I kept this quiet as I was trying to motivate a friend to buy it, but he has bottled it.

I don't think it's the beginning of price drops for the GT4, but there is a GT Silver Clubsport, extended leather, PCM, dual climate, full Topaz film protection etc that is for sale for less than £90k. Don't think it's on PH, so you can figure that bit out.

The catch - which is not for me - is the 4k miles on the clock.

Hope this finds a true enthusiast.

Looks rather like my car that I had sold 2 weeks ago at 3950 miles. Bit disappointed it went to a trader rather than a private individual as I had thought at the time. Still it's what it is.

He said honestly that he drove it a few hundred miles, so yes, it sounds exactly like yours.

Did you do V5 doc to new owner or did you fill out trade section - that's how you can tell who you are selling to.

Of course, he may have intended to keep it as they don't sell these type of cars - the lower end Boxters is what they tend to sell.
V5 I left to the buyer which i did think a bit odd, that's probably why he offered to sort it i suppose....

List was £~78.5k, ppf (full wrap) was around £4k i think, the receipt of the ppf was in the paperwork with the car anyway!

Sigh. £72k for heavily optioned clubsport package car?

Like I said, if anyone was looking to buy a car rather than heckle I think it's worth looking at. Basic reference point
ok then £74k list ! put it this way it's NOT a car at a tad over list or heavily optioned ! NO Carbon, NO PDSL, no exclusive parts etc but clubsport pack and then CS pack but no Sports crono lap timer ! (I would say CS pack needs Crono, goes hand in hand for track)
In fact it only got about 5 options on it !

you stated "Porsche GT4 for not much over list" it's well over list ! and on Piston heads for sale section so hardly under the radar !

It's a great car and a nice spec, just not quite list and heavily optioned as you think :-/

Why sell - lovely spec and lovely car (if you don't mind me asking).

PS I'm biased - have almost same spec.
Nice car especially on track where it was really good but wasn't quite enough for me on the road as I thought it would be a mid engine 7gt3. The plus side is that it's convinced me to break out the 7.2 RS and just drive it wink

Look above. it's not 74k list. You might however be able to tell people what the car costs better than me despite not being the original owner.

Don't stop Demon from trying to start a fight out of nothing as usual; clearly hasn't had his happy pills yet today.

Still well over list (ppf isn't a factor), ~£12k premium, though of course not the case as isaldiri owned it and it is still cheaper than most for clubsport.

isaldiri - interested to know why you didn't complete the V5C document? I'd be terrified of not doing this and ending up with countless speeding tickets!

Presuming he notified the DVLA on-line as soon as the car was sold he wouldn't be responsible for anything like that.

I spent a lot on detailing and ceramic coating, so this would be a factor for me personally, and some may not want it for the cost, but at least it represents good value.
I just meant in terms of "not much over list", as obviously PPF is a third-party extra. I'd certainly be interested in a PPF'd car when purchasing, but not if I was paying for it; not worth thousands over a good quality ceramic glass/hard coat.

people will say black is white on options, but we can all see what the car has, adding £4k PPF is not an option and does not count as list FFS.

I stated "It's a great car and a nice spec" why not quote me on that rather than pick stupid fights

It's just not the list price and heavy spec car the OP stated !

Now we find it's a flipped car which was bought at list from isaldiri and traded on at a profit, which is a bit of a shame !

so it has 5 or 6 options lol, you can say it's a heavy spec car if you wish, but when you have people spending £85k plus oem on a GT4 (plus PPF) that's what I call a heavy spec car.

As I say it's a nice spec, but as WE AS A FORUM can see it's not close to the list price you state, and at £12k over list that's quite nice for the flipper !! plus it's not heavy spec lol so we will have to agree to disagree on what one classes as heavy spec.

I think it's a shame the org owner sold it in good faith at list and it gets flipped straight away for £12k more ! (which in your eyes is close to list price, again how close is close we will have to disagree on)

Anyone on here actually interested in buying a GT4?

I think it is worth PM'ing original owner who has very good insights that may help a purchase. In case others misinterpret; I simply mean he used to own the car and sold it so knows a lot about it. Nothing wrong with it.
are you on a % claim lol

Odd thread. You are trying to inform us of a great deal via your 'mate', yet it transpires your 'mate' is a trader.

Are you really helping us out here, or just attempting to slyly advertise the car?

I suppose to answer that question, what is the price difference between what your 'mate' just paid for it, and is now selling it for? If it's less, then the karma gods will reward you. If not, shall we end the thread here?

you're mate can buy mine at close to list , it's £90k if that helps him get one at close to list ! . It has PDSL, exclusive bits, Carbon dash and centre consol also ;-)
Along with 918 buckets, PCM, cruise, leather, yellow belts, yellow stitching, duel climate,Blue tooth. Alcantara Porsche crests etc

So you might even say it's heavy on spec ;-) less miles also and PPF, a proper geo setup ,toe links, shims etc which cost £650.

going by your ideas it's less than list with that lot, a bargin :-) £90k he can pick it up this weekend.

Given that my original spec (PDLS, LWB, Cruise, Dual Climate, 918 buckets, Sports Chrono, Leather, Yellow contrast, 12 O'clock mark, DAB, Phone Module) came to just shy of 76k, either your calculator is broken or you paid 14k for a bit of carbon, a Porsche crest, some cling film and £650 worth of geo setup.

Also I'd say it is a pretty heavy spec, given that most of the big ticket items (Club, LWB, PCM, premium paint) have been selected. I mean whats left? Sports Chrono?, illuminated door sills? and an endless list of carbon/alcantara/aluminium bits that are purely personal taste.

To some that's close to list price hence the post ;-)
