Check out this 2016 Porsche Cayman GTS 981 Manual MY16.https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2016-porsche-cayman-gts-981-manual-my16/SSE-AD-15032415 Looks really nice, I’d be quite happy in that. Price is still a bit close to what GT4s actually sell (as opposed to where they sit on Carsales) for though in my mind? Maybe $150-160k would be a solid price? Quite a desirable combo though maybe it will get the asking. Yeatesy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donR Posted 6May, 2023 Report Share Posted 6May, 2023 I saw that too, and I'm thinking at $170k that Alpina B3S has got to be better value! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted 18May, 2023 Report Share Posted 18May, 2023 Does anyone know how many 981 Spyder’s were delivered? They were all manual and had carbon buckets right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one I actually saw disappear from Carsales was after it dropped to a $179k asking price. I don’t have the listing saved anymore but I do think it had a few more k’s than average.

Peter John Posted 22May, 2023 Report Share Posted 22May, 2023 3 hours ago, Bugs77 said: So what do GT4s actually sell for, just so I know as I wouldn't mind getting one? 180-220 for a 981. 210-240 for 718. But who knows all data hey. Either gt4 or gt4 with clubsport spec , Low kms or high kms, desirable colour or not- typical of any other model. 981 is the pic for driver feel. 718 for sure has benefits but many hold 981 high.

Bugs77 Posted 23May, 2023 Report Share Posted 23May, 2023 Right, so comments mirror what Carsales has there and just a matter of seeing how keen the seller is within reason. Probably one of the better areas to buy one of the more desirable Porsche's at close to what it's worth as opposed to air cooled at this moment.

Peter John Posted 23May, 2023 Report Share Posted 23May, 2023 Great value cars. Even better value is a well sorted 981S. Yeatesy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All manual yes, not certain on the seats, I think there was an option of the folding buckets or sport seats. According to an owner there were 25 delivered to Aus, typically trading (or at least listed) below GT4's. but selling faster (maybe all the GT4 sellers are dreaming).

Bugs77 Posted 3July, 2023 Report Share Posted 3July, 2023 My thoughts exactly. And why I think that GTS hasn't been snapped up, bit of watching and waiting going on in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree from a car per dollar perspective the GT4 for just a bit more is an attractive proposition. However there's something to be said for the more understated, more comfortable, more dailyable GTS which is still potent in its own right. If it's true there's only 10 981 manual Cayman GTS out there I think it will continue to command a premium to the other GTSs, but I do think they are all sitting high in my opinion. Personally, I probably wouldn't track a GT4 so it would be wasted on me. Yeatesy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeatesy Posted 3July, 2023 Report Share Posted 3July, 2023 I have been watching the GT4 market closely for a few years and they don't seem to have come down in price, there was a couple of cars with higher km's in the $160,000 to $180,000 range but I haven't seen one for a while now so in respect to the asking on this GTS it's probably relative to what GT4's are currently listed for.

Red one just disappeared from here (northern Tassie) and appears to have resurfaced in Melb. No idea if it was on Carsales or what, as I've been o/seas and couldn't hear anything on our local grapevine. Being replaced with a 4RS I believe. Hopefully catching up with a mate in next couple of days who can fill me in, I'd also be interested in $ value. Yeatesy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
