great spec car, with the much wanted red stitching

https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2015-porsche-9...

so this will be the benchmark for the 981 GT4 price wise as it good miles and good spec.

I'll say £58,600 + fee's.

I posted this on Sunday when the car was first listed.

As it is a Scottish OPC supplied car and appears to have been used in Scotland always worth viewing before bidding and checking out for road rash and actual spec.

Wouldn't bid on it without seeing it anyway as its a Scottish car. Seem to recollect you also correctly referring to this point previously with other cars. 4 owners always a no no for me personally even on a 5 year old Porsche GT.

Looks decent spec despite no climate or chrono.

Assuming its mint has Nav digital radio phone prep and spp reckon c£60k plus fees but who knows in this crazy market.

Who takes 174 photo's of their car but can't be bothered to give it a quick wash first?

The interior and some of the door rubbers/inner sills look a bit scruffy to me.

The spec is really unclear, and the advert is wrong as it's listed as having climate.

Pretty basic spec if it has no climate, DAB, phone, SPP, auto wipers etc so that would need to be checked. It could only have buckets, red stitiching cruise and smokers pack! No idea about the larger fuel tank option either.

the options seem crap atm, a full gear set which keeps 2nd !!! pointless !! and AQ's final drive which IMO has gone TOO FAR the other way.
This is the problem with gearing... you really need a full set - including changing out 2 - but 1&2 are welded onto the mainshaft.
GT Gears has a full set solution... they work with a select number of specialist.

the thing is people will say black is white as they own the cars sadly :-( or are the ones it seems pottering about at 4k revs posing :-p
It's good more an more normal YOU tubers are getting to test these cars and saying WTF is wrong with this gearing though :-) as the main stream jurno's glossed over it for years.
I'm not saying that the car wouldn't be better, course it would... we have talked about it being difficult to get right, and you need to know what you are doing.

JCR will fix all these issues AT A PRICE and it will be stunning, but ATM it's £6k for the box and £10k for the engine for a 981 plus some Sus tweaks.
So not a cheap car, and of course the 718, in JCR spec with the 3 big mods(he is doing the gear set next) will be a £120k car but it will be amazing.
And I would take that over a GT3 if he nails the gearing issues, this car with BBS wheels and the CS wings looks the bomb imo and the mappers will get 450BHP form them soon enough.

Yep - i think this car is AMAZING.... perfect build actually.... Seeing what Jonny has done, has made the 718 GT4 grow on me a lot.
If i were to have a 718, I would build it pretty much just like that.... only maybe with steel brakes.... Callipers in black and some nice 2-piece rotors... PFC... to manage costs with track work.

That’s what I was noticing, looks a tad scruffy around the edges to me. A long way off what I’d expect a well kept GT4 to be. And 4 four owners, with some key spec absent will make foe a considered purchase.

blimy, looks ok to me, I said the 997 GT3 was tatty and got a right ribbing, and that was a bit tatty and people called it mint.

This looks ok, most cars for sale have dirty floor mat issues and dust every where, This one looked quite clean vs most for sale I thought.

As for scruffy "around the edges" bar the inside rear top shock cover on the left, where is this car "scruffy around the edges" ?

It's just not been washed well or hovered and the black st people put on the wheels has flung off.
But to me the car looks ok.
I agree I don't know why people don't clean their cars for sale but it looks an honest good condition car unless you can point out where it's Scruffy.

The pile/nap on the Alcantara is all over the place and looks very well used. The rubber door seals look like they have been stood on or removed and replaced. Scuff marks from shoes on the sills and door pockets.

Scruffy

Perhaps I'm more careful getting in and out of my cars having had leather inner door sills on a GT4 in the past.

Some people are hyper sensitive to wear and tear on seat bolsters, some people are sensitive to scuff marks. People are different. To me scuff marks indicate an owner that could have been more careful and present a negative first impression of a car.

When I look for used, it has to be mechanically sound. As for the looks, I don’t mind a bit of wear. This can of course be sorted out if needed.
