Close to changing my 2017 SD which is mint 34k miles. Volcano Grey 21 classics, dark glass etc, pasam. I love the car but want a change. I am set on
Porsche Code PL6BR4P2.

On my existing car I have been offered 27k trade value. Not too happy about that. When you reference the web sites what my present car is listed circa £37-40k. That fact and going from 38mpg to circa 25mpg is the only thing holding me back!

Thoughts?

Go on; you know you want to! ;)

The difference in fuel consumption cost pales into insignificance compared to the depreciation. Hopefully the new GTS will not drop as much as your SD. That does seem a low p/ex price.....

I would definitely ring around some other OPCs and you may well get a better ‘cost to change’. :geek:

I thought, by law, quoted car prices had to be the 'on the road' price. Clearly that's not the case if Porsche isn't doing it. Potentially rather annoying to discover you've got an extra grand and a half to pay!!

Sadly that changed some while back due the massive increase in “disabled” registrations (rfl exempt....)

The current motability contract hire fleet is over 600 000 cars (200 000 new car registrations annually -roughly 10% of UK registrations)
