It's a 2012 991 C2S PDK Black on Black, nice options, 36k miles.
So if his local OPC is offering him £48k, what will that end up at on the forecourt? They've probably already got someone lined up.
Also, circa £70k was paid for it at 1 year old, being offered £48k 5 years later, so just £4,400 depreciation per year seems excellent
At an OPC that'll be a £59,995 car I reckon.
£4.4k pa depreciation being taken as "excellent" is an interesting view. Compared to the person who took a £25k hit in one year on the same car it definitely is.
Certainly compared to other marques it probably stacks up well but many on here are more likely to be in the camp of thinking that if he'd have bought a similar age 997GTS at that time he would have lost an awful lot less.
Horses for courses I suppose.
Realistically your going to lose on a 'normal' newer Porsche. The retail on the 991 im buying was just shy of 110 grand, and ive paid 62,500 on a 5 year old car, im fairly happy someone else took the hit of 47,500 and I see it being worth a minimum of 50-55k in 4 years time, as its newer and on cheaper finance ill gladly take that little hit :thumb:
