK. Manual cars seem to hang around quite a while unless they're cheap or specced as a poor man's GT4 with buckets/manual/X73 suspension.

I was thinking "nice car, shame it's auto".

Manual gearbox lovers are by far the minority when it comes to cars these days. Most of us probably frequent PH!

A fantastic manual gearbox is the best thing ever, until you hit a heavy traffic jam and have to start stop constantly.

The trick is to not drive them in heavy traffic

I see signs that the bubble is deflating. Not a full on pop.

[Twinfan]

Yep, same here. A slight shift towards normality.

where from ? - by any chance reading ?

the JZM car is a 4 owner car...

the RPM car has leather interior..

preferably fewer owners and the GTS has to have the GTS interior pack with the alcantara...

Tick. And the exterior pack - tick.

try finding one...

[jonttt]

I just have to look out the window, almost as rare an option as the dual climate lol

To me the exterior GTS pack was a big bang for the buck but not many cars had it specced...

Exterior pack is just black gloss paint on the plastic parts - easily added to your car if you must have it.

I thought it was too shiny and looked out of place with satin platinum wheels so I didn't spec it. It's also prone to stone chips on the front splitter/bumper inserts/air intakes along with scrapes on the splitter.

[jonttt]

No stone chips on mine and for a relatively little optional extra cost really makes the GTS specific features stand out. I had the chance to compare mine to two other GTS’s without it at a car show last year and it really made a difference. It was actually on my “must have” list just as much as the GTS interior pack.
There are a lot more “bits” to it than you first realise including roll over hoops, side mirrors, etc....
