Someone pls explain: 3+ yr old = 183 miles

Maybe not everyone's got that extra 20/30 k over list.
Nothing to do with feeling hard done by.
Lots of genuine enthusiasts who would love and cherish a car if they had the chance rather than making a £ or2.

That’s the whole point. My gut feel is that those that want to buy one at list only because it’s real value is in this example £30k more. Big because they don’t have the extra £30k or can’t find the extra £30k. They just want the free arbitrage.

I would buy any £100k car today if I could sell it tomorrow for £130k.

Would I buy a car at £130k knowing it’s worth £130k, not unless I really wanted it.

I agree with some comments here about newish cars being sold over list. Opc are just as guilty with almost new GT4 & Spyders sold over list prices.
I had my name down at 2 opc for a GT4 for over a year did I get one no.
Despite owning loads of Porsches and using them for servicing.
I want to buy a car at !ist like posts above mentioned not all of us are in the position to pay huge over lists and frankly why should we on a newish car.
A different story on old classics paying high prices but not what we are taking about.
Think it can be annoying to genuine enthusiasts who really want a car .

At least get back to list on newish so called limited models.

In 1997 I was looking to buy 986 or SLK. Both, Porsche and Merc. salesmen asked for extra to be payed to themselves, I said no, went to another dealership and bought an E280 that served me until 3 years ago when I scrapped it with 190k miles and rust all over.

Supply and demand leads to higher prices, you won't change it. See the Turbo Bentley of the late 90's early 2000's, people payed over the odds to get one.

Link doesn't work, as per usual Not a dig specifically at you rk , there just seems to be an "issue" on PH with people unable to successfully post links to approved used Porsches!

How do? It’s a private seller (so no commission) and it’s advertised at £77k.

Factor in the time value of money, financing / opportunity cost, options, insurance, VED, servicing, and advertised at <> sold at. Lost money.

I see, yes, absolutely. And then there is the intangible loss which is related to not having enjoyed such an amazing feat of engineering !
