Liking the look of this at a very nice price too. Doubt it'll be around for very long. Proper car in a proper colour.

No affiliation of course

911V have a 16,000 miler in at £40,995? Other than that it does look very nice.

It's very nice but very overpriced, that would trade at £32k and retail at £38-£40k at a dealer screen price.
I'd pay £35k private tops with no warranty or comebacks.

Except of course if there's someone out there looking for a mint red one, then all bets are off. Who are these people that chime in knowing values like the back of their hand? Is it a visitation of the almighty?

Not a visitation and I don't make up the trade prices but that would trade at about £32k facts are facts.

Seems I was generous but I think these do trade slightly above book.

43k is alot for a 10 year old car with no warranty.
It,s been up for sale before, so imo it,s not going to sell fast at that price, it did not sell before.

Lets assume its a 'good car'. My view is that its at least circa £5k too strong as a private sale.

But hey, I'm not buying ...yet.

Looks even better in the photo's this time around compared to last time. It appeals to me as well in the fact that it doesn't seem to have been a total garage queen for the condition. An average of 3600 miles per year ? But obviously only service and MOT records will show how the milage was accumulated.

Beautiful car, well looked after, but agree with opinions that it is overpriced.

Nice looking example.

I would disagree with the opinions about £5k overpriced. Its worth whatever it is to the next buyer. If you wanted a nice GT3 early in the year, wanted red, are not penny conscious (nothing wrong if you are), and did not want to waste time hoping a red £37k private car is going to turn up this side of june, then you may bite.

Having said that it is certainly strong money and after inspection I would expect it to need nada. Assuming it needed something then negotiate downwards from there. It's only just come up! There is always a negotiation margin. I do not expect it to go for the asking price.

To those who think it should be up for £37k and then think they can negotiate it down to £35k are dreaming (assuming its a good car of course) - unless it's a desperate or inexperienced seller.

I sold one last year and had the usual potential buyers that turn up this time of year on the forums suggesting it was £5k over priced. I got within £1k of asking price. It's a small market and other factors affect price than just dealer/private spreads.

Well said that man above Agree 100%
The people talking them down are really people only dreaming of owning a perfect example for cheap money.No such thing as a cheap perfect Porsche.
Only a matter of time before they go up grab a good un while you can.

I for one am not talking them down, but if the current trade value is one price and the seller puts it up for way above a dealer retail price then one is allowed to mention that it seems overpriced compared to others that are for sale.

To be fair the best people to answer this question would be dealers and what they would be prepared to pay, i bet a lot of people would wince at the price it would get offered from a dealer.
