That's smart and satin PPF works really well with the colour imho.

£95k MY23 GT4 only 55 miles, Clubsport, buckets, ceramics , LED’s plus about every option available

Wow, they've thrown the kitchen sink at that! What would the rrp have been?

I reckon it would of been about £115k new OTR based on what i paid for my MY23

[Simon-Blue]

I would agree, we have picked up a Sep 2023 GT4, heavy spec, buckets, clubsport and only have 1400 miles! I have fallen in love and even my wife says drives better than our old 2020 992.1 C2S (which we specced and didn't hold back).

Loving the buttons, switches and more analogue look and feel.

125-130k in todays money

[Augustash]

OPC last of the new 4.0 GTS Caymans are over £90k

Agree like for like in today’s money with 2 years of new car price increases easily £125k

It’s so close to RS pricing!

[Augustash]

Looking at the remaining new cars on OPC the GTS highest price is £95k and range is around £90k and GT4RS highest is £166k and range is around £155k

The mid point of the two is circa £120k plus OTR costs so feels about right for a good spec but as the GT4 hadn’t been produced for over 2 years we will never know

What’s for sure is the car up for sale for £95k with 55 miles is a fabulous spec car

[PRO5T]

Keep pumping up those tyres August

In all seriousness, I’ve been saying for a while that a 718 GT4 will hold its value for the next few years as Porsche simply haven’t made anything to replace it and won’t for a good while yet.


There are plenty of people who want to spend that sort of money on a Porsche and for them the only option is a second hand GT4.

The real bargain at the moment is a lightly used Spyder RS, one of those at circa £125k is unreal VFM.

there's a massive amount of 4RS's and spyders at £120k. God knows what they're selling at though.

Even more of a bargain are one of the 3 new ones on autotrader under £130k! Perhaps even more not advertised.

if its £120k at a dealer, they must be bidding £20k less?

That would look 10x better without the satin ppf

After 3 yrs, my 718 GT4 journey is coming to a totally unexpected and abrupt end

After what can only be described as a "farcical and calamitous" 4mths with Porsche GB, Porsche Financial Services, and my local OPC, I'm now going through at the total rejection and refund process of my car with the original supplying dealer (who incidentally have been amazing!).

As some of you may remember, I specced the car myself in 2021 and took delivery in 2022. So I've owned it from new, where it's been used but also totally babied and respected as a GT car can be.

But, I found out last Friday from Reading HQ that due to an engine manufacturing problem from new, the fault it started throwing up in May/June (which my local OPC unsuccessfully claimed to have fixed on no less than 4 separate occasions, resulting in the car needing to being taken to Reading for them to diagnose) actually means it needs a whole new engine, after only 3k miles of use!

Not a great end, and my faith in Porsche and the brand is in tatters after the disgusting experience I've had (outside of my supplying dealer).

[PRO5T]

Pretty unusual to have a faulty engine on these though-bad luck can and does happen.

[GT4P]

Wasn’t there a manufacturer stop build and recall on these round about that time. I know there was a lot of noise because owners in States were getting new engines whereas over here owners were offered “rebuilt “ engines which if I was owner wouldn’t be happy with.
With regards to getting a new engine that is not such a bad thing as back in 2007 my engine let go in my 986s which I had from new at 13k due to IMS failure but the new engine fitted seemed better and pulled stronger.
But I will say not using these cars enough does have a detrimental effect on the engine. That’s why I bought a car that I can use every day GR Yaris and it’s done nearly 3k miles in 3 months, it gives me all the Porsche fun down a B road without the downsides of Porsche ownership.

I am using as a stepping to to a 992.2 Turbo (non-S) or maybe a GT3, name down for both, but......... I am totally loving this GT4. The only thing I would change is the Xenon headlights - the Blacked out LED's would be much better, everything else is how I would have specced.

Do you mind me asking what sort of symptoms did your car show?

Thanks
