Angelus666 Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Hi All, As I'm moving on to a GT3 I've listed my 981 GTS for sale on Pistonheads and Autotrader. The car has been really great, a phenomenal machine making an amazing sound, but life is short and I feel like getting into a GT3 whilst I'm still able to. I'll be getting into my new car within 2 weeks and I've been offered a really good trade value on it, so I'm asking a reasonable £46k for it, which makes it the cheapest one for sale. If you're in the market for one then move quickly or it'll be traded in and up for £50k+. The car has got 14 months of porsche warranty left, new Ps4S, new air con condensors and has the zunsport grills on it. If anyone needs finance facilities then I have a very good broker I can put you in touch with. https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/12463650 Thanks Nathan *I couldn't seem to post in the for sale section. Mods, presumably I need to have some more posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurassicBGTS Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 How I wish this has been for sale a month ago, I would have snapped it up😍😍! Looks beautiful, GLWTS👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withy Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 That's a lovely looking car.. and Porsche warranty too! Someone will be pleased when the snap it up. Good luck with the sale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus666 Posted October 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Yep, it's a beauty....been a brilliant car, so many positive comments and response from all sorts of people. All the little bits on the GTS add up to a really fantastic car. I'm pretty sure my missus is going to drive me crazy/kill me when this is gone and we have a car with scaffolding in the back and plastic windows as a replacement 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurassicBGTS Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 I would have thought you could ask more in the current GTS hypermarket! Have you had offers from some of the specialist dealers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus666 Posted October 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 My first inclination was to just trade it, but I’d rather it go to someone else who’d love it and I’ll get £1500 more for it which will pay for a set of tyres for the RS. It’ll only be for sale for a week, so anyone wanting it they’ll need to be quick 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_yorkshire Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Which GT3 are you getting ? (GTS looks nice!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSMarky Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Nice GTS for someone. 4.0 GT3? Touring?? More info needed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus666 Posted October 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 I'm going for a 991.1 GT3RS....it's a car I've always wanted since they arrived in 2015, and now at a 'sensible' price back at list price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelus666 Posted October 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 I'll only do 3/4 track days a year, but will also be a semi daily driver doing 5k miles per year. *I know there is no sensible logic in doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 From what everyone has said about how hard it is to get one of these and how good they are, I dearly hope someone here buys it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_yorkshire Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I've had the car 7 years; I can't see selling it I've never had a car for this length of time - it's still an occasion - squeezing into the carbon buckets, clunking engine / flywheel, minimal sound deadening , navigating out of the garage peering through the roll cage.... 200mph is fast enough for me... I've had a 996 CS GT3 & and a 997 GT3(factory Cup Car), and they all have the same DNA. I umm'd & I erred when the 992 came out; I had an option to buy; I'm sure it takes the game on further, but the 991 ticks all the boxes for me ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelus666 Posted November 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Yep, went to Tony and his lovely partner Jo...! It's always sad to let a car you love go, but genuinely couldn't have gone to a nicer couple! Pick up the Lava Orange GT3RS tomorrow.....just happy the weather is a fairly sunny and not p*ssing down for those Cup 2 tyres 😐 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus666 Posted November 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 *Also, to reflect a view on the market for these cars, I had 4 offers from dealers getting within £500 of my asking price and also 4 serious enquiries from private buyers within the first two days. I've got form for selling appreciating assets in the past at the wrong time (M3 CSL for £24k, Ferrari 355 for £37k), so this will probably be another 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
