Why has this not sold?

Looks like a good car at a good price.

Curious why its still for sale.

I'll suggest as it's a private sale. Nothing much wrong otherwise, although 6 keepers will scare off the newbies.

It's got leather on the seats. Can't give them away these days if they have leather! Actually I like that car and watched it at OPC Swindon for a while. It's a nice car. If I didn't already have one..........then again, I don't need another one, do I?

Nice looking car, not really a fan of silver cars and three owners in 15 months will put people off as you've got to ask why two people within 90 days decide to let go of it. Of course there are many reasons that may be nothing to do with the car itself, but people may wonder if they might be thinking the same a few months down the line.

That looks a nice buy for someone - buckets, pccb, 18 months warranty. Not everyone likes silver, I think it's a great 'heritage' Porsche Motorsport colour for a GT3.

Just come back from an early morning run in mine... I'm sat here listening to it crackle & ping as it cools down

Because it's silver....

Is that 'GT Silver' ?

I was the previous owner (mar 13 to dec 13), I swapped it for a CS with a more appropriate spec for track work. No issues or concerns with the car at all. Obviously I can't speak for the current owner.

Its mine. There was a change of plan, the house we were going to buy fell through and with the next one I've got to sell a few things.

I thought it would have gone by now as well. Never mind, I'm enjoying it

Very small point, but I note it's a private sale, yet photos are clearly in an OPC (from last sale I presume?) - might put one or two people off who wonder why?

It looks a good car, number of owners may put some people off but the advert needs re-doing with new better pictures etc.

If this was at JZM or 911 Virgin at £65-70k it would be sold in a few days once thay added their inspection and worded an an advert correctly with some nice photos.

Have you thought about speaking to Tom at 911 Virgin or Russ or Rob at JZM regarding a SOR deal, I imagine they would move this pretty quickly.

I remember well an old IB 911S for sale for a couple of years, I was really interested in buying it. Whilst I was building up funds, I just couldn't understand why it hadn't sold in the meantime, especially as the price had dropped over the six months I was watching it.

When it came to the point I was ready to buy, the guy just wasn't interested in seling her. Found out it was the wife wanting it sold, as they had a small child, another on the way and needed an extention on the house because of.
He played along, even dropping the price just to show her he was trying.

Last I heard, he stil owned it. Maybe a little of that is happening here.

Interesting re:comments about the pics, I'll add a few personal ones Thx. I've got the summer to sell so rather enjoy it and sell it privately than have it sat on SOR with someone. Selling through a dealer is going to cost me another chunk of cash as well.

Speak to them, if they sell it for £68k SOR you might end up with more than you are asking for it now?

lol, Nope. Buying houses and cars is down to me generally, occasional sign off required.

Even if they get £65k and it sells then unless you use someone who charges extortionately (i.e. avoid HWM ) that should still be a lot better than it not selling at £59k (along with all the risk & hassle of dealing with a private sale at this kind of price range).

Exactly. I would think at this sort of money there's not too many people about with the stomach to do this sort of deal privately.
