Time enough to make a thread, not time enough to write 'second hand'.

What do you think, Covid, Brexit, sheer profiteering, Chip shortage, lack of used vehicles...

This started right after covid hit.

Dealers were closed for ages and then suddenly everyone was having a mid life crisis.

A 981 is a great tool for a mid life crisis!

Not surprised! I had the use of a 2.9 a couple of years back and it was bloody brilliant

Pick and mix of coivd, brexit, chip shortages, lack of second hand cars and coming to the end of affordable petrol engine sports cars.

I have no doubt that my 981 cost me far more then it would have last year or in 2019, but at the same time i got more for the Z4M and i cant see it losing a huge amount in my ownership either.

Also the 981 GTS that were going for mid/high 40s a month ago where selling within an hour of going online, resulting in the next car that garage got in having 5K or more added to the price, which priced me out of them.

Paragon had a nice 981 GTS for £52000, sold within 20 minutes apparently

 

[Jumper118]

have you considered buying a different car?

 

[Baja King]

Yep

981S...

It's a bit like buying a GPU, the market will settle eventually
