Neil_jdmr Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 With the 987.2 thread becoming a good resourceful bit of reading i thought it worry starting a 981 one. Seen a nice car for sale you think it's good value, well specced or just something different add it here. Always nice to discuss and what is one person's rubbish is another person's treasure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian987 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 soup of the day https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202206166861849 Likely to be the best 981 cayman GTS you can find with 22k of extras. Look how clean it all is. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygo Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Lovely car, is it a competive price though? I'm looking to swap my 2013 981 S with great spec but challenged by the perceived price difference - nearly £20k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to swap my 2013 981 S with great spec but challenged by the perceived price difference - nearly £20k! I think GTS can command a £10K premium over the S even before factoring in mileage and spec. That GTS does seem particularly well loaded on spec (those buckets and wheel options alone will be a factor), but only you can judge in comparison to yours.

Neil_jdmr Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 That looks like harbour cars which do indeed have some amazingly clean and specced cars. As with all things the very best sellers command the higher prices as most people will pay the premium for that piece of mind. An late model 981S with a very top spec list ( buckets, pccb, ptv) etc will be north of 45k so 55k for this is maybe not competitive but i still expect it will sell at that price. Early average spec, average mile 981s are still in the 35k range with the high milers still around 30k. Low mile gts 981's are still in the high 40s low 50s from what I've seen unless they are getting long in the legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygo Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) I'm actively looking for a GTS at the moment. They all seem to be north of £50k, but some seem to have horrendous coloured interiors. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I don't want to buy one with a limited appeal interior as at some point I will want to sell! Theres a lovely 2016 GTS for sale on Autotrader with only 9,000 miles for sale in Scotland, but a private sale @ £53k. I would like to part ex mine, so thats not going to happen with a private sale. Loath to sell mine privately before looking for a GTS as could be waiting ages for a decent one to surface. Perrenial problem for lots of people I think.

Neil_jdmr Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 Lol about the interior comments, i found this when looking for my CS. At one point i found one right spec, right price but again a bright interior, i even looked into prices for swapping it. Good luck with the search.

Have you seen this one Andy? https://www.dmbcollection.co.uk/vehicle-details/used-porsche-cayman-981-gts-for-sale-dmb-collection-u570/ I went to look at her a couple of weeks ago as was getting impatient awaiting build date confirmation on my GTS4.0. i wrote up a bit of a review on her on the 981 GTS thread here (page 3) The review might seem a little negative, the car was lovely, just needed a little bit of TLC to bring her up to the standard I’d want. Ie wheel returb, 2 new tyres, new front discs and rear pads, paint correction and ceramic. They offered me £600 off her advertised price. By coincidence, whilst I was there looking and haggling I received an email from Porsche confirming my July build date so I thanked them for their time (and the pretty lengthy test drive 😉👍🏻) and drove the 3.5hrs home again… I have some video of close ups on the wheels, underside of the car, panels which I could WhatsApp you if you want to PM me your number.

Whilst my 1 previous owner S has 53k miles, its also a decent spec with Chrono, pasm etc. It's mint inside as well, the seat side bolter hasn't been used as an elephants launching pad so is isnt creased. I saw a 14 plate GTS on autotrader with 16k miles and did a webuyany car on it. was valued at £39k, for sale at £53 privately. Prices are all over the place for the GTS vs the S versions.

Neil_jdmr Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 26k is far too low as 50k mile cars are selling for 10k more with similar spec. I understand mark up but 33% is a bit much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
