Thanks everyone, I now won't rule this colour out, if a car meets all other criteria.
So it's:
S (or GTS)
Carmine red
Sapphire blue
Carrara white
2017 or 2018
Low miles
Pan roof
20" wheels pref not black as wifey hates them
Xenon or LED
14 way memory seats
Rear camera
Under Porsche or Porsche extended warranty
Less than £50k

The above are must haves, additional options obviously a bonus.

The search starts again.

Do forum members think that supply of 2017/18 cars may improve in the Spring and prices come down a little?

Your no black wheels stipulation rules out lots of GTS given black was standard in them. Many owners even if upgrading kept with black to retain the GTS look.

Yes I know, I would accept the wheels yours had as they looked good, but probably not the Spiders, although on a white car they look okay.

I am leaning more toward the S anyway as it does everything I need and want.

If there are no/few deliveries between late December and April as suggested elsewhere on the forum, newly new cars will increase in value. That happened between when I first started to look for a Macan having missed the Gen1 last order date around May /June 2018 and Gen2 first deliveries of early 2019. In practice, I think if a had bought a 2016 /7 Macan in Late 2018 it would have now suffered the same depreciation as my bought new 2019 Macan S.

What does Wifey think of the gloss/Jet black 20 inch turbos which are not pure black but show some bright alloy?

Always possible to buy a car with pure black spiders, buy some other wheels ebay or new and sell the black spiders

Not unless you are looking at a then 6 month older model. January is one of the best times to buy a car as business is always slow post Christmas. Come Spring OPC’s will really move them upward and if the new car prices do increase post Brexit the used will also benefit. Think you will struggle to get a GTS with your options and a Porsche warranty under £50k unless it’s a private sale with the extended warranty already purchased. Certainly do-able when considering S. Good luck 👍

They would be fine as would the gloss black sports wheels, it's really just the matt black spyders.

Leaning toward an S as it gives me everything I need and hopefully get a slightly newer, lower mileage car than an equivalent priced GTS.

14 way seats also kills off the inclusion of most GTS. As you say it seems an S might be your best route although a GTS is likely to suffer much lower depreciation.

Have you seen the Mamba Green 2019 S that Matt at Prestige Performance have. Marmite colour but a great spec and nice wheels.
