They said $280k email offer is rock bottom but they’d chuck in door to door delivery to Melbourne. I went to 2 Porsche centres today to check seats before continuing the dance. LWBs are tight but OK. I understand folding buckets (as in AH car) are narrower, similar to 997 CS seats which were painfully uncomfortable for me. PCB said they hold quite a few orders for 992 GT3s and many of those guys have 991.2s so the market will see more cars next year. So I’ll wait. 6 minutes ago, NBTBRV8 said: Well you know what they say, if you have to ask the price... Anyway, I am sure you'd be good for it DJM.

Too rich for me at 450-500 I found LWB too upright and after 30 minutes my shoulders were killing me. I am slim and found the folding buckets brilliant, a really comfortable seat even after hours. 997 CS seats are slim than folding buckets if I recall correctly. I am anticipating a notable shift when the 992 is announced, just not sure I can wait that long and something else takes my fancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the wriggle room is there for that . New cars will be $400 K plus so initially everyone is after as much as they can get . I still think $100,000 under the new model is still attractive pricing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 9December, 2020 Report Share Posted 9December, 2020 AH silver car is sold $280k pending finance. Not to me. Their carsales offer appears to have worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 14December, 2020 Report Share Posted 14December, 2020 Selling like hot cakes 😲 green 460k, white 485k (Weissach pack) and grey 338k I think were recent prices. That leaves just 4 GT3 and 3 RS 991.2 PDK on the market 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can enjoy it more My 2018 GT3 Touring lost $87K My 2019 GT3RS lost $40K Both averaged around $10 per km which I think is a reasonable expectation for a $400K car for the first 10,000km Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of track use and occasional weekend saunter. The .2 RS sounds like it’s a big step on from a GT3. I suppose the next question is whether 992 GT3 with revised front end is better than 991.2 RS..... how much is enough......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of track use and occasional weekend saunter. The .2 RS sounds like it’s a big step on from a GT3. The RS is a much stronger track car; front end turn in, feel, grip are all much improved. Spring rates are better for the track, rear downforce is better. I wouldnt hesitate if track days/club comp are your thing. But when the balance is shifted to road use, the GT3 is a more liveable package for most. DJM, SS 3 and Jason A 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not hold the high RPM, or perhaps change earlier, then the current problem of the followers is lessened? Am I thinking about it all wrong?
