Deacon 1357 Report post Posted November 29, 2015 Hello, I'm considering selling my tuned GT86 so I thought I'd put this post up and see if there is any interest. It was registered in April 2013 and I am the only owner. It is currently on 20400 miles but this will increase a little as I use it. It has been serviced yearly by RRG in Macclesfield. Below is a list of the fitted or included modifications. All standard parts are also included in the sale - the only exception to this is that while the stock wheels are included they do not have tyres on the them. Fitted parts:- Alloy wheels - I run two sets a winter set from October to April which are 17x7.5" Fox Fx005's with 215/45/17 Nokian WRA3 winter tyres and a summer set which are 17x7" Konig Daylite's with 215/45/17 Federal 595 RSR tyres. The Nokian's have around 6mm of tread, the Federal's around 2.5mm. RAYS locking wheel nuts Cobra cat-back exhaust HKS Panel filter Cosworth Panel filter Toyota badges removed and front and rear Toyota badge replaced with a custom Batman logo Red alcantara binnacle cover Whiteline positive shift bush Ecutek Remap HKS oil filler cap TRD Door stabiliser kit Japseed front carbon strutbrace Beatrush master cylinder brace Anarchy motive gearknob Premiuim mats red carpet mats Mtec shift springs Tein Flex A coilovers Whiteline front adjustable anti-roll bar Whiteline rear adjustable anti-roll bar Whiteline front adjustable drop links Whiteline rear adjustable drop links Whiteline rear anti-roll bar mount braces Whiteline rear upper camber bushes Legsport carbon duckbill spoiler Bonnet gas dampers TRD wing aero fins TRD front canards (not currently fitted) Custom headlight adjuster for lowered cars Cusco rear carbon strutbrace (includes tried to fit boot floor mat and standard boot mat) Mishimoto red intake hose HKS oil filter (not currently fitted) When I bought the car it was treated with Gtechniq exo and this was redone again last year. Some pictures:- Test drives are available on production of valid fully comprehensive insurance. The car is located on the West Midlands / South Staffs border. Please note - at the moment I am only looking to sell the car complete with all the modifications I am not looking to part the car out. I am looking for a firm £18000 including all of the standard and aftermarket parts. This is a bargain and so I won't go below £18000. Thanks for looking. Any questions please ask ☺ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just looking to sell it as is at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've wanted a porsche for years and have just missed out on one that would have been perfect. The amount I wanted it and how gutted I was that I missed out on it just made me realise that it's definitely an itch I need to scratch. However, if the 86 doesn't sell it's not exactly going to be a hardship to keep hold of! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From an independent it's approximately £1000 for 4 years servicing as it's £350 for a minor and £700 for a major but they have 2 year service intervals. The one I missed out on had only done 14k miles, had full porsche service history and had a years porsche warrenty remaining which would cover any niggles that might emerge. It also had new tyres all round 4k miles ago. Plus I see pictures like this and know I definitely want one:- If the 86 doesn't sell I'll hold onto it for a while longer but I am sure now that the porsche itch needs to be scratched. 1 GT86-Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tareim 343 Report post Posted November 30, 2015 fair enough, a Porsche would be nice but I don't think I'd ever be able to afford to run one so would be a bit jealous :P 1 Deacon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deacon 1357 Report post Posted November 30, 2015 One of the cost factors that make the sort of porsche I'm looking at not so bad to run is the lack of depreciation - a friend had the same car I'm looking at, ran it for a year and sold it for a small profit. That definitely helps offset some of the running costs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted November 30, 2015 Nooooooo, you know my thoughts Jeff, but can't argue about the investment side, my brother in laws father in law (if that makes sense) has an old school Porsche (can't actually remember which) brought it for about £13k 5 or 6 years ago and is now worth £35k or something along those lines....but still....don't do it! You won't be able to enjoy it, sprint it, track it like you do the 86, and maybe not hold its value as much if you do? 1 Deacon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may not make it such an investment but for me cars are there to be enjoyed. Still even if the value just stays the same it definitely helps offset any running costs. Plus that picture pretty much cemented it for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted November 30, 2015 If you can afford it Jeff, go for the 981 rather than the 987. It's a much better car. I had a 981 Boxster S, it was pretty good, but I got bored because I was scared to play with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That definitely helps offset some of the running costs! So what are you after then? I'm lucky as I need back seats. So given that I can't afford a sensible age/mileage 911, the lack of seats meant I couldn't be swayed by the various decent s/h caymans you see. Can't knock them - proper cars. Mind you, if you buy a Cayenne shame on you I do know someone who ran a sensibly chosen early 00s 911 Carrera and it didn't bite him financially, but I'm just not that brave!

Deacon 1357 Report post Posted November 30, 2015 I'm after a Cayman. Probably 06 or 07 and the 2.7. Ideally in black with pasm, sports buckets, climate control, turbo wheels and pse. No more than 25k miles and ideally with porsche warrenty. The one I found ticked all those boxes apart from the sports buckets and pasm. It had only done 13600 miles and had a years porsche warrenty to run and was up for £18k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also prefer the looks of the 986 in some ways - reminds me more of the older porsches which is what I'd ideally have if they weren't silly money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Before I had kids I thought about getting a chrome bumpered 2.2 or 2.4 911 back when they were £20-25k. I thought it was a daft place to put my money - how wrong I was! :-D Should have bought a 3.2 Carrera five years ago too... Hindsight is a wonderful thing...

Deacon 1357 Report post Posted November 30, 2015 Tell me about it! When I bought my first new car in 2003 I had the chance to buy a carerra clubsport for £25k. The last time I saw one for sale it went for £95k! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted November 30, 2015 But personally I can't afford it, so I wouldn't enjoy it. I can justify the 86 because it's new, under warranty for quite a while and thus 'sensible' thus no big bills - but a Porsche I'd be scared of a big bill coming along. Bloody tempting though - that's a lot of car for £18k - good job I need the back seats, eh? 1 Deacon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
