Show Us Your Motors!

Hard to find their previous sales but ~50K at the place I was talking about before would get you:

https://loot.com/cars/nissan/gt-r/n...um-2drprivate-plate-316-gtr-included-12664063

2015/12,000 miles - IIRC the finance on it was £1000 deposit, £700/m 5 year and then whatever optional final payment but the newer ones were around similar just higher optional final payment.

Gonna struggle for new or nearly new from a main dealer at 50K for anything which isn't pretty much entry level.

Maybe not a brand new supercar but up to about £50K they are literally throwing money at consumers right now with insane zero deposit finance deals :eek: you would literally be insane to ever sign up for but if your credit is good knock yourself out :p & enjoy the massive headache in a few years when it finally dawns on you how much you actually paid & still owe!!

I did a quick check on autotrader uk quite a few sub £40K R8 with insane dealer finance deals !! So point I am making is this yellow R8 could quite possibly be one of those ;) the lines between what people can afford to actually get (not actually own!) are way lower than they ever were! :p

But this is not an 85k plus car, its 55k which is a far safer buy as even the older higher mileage examples are like 35k upwards, but still I'd not want to buy such a car with just a 1k deposit and £700 per month, its not a sound financial choice, go minimum of 10k in.

You aint getting an 75-100k R8 V10 for zero deposit and low monthly payments.

Basically same point I was making just a more roundabout way in that a the same time you can get a lot of car these days for low or no deposit and low monthly payment.

I need to find something interesting to buy to post in this thread again hah - sadly my next purchase will likely be boring and functional to fit a purpose.

Not the end of world if your car has shot up though. All cars are moving up some more so than others, Porsche world is going crazy. :D

Whilst true in percentage terms but not absolutely. 4C has gone from ~38k to ~45k, R8 from ~75k to ~87k. The problem at the moment is the residuals / GFVs haven't come up aswell so financing has got considerably worse. Anyway I've more or less decided to stay put for now, until I can comfortably afford a 'supercar' I don't want to buy in this bubble. R8 has a lot further to fall than the 4C in absolute terms IMO.

I feel like a smart buy right now is a 718 GT4 PDK, can get a factory order easy enough for Dec '21 and will probably be 'free motoring' for the first year. Alas the exhaust is a joke and I don't fancy 4 grand on a JCR!

The original point was though the R8 V10 of the age in the photo cannot be had for zero deposit and low monthly payment, its a 75-100k car. So its gonna be £1500 plus per month with a deposit, the car in question most likely was purchased with BTC.

You can place a factory order with Porsche? I thought there was no slots available, 992 GT3's already getting flipped for 250k plus lol.
If you can factory order a GT4 I could be tempted, but I'd personally want manual, is it only PDK available?

I've seen similar, guess it depends on your priorities. I think store manager etc is into 50k mark surely. When I was 18 and worked in a retail shop the manager was driving a brand new Jag too and that was a 60k or so car. She was on 42k if I remember right.

Store manager wages have largely stagnated the last few years - long standing ones and/or some of the bigger stores you can easily do 50+K but increasingly they are trying to pay more like sub 30 :s

On the flip-side if you are working full-time as a retail supervisor or something and living with parents or a cheaper house share, etc. and otherwise fairly basic lifestyle can probably roll the finance on something like that.

EDIT: It doesn't tend to go down well though if you turn up driving something like that if your bosses are driving less nice cars :s be prepared to get all the **** shifts, etc. LOL.

Yeah the GT3 is another animal, no chance of getting one. GT4 last time I spoke with swindon were orderable albeit with long wait, manual or PDK. May not be the case now as the market is always moving I guess, this was about 6 weeks ago.
 
Hi there

Couple of photos from my 1900 mile drive around Scotland, was absolutely awesome and can highly recommend it.

Great photos. Brightened my day looking at them. Very nice property and the Fiat is nice too. (Not jealous :o)

I will keep the temperamental yellow Italian every time, its in another league of smiles per mile and I should not really say temperamental as its never put a foot wrong yet, it just scared us in Scotland because for whatever reason the front boot and fuel cap refused to open from the key or the interior car controls and that was a worry considering how quickly it was emptying the fuel tank in Scotland, but as I've found with this car its just been Italian and a few lock and unlocks later it fixed itself. :D

I cannot see me changing the 458 for anything else as a direct replacement except a Speciale but those are silly money and 2-3 Porsche owners put me of the GT3 RS which was the viable alternative car but because I do so many road miles I've been told not so suitable.
