It’s fabulous. But getting something else this month and can’t afford both. I know I’ll regret in the spring/summer would get more but needs must.
What a colossal waste of time that was then in ordering it from new.


So your GT4 wasn’t a keeper either tumbleweed

I've just past 2200 miles in mine and starting to explore its full capabilities. I thought the base 2.0 I had was pretty good but this one is on another level so based on that alone there's no way I'm selling regardless of values.

The bonus is that it's the only Porsche I've had that has prompted positive comments from random people at petrol stations and car parks, apart from the current Macan but that's usually about the colour (Voodoo Blue), so it's a happy car too - my happy car smile

If it’s at list and unregistered, somebody’s in for a cracking deal, judging by the market conditions and used prices.

They really do drive brilliantly. When you’re on it they are so agile and nimble and the noise is fantastic. I’m a manual guy, but the PDK suits the car better imo.

Anyone waiting for a 718 4 litre is in for a treat, but they already know that. The duality of the car is a bit of a surprise. Also the standard stereo isn’t that bad. It isn’t drowned out with the roof down at 70 and going up and down the gears.

It's inexplicable really.

Maybe some people are just crazy?

Can always spot a ‘flipper’……..chat about premiums, delivery estimates, how many cars are coming and ‘correct’ spec.
Yes...well said. You can see proof of that on here actually 981SPYGANG. I sat back and watched the comments for weeks and now I have the car I cannot think of any reason I would want to flip it other than ill health which god forbid! The problem as I see it is that the dealers do not to stop it because surprise surprise they benefit too.
Well said that man.
Personally I think it's out of order any PC selling any car over list just greedy.
Should be a law against it.

Well, my friend has taken delivery of his 25 and I got a half-hour drive this afternoon. Limited to 4000RPM to respect the running-in procedure, but all I can say is, what a car! I was blown away, it just feels so...right.

Here it is:

So the other half picked her 25 up this week and really doesnt like the look of the wheels (i have to agree to be honest) now i know they are a nod to the original design but i think im going to get another set to put on it. My question is will a set off GTS wheels fit it? Im thinking they should but just want to make sure before i get another set painted gold.

I would go for a set of HRE alloys. Expensive but they are lovely.
