M12MTR Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Howdy. Thoughts on this please: 65 plate 981 GTS, 20k miles, 5 owners, looks nice condition, private sale, usual GTS spec, no warranty. Cheers in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M12MTR Posted July 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Edit; I'm looking to buy one, not sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 All my opinion. Assuming pdk, £45-47k private. Motorway suggesting 44k for the seller so anything more is a bonus. Value dependant on an condition of paint, service requirements, the tyres, brakes, and any faults like seized PSE valves. I expect values to drop from in the near term.

Slightly less maybe but not a significant difference since they are rarer, they might hang around a bit longer, but if you especially wanted a manual I'd suggest waiting a little longer for the Spyder, prices are definitely softening. (Await the roof comments - a very small price to pay for the engine and styling). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M12MTR Posted July 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Thanks Daz. There's one for sale but way too much IMO (£8.5k more than you higher private sale figure). I figured a fair price of £45 to 48 tops (if no maintenance required, discs, tyres etc). Due to this I haven't offered my 'low' offer. And without any form of warranty / even remaining OPC so I could extend. Thinking the seller isn't in a rush, doesn't actually want or need to sell or chancing a sale.

The collecting cars one, yes it's a good spec but it's encroaching Spyder territory which is more deserving of such a premium. . It's been well discussed, most people in agreement that it's overpriced. It made £47k on collecting cars which was a very good offer, especially considering the fees they take.

At that price I’d be offering I’d be putting to it and considering this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325708486418?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=iwqKB6pnTxS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=nQ4vB0cgSFm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Practically brand new 4.0 for not a lot more Edited July 25, 2023 by r1flyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the consensus was tops circa £47k? But it reached £50k and reserve not met? Then I'm out. Won't contact him again. For ref I let a GT Silver one go, same spec minus PTV, but only 9k miles, last year for £49,995. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz05 Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 The best offer on the car was £47.2k, the fees go to collecting cars so not relevant. You could go to £48k if everything checks out, but remember a seized exhaust valve could end up costing you the best part of £2k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Mac Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 This has been for sale for a few weeks… was on the classified thread I’m sure… Advert says 1 owner - colour combo (carmine + tan) not for everyone … and needs a good scrub…. And a bit miley … but a manual GTS with OPC history and warranty to 2025… wonder what they actually want for it price wise…. 36? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202305087131564 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
