Not a Porsche, but as a market indicator, was this cheap?

There is very little Price Discovery happening on any assets ATM.

Apart from Oil and that's going well...

At least Ashgoods are playing the game and first one out of the blocks.

I'm sure price was increased pre shutdown but not by that much...

Joke price for a 2012 car with that mileage and yellow on a C4S is very bad news.

Early £40ks tops.

Spike ?....seriously ?...

There will be the mother of all recessions, possibly leading to depression following this with massive unemployment and business liquidation. All asset classes will be hit, none more so than over leveraged automotive trinkets.

Regardless if lockdown is lifted, lack of confidence in the market will absolutely muller values across every brand, at a level we’ve not experienced since the 80’s.

Prices are holding firm at moment, as no point in dropping them. No one is buying...wait for the proverbial to hit the fan once we start to unlock.

Additionally, to be seen cutting about in a modern trinket during and immediately following this, is something personally I couldn’t be more uncomfortable with.

+2. The 80% funding from the govt is masking/delaying it all. Once the funding stops and unemployment goes through the roof (which it will and already has) the prestige car market is going to take a beating far worse than 2008.

Yes, it’s very sad and in truth it’s amazing how fragile everything is - as others have said, so much “stuff” is actually part paid for, or actually not owned at all as it’s “on loan” by large swathes of the population. Gearing is prolific in society now - it just needs a short inflow shock and everything unwinds.

This horrible situation will be really debilitating for so many people. Some who haven’t been lucky enough to build up any form of fiscal resilience whilst others are in the same position but have also been recklessly overspending.

I’m not judging anyone; it’s a mess - it’s scary how fragile the balance is.

Re flash cars - I think this is the least of our worries; can’t afford the payments, it goes back - so what; it’s peoples homes & health that matter.

Can’t tell you how wrong I hope I am about all of this, keep safe frown

(Just re read this - what a depressing post - put myself in a gloomy mood now - going for a drive to cheer myself up ....... oh hang on - bugger ! )

It’s a nice spec as a daily driver but the person that wants to daily drive that almost certainly wouldn’t want yellow.!

There's nothing wrong with yellow, not like boring grey, black or white which the dealers try to push customers towards.

Ashgood listed a 2000MY 996 Turbo, manual, 83k at £27k
According to their social media it's sold at £25k

Wasn't the going rate for that sort of thing £35k ish not too long ago?

Although I remember when they were £20k and should have bought one then cry

We own two brightly coloured Porsche’s but neither are daily drivers. It’s not what most buyers want...and I think the natural home for a car like that 4S is someone that wants to daily it.

Yes, I saw that too.
They are generally spot on with pricing and sometimes their prices are close to those of private sales.

The next stage to this is companies won't be receiving payments from their debtors. Even if their debtors are solvent, they will hoard the cash to try to survive themselves.

Early signs are it's happening already. Even if the worlds credit markets don't seize up (still not watertight yet by any means) a credit crunch still plays out in the real economy driven by peoples fear.
