What do you gents think of this one?
Tyres are at approx 5.5mm and new pads and discs all round, next service is June or July 21. And there’s a fair bit of movement on price that I’m still in negotiations on.
Is there anything I’ve missed or that could be a bargaining point?

Thanks
Looks like it needs a good clean, can't believe they've listed it with photos like that...it's filthy inside.

Only comment I'd have is I'm surprised the steering wheel stitching isn't red to match the rest. Is that extra?

I know exactly what you mean about how they take pictures with a dirty car!!
As we all know very well anything is possible with Porsche as long as your willing to pay.
The only thing missing from my list is a heated steering wheel.
Don’t know if I should be patient and wait or will I kick myself if a car with this speck doesn’t come around again at a decent price.

Also can you retrofit a heated steering wheel?

No idea on whether it can be retrofitted, it wasn't on our "want" list but the care we bought came with it. I really like it a lot.

I enjoy fresh air from the vents when I drive but this can make my hands cold, especially in hot weather when they are blowing cold. Love being able to warm the wheel to take the chill off my hands.

This is just it! I’ve never owned a car with it but the loaner cars I’ve had did have them and I did say my next car would have one.
First world problems eh ;)

It’s okay but the Porsche Teeside Macan Turbo that you posted albeit higher miles would be my choice, better spec and lower price than this one plus heated steering wheel 😊 had it gone or didn’t you consider it further ?

No it’s still available. But this can be had for cheaper :)
Also the only difference in the two are this ones full leather with red ( which I prefer) and the other has leather/alcantara interior (not my choice)
Yes the heated steering wheel is one thing that the turbo does have.
I can’t think what other options the turbo had over this one.

Agree, similarly specced, Turbo has a bit more cosmetically, Alcantara roof lining, and some differences external body, grill etc, plus another 600cc 😈. Although if you don’t like the Alcantara it’s a non starter and it also has the Alcantara steering wheel which would put me off. It’s still a 2018 model year, overall a higher value-spec and worth more than the GTS so you should be able to take a chunk off the £50k asking price. 👍

I've got the red stitched interior, it doesn't come with red stitching on the steering wheel, though I'm sure 'Porsche Exclusive Manufacture' would do it for you for a couple of grand if you're a daft moneybags.

So a deal has just been done on the black gts at 48k and a free 4th year major service when needed next year including brake fluid change. And the pdk oil service when it needs doing at 40k. All FOC!
So overall very pleased with that deal as I will not need spend anything on this car for at least two years.
It goes to show as prices are still quite inflated due to COVID deals can be done even with Porsche themselves.
