G29 Market watch

[Argyll Andy]

Hence why the used market is so buoyant, who wants to wait a year for a car, bad enough it’s four months for the zed

I also think it’s going to keep the market strong next year too as I’m sure many people won’t be aware of the extra long lead times for most cars and when they go to order expecting the usual 6/8 week lead time are going to get a surprise and buy quality 2nd hand.

Argee with your choice, after a good talking too about sticking with the M40i

Having owned a 718 and now a G29, imo the G29 is a far nicer, better equipped cabin, although it is a fantastic looking car too, for me my Boxster wins that competition

Stop talking about Boxsters….!!

The G29 looks fat and heavy in comparison but as we know is lithe and handles superbly.

That’s no a G29

Thought you were having a go at me again, I'm neither fat or heavy

Talking of fat and heavy, what's the weight difference between GTS 4.0 and the M40i?

No flower I wasn’t….you’ll know when I do, it’ll start something like….Hey, you know that fat ass Yorkshire bint, well what she said was…….

The GTS on the configurator with our spec came out just over £82k then OTR charges on top

The thing that really killed it for me was that I asked with 10-12k a year what hit could I expect to take after 2 yrs, £30k for the GTS and at least £35k on a Spyder. That’s almost the cost of an M40i and once you add in Porsche’s 10%+ interest rates it’s pretty close to covering the whole cost of the M40i.

I didn’t look at the 4 cylinder one as I would want the 6

You pair of tight arses….my spec comes out at £89,500…..

Sars no it’s not worth it for a daily, not in anyone’s book. Once you have your M40i you’ll forget all about a GTS. It’s just imho obvs but unless you’re doing early Sunday mornings and really enjoy touring in one along with very very enthusiastic driving in a light car then the Zed is easily capable of matching one for more everyday stuff.

I am tempted with the Boxster S as it is more reasonably priced, but I do believe that the M40i is the better daily driver, it just lacks that extra bit of kudos as a drivers car, but more than enough for me. The technology in the zed is also much superior and the inside of the Boxster is getting dated now. I’d like to eventually own a Porsche but when you get to £89k that’s 911 territory. Anyway here’s my attempt at a very reasonable £64k

Hi I picked up my new Boxster 4.0 GTS at the end of last month , I waited 9 months for it & it cost more than 80 but less than 85 k , is it better than an Z M40i I cant say because I haven't driven one of those but I can say the Boxster is bloody amazing and worth every penny , looks are subjective and the G29 has grown on me but I think the Boxster is better looking , I will agree the Tech is outdated though
