I would have thought standard stuff will Be broadly the same as every manufacturer in the same boat.

I think the silly price specials (GT cars for one) may take a tumble to a realistic second had price

We won’t truly find out until the government stimulus ends and the reality of the economic issues starts to hit. We’re in a strange stasis right now, the cracks probably won’t appear until autumn.

As it is right now there’s little to no movement and showrooms are shut so prices have frozen.

It’s about right pre-covid. Make them an offer, you never know.

You could potentially be in a great position for both when this <beep> storm ends.
Have you been going through any Porsche forums to see what folks have paid in the last 6 months? Might be worth having a look and also taking notes of prices now, then seeing if they drop over the next month or so. Porsche say they're working from home, but not seen prices changes on there sites.
Seems like some performance car dealers have been changing stock over the last few weeks.

Tried to make an offer on a new build in bury st edmunds recently, and got nowhere.

I joined 911 uk.com recently, and lurk daily. Until I start testing I'm not sure what I'm after really, but the turbo s is drawing me ....lol

Until I move, it's unlikely I can garage and that concerns me.

Waiting for next spring could well help me home wise, it's all crystal ball really....

When the lockdown lifts I'll try porsche colchester again for hopefully some test drives.

Thanks all, for the replies, all good stuff.

Urghhhh, new build house. That's a different topic though.
Turbo s is stunning! What colour you after?

My present home was a new build, had major defects, was fighting the developer for about 6 years to rectify it all, estimate repairs i reckoned at £100k....

No idea on colour! lol

Definitely not red leather, or brown leather interior.

Black looks nice but need to see in flesh really.

Dangerous game..looking so much online

Need to find out more about running costs/warranty for a 6 yr old car that much money too.

I'll be buying a 2nd car daily runner too...

New builds are shocking. I do loads of work on building sites, nobody who builds them would ever buy a house that's been built in the last 10-15 years.

I like brown/cognac leather but the wife hates it with a passion. I'm staying away from black cars, it'd kill me with my ocd.

I think Porsche will warranty a car upto 15 years old if I remember correctly, obviously need good service history with them. Are you looking at buying from a dealer or just anywhere that has the right one? Dealer prices don't seem much more from what I've seen (I'm looking at gaymans)

My understanding is you can buy from outside the network, get a porsche inspection and then porsche warranty? Would look fully into all that before purchase.

If I'm gonna spend that much on a car, I'll be wanting a really good warranty yeah.

Yeah, hear you about new builds! national scandal....

Seen a blue one that looked a really nice colour, red suits too but very loud.
