14 - 718 Spyders for sale today and PC claiming no allocation left for 2020 and no allocations confirmed for 2021 would any of these Covid19 cars sell today even if priced at original OTR list!

2 more months of potential summer weather and furlough scheme ending October could be the game over month[]

So thats more than 1 in 10 of the 718s delivered to date for sale just in that snap shot - makes you wonder what proportion have gone to owners genuinely interested in running the car. Irrelevant to me as I won’t be swapping my 981 but frustrating for those who would want to buy a car new.

Dealers and Porsche sailing very close to restrictive practices I would think when attempting to sell franchise cars over list whilst preventing normal folk from ordering one - it’s only now that prices are at or below list they are starting to appear on the AUC site which means they know it’s not right.

 

[dpoynton]

Whilst we all agree it's not right, you can't blame the flippers.

But it doesn't paint Porsche Germany/Reading/PCs in a good light.

Presumably they believe that they're doing a favour for their "best" customers by letting them have the first cars, but are they really their best customers? Discuss!

I don't have, and am not in the market for, a Spyder, I'd take a GT4 though. []

Discuss:-

Another greedy PC or flipper has just had a £4k price drop to £91,990 - If that doesn't find a buyer another month of current meltdown should see this one back at list or less even

If they are not selling at this time of year then it’ll be a struggle come September...have to say that the colour schemes of some of these cars are pretty individual which surely doesn’t maximise the chance of a sale? This one is far too black and white for me - I really do not like the black plastic bits on this car e.g. round the high level brake light and the front smile - are they an option or do they all have that? The painted look seems cleaner to me.

The black plastics are all part of the new look - Must have saved Porsche £££'s not having to prime & paint

 

[SpyderDavid]

On another topic there is a thread raised on the Cayman forum wondering if they could have a separate “GT4” section....the Forum Administrator has replied that it’s quick to do and cheap (free) so that‘s an argument that was not researched and never held water - as those who have had a career in IT knew. Sometimes our club seems like a poor imitation of Yes Minister (shows age ) rather than one that’s fit for the 21st Century - it’s a shame.

Never spotted that until looking at the white car where it seems so obvious - I think that alone would put me off the car - in the pictures at least it looks a bit low rent in my opinion. Perhaps better in the flesh or on another colour or without black wheels.

Price Drop before summer really does end [8D] and furlough with it[&:]
