Wasn't a silver car by any chance ?

I had one a few years back
The Manthey 996? It was a black 3.9 engine-lots of modifications... Cup car dampers and aero etc

Clearly not my old car :-)

Looks awesome although I'm now out the other side of owning hardcore GT cars . Too old !

The cars or the driver?! To be honest, as much as I absolutely loved tinkering with the old thing, my reason for moving into a modern GT4 is the ability to run a warranty and not spend the winter months in the garage pulling things to pieces.

Yes I know, this winter I’ll miss it biggrin

Definitely the driver !

Loved my time with them but have now opted for a PDK GTS boxster .
Far easier for everyday life and no longer do track days.

Time to book the first 2 year minor service for my MY23 GT4. Time flies quickly, anyone had a recent service and can let me know the cost. Much appreciated in advance

My 718 Spyder's was £1,188 at West London. Suspect you may find it a bit cheaper at other dealers especially if you shop around

I do wonder what they do as part of the 1st year service, I had an oil change only done on mine at my local OPC on its 1st birthday (2 year intervals feel wrong) and it was £450...

I discovered after my Spyder's 4 year service (so second, bigger one) that they don't even change the air filters. Car had only done just over 4k, and they didn't charge me for them - but I still thought they would have been changed

Looking to purchase Porsche Assistance for my GT4.

Is there a variance in pricing depending on where you purchase it from? Or is it just one fixed price?

£196 is the price I've been given for 12 months

Just a fixed price across the board

Had my 4.0 GTS done last month. £1080 then take off 10% for PCGB membership. The 10% came off the whole bill, not just parts, but worth asking when booking as some places seemed to be making it up as they went along.

Given that it costs £75/year it is worth joining PCGB just for the discount on the service.

Prices varied from £1270 to the above £1080 at the OPC's I contacted.

Coming up to 2yrs since I got mine so thought I'd have a look at what prices are doing - they've definitely stabilised, a 2020 car with the same spec and mileage as when I bought it seem to be up for £1-2k more than what I paid for it in 2023.

Also the Motorway price today for this Red one that sold in Jan 2024 is around £2-3k higher now at £64k than it was back in Jan 2024, I know because I checked it back then.

Prices have definitely firmed up or even risen recently compared to 2023.

I saw that car sell .
You bought an absolute cracker there for not a lot of money .

Manual too IIRC and something like 10k miles ?

I see 981 GT4's selling for early to mid 50's now so that still puts your car at what you paid cheap.

I'm glad you love it .

Nah I didn't buy that one! Was a great buy whoever got it. Just remembered the car and the WBAC price so thought it made for an easy comparison.

Ah Apols thought this was yours .

Been wondering if it's worth at some stage moving from my 981 BGTS PDK into a 718 4.0 GTS.

Have done the GT cars a good few times over and not sure I need the faff of the Spyder roof plus, the 718 GTS cars get rave reviews by the likes of Metcalf and Sutcliffe
