The white £38k/46k miles one is out near Newcastle, no budging from their asking price and they want to hold out for it. Fair, but after 10 weeks, they'll need some luck. It would have sold by now IMO if it was well priced.

i got pdls, and apart from them following the road, which is nice i suppose, i wouldnt not get a car if it didnt have them

Appreciate the feedback. We'll see about the 'megaspec' one in Newcastle now and if not working out £££ wise, I think I owe you a virtual pint. A great spot on this one.

That does look good, very good. There is another at £37,990, 46k miles, that's white with black wheels and every option under the sun bar Burmester and PCCB. Doubt I'll get them down to this kind of money even with it having been for sale for 10 weeks now.

How much of a miss would PDLS be?

No shot of the whole drivers right hand side seat, tellingly...

Ones up of it now. Don’t know why they bothered with the photos they had up originally.

Heated and cooled seats, carbon as well. Nice but yes a tad too old and high miles for what I am looking for. Even with those options it feels overpriced and if it’s been available that long the market agrees.  

I would agree the price is a bit strong, and that is why it's sitting. Either they're not for moving on price or it's a dog. I will find out with an email shortly, chance my arm and see where I get to. Well priced 981s turnover quickly as anyone who follows Ashgood's stocklist will see.

I’ve had one saved on AT for 8 weeks. Fundamentally great, loaded to the gills option wise but white with black wheels 🤮 at least the wheels can be sorted, and i could live with white. 

just whether the dealer will move price wise. 2012 car so of no interest to you @Stuno1 (I hope!)

There are a few examples already at 35k or under from dealers. Just means sacrificing one of the 3 main options. 
 

If dealers are selling at 35k ish I imagine they are buying at 30k ish. 
 

Just one example.

I like that a lot.

I see Ashgood has snapped up said high miler. Didn’t sit long, 3 days.

So, 20p per mile.  Bearing in mind the risk of expensive failures in any high-mileage car, that sounds like a reasonable deal.

When you do that man maths, it does actually. Definitely food for thought. The car you buy is the car you sell, high miler (at least at its current price) probably is the wrong route. Cheers for the opinions on it.

Excellent comment.

Yeah it was. There are ones that, for a daily I'd want no matter what (PASM, climate, heated seats) and there are nice to haves. A lot are the latter.

At 29k I think you can get better value for money elsewhere. The options that you will use and enjoy are the only ones that are important.

There is better value in terms of price:miles but a lot in the low to mid 30s seem to have, for what I am after, something I’m not keen on like the red interior, or no PASM. 

I’ll keep my eyes peeled and see what crops up over the next few months. Hopefully snag something over the winter when demand isn’t as high for a cabrio. Cheers for the input.

I wouldn't, just pay more upfront and you'll get it back but I don't see a big problem with it as the cars seem to be capable of high mileage.

However I'd expect a significant discount on market price for a car with 80k miles on it. Needs to be sub 27/28k really. You will always sell it on but the price has to reflect the miles otherwise why wouldn't you just spend more at the outset.

Undoubtedly prices will fall but I don't see them tumbling too far. Big gap price wise to the 718 4.0l and limited availability so these are the closest alternative.

It’s not far from that price bracket. Sitting at £29k. Spec list is impressive with heated and cooled seats, PASM, PSE, PTV, Sports Chrono, Sports Plus memory seats. It looks to have pretty much everything bar PCCB. It won’t take much figuring out which car it is on AT.

Higher mileage cars do tend to 'stick' at this price level. Whether that's justified or not dunno. There are some that have been for sale for ever.

 

The guy doing this video is a dork.

This is only up 3 days so no chance of any cheekier offers yet in line with daz05’s pricing. AT’s pricing tool has it just over £27k for a private buyer but it does have a lot of desirable options. 

There’s a very, very specified car for sale at the minute, but has over 80k miles on it. 
 

This is all going to be purely personal preference, but would a higher mileage car be trouble to sell on? If I kept it two to three years, it’d be around the 100k mark by the time I’m ‘done’. Problematic you think to shift? I don’t mind the miles but I am probably in the minority. 
 

For comparison 40k less miles, same spec, is £8k more.
 

The other thing I always have in the back of my mind is if new car supply goes back to normal our currently overheated market might see some savage depreciation.  

Looks like the car in the OP has had a price drop by £1k. Didn’t think this would sit too long with the current market.

I think the red manual 3.4 at Ashgoods has been sold now.

I did have a couple of low ball offers when my ad first went live but they wern't even worth considering.

Might stick mine on Collecting Cars.

This is the one I was thinking of, looks like the service history has been updated as some of the dates were a bit off in terms of years and the gaps https://www.ashgood.co.uk/vehicle-details/Used-Porsche-Boxster-24V-S-Pdk-For-Sale-U2567?cookies=accepted

CC isn’t a bad idea, might get a better reach than PistonHeads but it’s still niche next to autotrader.

These high values are purely theoretical.

I have had contact with 3 potential buyers so far, every single one has mentioned the rising market and doesn't want to get bitten if there is a rapid correction, it's putting buyers off big time.

The most I have been offered is 35k and my car is practically faultless.

No offers from any traders? What you were offered is in and around where I’m looking but good cars are few. Ashgood has a red one but service history looks odd on it.

Madness. Some people are going to get badly burned when the current feeding frenzy comes to an end. We know it’s coming. No one knows when. When it does hit things will change very quickly. No one wants to be holding something overvalued when the big correction hits 

Yep totally agree. I pushed my budget up a bit from where I was 6 months ago but would rather sit right than buy at the top. Realistically I’m in no big rush and things may cool slightly for convertibles as autumn and winter approaches, but that could be wishful thinking…

Sold mine today to the trade. Lost some confidence after the steering rack failed. Not uncommon it appears and not acceptable on a car with 15k. Still did very well largely as result of the inflated prices across the used xar market. Mine was for sale for some time one private enquiry everything else enquiry wise from traders. 
In my (recent!) experience you won’t sell a 981 for big money privately. People want the security and convenience of buying through a dealer. 
Quite chuffed I didn’t spaff £2k on PSE now as well!

It’s like I was saying to you on Facebook when you’d posted it and you’ve said in your own post, you were always going to struggle for any private buyers at that end of the market. A lot of people with a budget of what you had the car listed at are likely to be looking at some sort finance deal through a dealer. It was a small pool outside of traders.

53k for a seven year old car , wow 

Same price as it was 12k miles ago when Teesside had it for sale https://www.porscheteesside.co.uk/approved-pre-owned-cars/porsche-boxster-24v-s/4251492~~jct600~usedcarmodel~en

Your red one was the car I regret not going for last year. It was a great price then and with hindsight, an absolute steal. Still, always had COVID redundancy fear.
