after reading in Evo about Chris Harris's expenditure and the monthly costs to get into one his will be up for sale soon..., agree with the fact that the cars sell themselves but the adverts don't inspire confidence.

I'll have one for 245k - but I'm paying by Western Union and need the car shipped to a port in Somalia before I release funds.

EVO car of the year 2011 can't justify "double" the retail price

not when evo car of the year 2010 (3.8 RS) is available for less than 100k now

and evo car of the year 2007 (3.6 RS) is available for 60k now

etc etc

These cars will never trade at below list imo. It is a bit of a shame though that UK porsche dealers continue to sell these cars to speculators. I'd prefer to see these cars go to people who use them.

How does an OPC tell the difference between a speculator and and car user?

Also, how does an OPC incentivise its sales people to sell only to car users?

Service and ownership records.

Edit: and allocations based on previous models service records/owner records - they can track history of cars sold/serviced within OPC network so should be easy.

So true. How quickly we forget what happens to every top line limited run 911 - they do well for 12 months and then plummet. GT2s faster than most.

[ChrisW.]

Wot a bore ...

Porsche sell the cars to enthusiasts who are so enthusiastic, they think the car has PCGB's ...

Tragic.

i recall William Loughran selling a black gt3 for £108k in 1999.
my best mate bought a nigh on identical car 20k miles in 2005 for £54k.
