The car now at Romans ?
No, mine is in my garage... not for sale... really happy with it! Would never trade it for 55k, its list price was more than 81k. It is one of the most specced among the 135 built IMO.If I get a slot on the new gt4 or spyder AND if they are NA then I might switch.

The car at Romans is the highest spec I have ever seen and £59k so that's what they are worth now I guess, it really does have every thing and more it seems. shame there is no list price on that car as it must have ben £££ you have a higher spec than this, cannot see how lol If I get a slot on the new gt4 or spyder AND if they are NA then I might switch.
I cannot spec cars like this at these prices when the GT4 was £64k plus options and you only ever need about £10k options or £15k if you want PCCB.
all personal but Options can go a bit far some times and it's lost money in a big way if you go over £10k worth. £55k seems a very strong offer imo looking at the Romans car.
makes cars like this a great 2nd hand buy though be interesting to see how long it's up for.

Agreed, it's the highest spec manual I've seen too. Shame it has a leather wheel and gearknob 
Re. pricing, at an OPC that car would be £65k+ so you have to remember there are 3 tiers for these cars, and using this car as an example:OPC ~ £65k
Independent specialist ~ £60k
Private sale ~ £55k
Obviously a large spread. and prices have been around this level for at least a year now. No real change.
Finally, as I said earlier in this thread, being a manual will lessen its price a little and desirability in the current market. If it was PDK I wouldn't think it would be on sale for long at all. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes to sell being a manual.
I think the whole car is a bit "grey" and not very exciting isn't it?
I briefly considered GT Silver for mine, with platinum wheels and silver GT interior kit, but discarded it as I thought it was WAAAY too monochrome. Carrara White Metallic was my final choice, especially as I'd always fancied a white Porsche from when I was a kid.

OPC GTS are £65k for very low miles 2016 cars the best 2014 OPC car is £54k Re. pricing, at an OPC that car would be £65k+ so you have to remember there are 3 tiers for these cars, and using this car as an example:OPC ~ £65k

this is an expensive car for a 2014 GTS, so you have to want the spec to pay £60k for it over a 2 year newer car with 1/2 the miles.
as it's not a GT car prices are age and miles related and OPC would not list a 2014 car at £65k

It's not that simple in my view. Most of the manuals coming to market don't seem to have the "correct" spec. The Romans one really catches attention I think so shouldn't hang around for long.

I sold my manual one last year. Twice in the end actually. Long story but the first time it "sold" in a day but the buyer went AWOL. It was remarketed and sold again within an hour. So as always the right spec car goes quickly.
On reflection, all this tells me is that I sold it too cheap!

"Correct" spec being X73 and buckets? Buckets weren't available from late 2015 onwards due to shortages so the choice of cars will be lower still with that spec. By the way, I don't think there is a "correct" spec for the GTS - there's a bum for every seat as they say!I refer to mine as a GTS Touring

I was being vague so as not to start that debate! I refer to mine as a GTS Touring
Again...

agreed this one at Roman is highly specced but for their pictures i can see that i have just few more on top of this one:I cannot spec cars like this at these prices when the GT4 was £64k plus options and you only ever need about £10k options or £15k if you want PCCB.

exterior pack gts,
turbo alloys painted in black,
steering column in leather,
door guards in lether,
sun visor in alcantara (ok this one could not really see on their pic )
but list price should be close, exterior gts pack is cheaper than individual paintings IMO.
i'd need to vin to decode its option but not going to bother them as i am not a buyer..
for 59k tho, it is a stunning car.
