I am assuming facelift including sports design package and just that bit lower again.

I see on Pistonheads there is a new facelift S plus sports design 10 miles for sale at just under £70K

I thought Porsche were trying to stop speculators?

This must be one of the very first facelift S models in the country and already for sale as a used vehicle?

And I am fairly sure they have not yet got this car or another cheaper S spec one for sale on their site judging by the photos off the configurator, I priced the cat new at just under £63K on the options actually mentioned in the advert so if nothing else they are looking for about £7k profit

The ad states they have no vehicles in stock. It appears to be a trade sale.
I'm sure Porsche could identify who has ordered this if they wanted to.

I suspect they may find few takers. This is not 2014 with order lists shooting over a year.3 to 4month delivery dates and there is a good supply of year old GTS's in the used market. Those ordering today are being told reasonably delivery dates. I suspect the one chance of a reasonable profit is if no deal Brexit puts prices up 10%.

I do wonder how many Taycans they have ordered.

I have managed to pre-order a facelifted GTS albeit only last week. I have a build slot but it is a new OPC. I paid £3k for the build slot and have all the docs etc. They reckon it will only land December 19 at the earliest and be circa £60k without options.

Which dealer did you order via and what was the base cost of a GTS pre-facelift?

Congrats on getting in an order.

I would imagine almost any OPC will take your £3k deposit and happily tell you that you are on the list for a new GTS eventhough they don't know yet much about when it will be available. They just bank the money and put your name on a list as you can't even spec a car yet.

Bazza06 and Mcdk , quite possible but the paperwork says I’m on the list for a GTS. The good news is the price is supposedly imminent. I’m happy with my current car and I am waiting till the new reg in March 20. My OPC is brand new and not even open yet. They are trading out of a temporary building next door but the showroom opens in April.

Several posters have stated that new OPC’s will be easier to deal with as they don’t have existing customers and can sell the lots.
