Used 718 - Discount for NOT having PU sprayed

[churchie2856]

I'm looking at a two year old 718 at a London OPC. Front PU has a few stone chips which have been touched in. Dealer even pointed these out on the walk around video in response to my earlier question "has th front been painted". He suggested if I didn't have paint, this could be taken off the price.

So what do you think a London OPC would pay for this work. (Assume bonnet and wings OK).

Previous searches on PH suggest in excess of £1K ... back about 6 years ago.

Retail wise it is £300 per panel. So 2 wings, bonnet and bumper = £1200.

I would think that if you are looking at long term residuals missing two cylinders would be more an issue than a bit of paint.

Usual nonsense. Currently being in the market for one I can confirm there are no cheap ones about as the supply chain is still carefully managed as usual by Porsche, so retained values are fairly solid although economics may see a weakening across the board later in the year.

Some cheaper 981s around now (mainly 2.7's) though they are getting older.
