RBD914 v2 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Saw this in the OPC Silverstone today when picking up my 981S. Very nice it looked too - but crikey, that price took my breath away!!! Not sure it's worth that kind of money...discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 PCCBs have red calipers now? How much was your 981 GTS, about 65k? That's a big hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowbos Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Wow that seems rather on the high side! I’m assuming it has every option on offer plus the kitchen sink? If I was looking to spend £80K on a car I don’t think it would be that one... as nice as it looks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenman Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Base price is £61k for the GTS so getting to 80 without Ceramics is going some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topbox Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 I tell myself if anyone has a spare 81000k knocking about they could blow on that particular car they wont enjoy it half as muck as many of us here enjoy our hard won cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnSyn Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Saw a kitted out rhodium silver one yesterday on the Porsche stand at Geneva, thought that looked really good. Its easy to get to +19k when specing new Porsches, even without ceramic brakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onedesi Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 At £80k I think a of a whole host of cars I would rather have (I can probably get all I want for £50k) so that price is just nuts to my mind. I guess whoever bought did so on some form of lease so the ticket price is by and large irrelevant as the owner feels they are just funding the monthly payments to own.

MIkeyv60 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 With a price of £62k in add GTS pack £3k paint £1600 PDK £2300,PDLS £1400 electric sports seats £2k .... its doesnt take long . The 718 did increase in price as i remember you could have got a 981 gts for the same price as 718s. I remember a few years back at a auto jumble haggling over some car bits, trying to to get the price down i said to the guy thats a bit expensive , his response was "dont buy it then", someone else will, and they obviously do.

The big but? If you did have the money would you buy an £80k car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBD914 v2 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 It's all relative to how much money you have in total surely? If I won multi millions on the Lotto I would have a fleet of cars, each of which would cost in excess of £80k. However in the real world, unless I were a business tycoon earning silly money, then no, £50k would be my limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly people earn/have more money they buy a bigger house even though a cheaper house does they same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very true Mike. In addition there is also the factor of doing something whilst you are still able to enjoy it! I know of a few people who have significant financial resources but are physically unable to use them where they would like, such as sports cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBD914 v2 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I said to the the salesman pointing at the red GTS "That looks nice, shame that its got two cylinders missing!" Funnily enough the guy manoeuvring the GTS said to me "Is this yours?" "No" I said pointing to my white 981S in the showroom. "Good he said, that's a far better car!"
