2020 10k miles, Guards red, PCCB, buckets, nice options (reversing camera, some carbon and climate) and under £83k at an official Porsche network.

Starting to look very tempting.
Looks expensive to me!
Why’s that?

This, along with a lot of others has been hanging around for a while now. The market has certainly slowed down.

It would be quite incredible if the sports car market hadn't slowed down the week before Christmas. hehe

Even if that 20 20 plate red GT4 with 10k miles has high relative mileage and twice the average GT4 mileage for its age together with a high 3 owners it still looks a Christmas bargain particularly if you want ceramics.

Price adequately reflects three owners and the relatively high mileage and little market value ££ attributable to the overpriced ceramic brake option on new GT4s.

It’s a 2020 manual car, with 10k miles and a few owners in a basic free colour and the ceramics would put me off due to their replacement cost if damaged.

Imo no value having ceramics on a gt4.

If the garage owns it I bet they wouldn’t have even given 70k trade for it.

My point is there are lower mileage cars available!

10k is nothing in terms of miles imo.

Mine's just ticked over 12k and it's better than ever.

Don't save them for the next owner, enjoy them now otherwise you'll kick yourself when they're gone.

Get the feeling certain posters are just trying to talk the price down. Stay calm spring is coming and drive a car you can afford and enjoy. The rest is white noise…

You do realise conversations on an internet forum won’t make a slight bit of difference to selling prices of a car, don’t you?

The market and economic climate will dictate that. Winter is a crap time to sell a car, that’s not in doubt, however, on top of that, the world is in economic meltdown and the free/cheap money train has long gone.

I don’t think the market will crash for GT cars, but I do feel it’ll soften, it already is.

Thought I’d revive this thread as I’ve just bought a speed yellow 981 GT4 CS.
(I read all 91 pages of the thread over Christmas in preparation!).
I’ve been driving various Lotus Elises, Exiges (inc 410 V6) and a 420R Caterham over the last 15 years and this is my first Porsche, so I’m excited to compare them to the GT4.

Only had a short drive today after it arrived (in between work and school runs) but flippin heck, initial impressions were excellent.
Very much looking forward to more time behind the wheel and getting to know the car.

I've had my white 981 GT4 CS for about 4 1/2 years now. Intent was to keep it for a very long time. That hasn't changed, I love it as much now as the day I got it.

Congratulations, I hope you have as much fun with yours as I have had with mine. Only thing I could possibly resent is the fuel consumption. But then I turn the exhaust to "loud" and let it run up through the revs in a couple of gears and realise it's really not that much of an issue.

Went out in it for 2 hrs today with a friend in his 997.1 GT3 and well, it’s pretty bloody spectacular.
Handling feels bang on, engine is strong and it sounds bloody lovely.
Only one small issue though, brakes feel a bit wooden, are RS29 pads still the go to for steel discs? Any recommendations for where to get some at a decent price?
Otherwise, what a thing…

Glad you found one, they are rather special, especially in that colour.

Looks great Bandit. Would be interested to hear your thoughts compared to your Exige and 420r. Must admit I much prefer my 410 to my gt4. I’d love to try a 420R but I picked the Exige as it’s just that little bit more practical and I can use it.

Nice one. Glad you’re getting used to it. The 981 GT4 really are fun and sound alive out of the box.

For brakes… RS29 work well for steels yep. You do need to get into the pedal to get the real feel.

Race Yellow was the launch colour and a standard colour .... Porsche tend to choose carefully !
