Cocky Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Andrew @ Volkswizard has his GTS up for sale. He's a YouTuber that's blind bought the car at auction following COVID where people just didn't want stock. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202309111840538?atmobcid=soc3 He's spent a lot, driven a lot and in my eyes (people as I've followed his channel) it's one of the few non forum cars you can trust. At £39k 🤯 He's been looking for a GT4 and must have found something he wants to have reduced it to that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.tourette23 Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Looks great eh. Hopefully upgrading to one of these in a few years 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 He paid about that for it at auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocky Posted September 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 I recall his first video with the car something like £43k + fees. I didn't watch that one fully there's no driving in it 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully upgrading to one of these in a few years 👍 That's my dream, although I really like what @daz05 has done with his car and in my mind between his thread & @Raffe's interior tweaking to his car. It does almost make me want a project 981 one winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSMarky Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 I saw the thread heading and thought it was that POS in Brighton! I was pleasantly surprised & looks a nice car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringmaster999 Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 I like the car and he’s honest with his video explaining it’s time to sell. Identifying things like stone chips on paintwork and the windscreen. But here’s the question. Do you think the documented work he’s carried out using non Porsche parts all be it the exact equivalent in most cases devalues the car at all? But it is being sold at a great price. I suppose it’s well documented on his YouTube videos and he’s probably got the supporting recipes. But it was carried out by himself on his drive. Interesting to see what people think 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mac Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Comes across like he’d look after a car / and looks to have done with this one. Shame it’s PDK - but does have the nice wheel design and sporty interior. That one owner, OPC warrantied, manual - discussed (slated 😂) - on the GTS values thread looks to have sold - reckon that’d been good value at < £35k… appearing at a specialist soon maybe….

Interesting to see what people think 🤔 Interesting point but he's not carried out a major service on the car so he hasn't disturbed anything that takes away with the service history. Plus he's a ex VW tech that's owned his own garage it wouldn't put me off. He's probably got more experience than most folk that work in the Porsche centres? But aye, I'm not selling the car I just thought for that sort of money it'd be great for it to hit this forum! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interior isn't the sporty one I believe just the standard one for the GTS, the GTS interior pack is a must have option on a GTS IMO, and adds some nice touches and plenty of carbon fibre. Its a nice car and nice spec but missing the GTS interior pack and also Bose as well. The PTV is a nice option to have though and not overly common. 2 hours ago, Ringmaster999 said: I like the car and he’s honest with his video explaining it’s time to sell.

Interesting to see what people think 🤔 I don't think the work he has done has devalued it personally, the service history stacks up i believe and that's what matters here. Nice car though and I like the colour, I think the price will need to come down a bit to get it sold IMO. I expect the trade in he has been offered isn't near the £40k asking price either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH if I’d sold mine I would definitely be interested in this as I think it’s a nice car. I’m not bothered about Bose and the interior is fine. I’d probably get Red seat belts fitted and possibly the steering wheel upholstered which would include a red 12’o’ clock but that would lift the interior enough for me. I'm tempted to ask if he’ll take a px 🤔👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDonald Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 It looks a cracking car, to me. Lovely colour, 2 owners & sensible milage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to show off for YouTube at all which is rare in this day & age. I think his Mrs hates it 😂😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway he’s done a few European tours one of which he takes in the Porsche museum. During the visit he actually asks his wife about the fact she’s not really into cars. To which she replied quite honestly NO. She did like the museum though. So I think you’re right 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
