2015 with 11000 miles for £55k ( https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202305167...)
2016 with 9000 miles for £59k ( https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202304276...)
2016 with 38000 miles for £66k ( https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202305107...)

The yellow one has ceramics so maybe that would be considered a rare or desirable option, but the white one for £66k is nuts. Is that some unicorn example I'm not recognising?

The above are all OPC, so the expected premium exists there, but even that private seller Carmine red example that had the newer 718 steering wheel and had been thoroughly detailed was up for £60k initially, and whilst it dropped a few grand it eventually sold.

Meanwhile, Motorway and WBAC are offering £38-£40k for my 2015 GTS PDK with 28,000 miles laugh

The realistic prices of these cars seems quite hard to judge.

Think I’d be opting for the much newer improved GTS 4, for that budget, rather than a 7+ year old with the early epas steering. E.g:

True, that 718 is a manual though. The PDKs seem to command a much higher premium.

As they're all OPC advertised, maybe it's just the OPCs creating a new normal and forcing everyone to adjust biggrin. I bought mine about 18 months ago for £52k, and in terms of retail price, I'd still be looking at spending that now to get a comparable one.

that 66k one must be a typo?
