Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.
Discussions that suspect a cause
1
0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
Anybody who's lucky enough to be getting a car will have had a £5K deposit in place for at least 6 months and expressions of interest for likely a lot longer, so they're pretty committed individuals.
Leading evidence: 'lot longer' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'lot longer' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Set only maybe 1/5 worn' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
the dunlops are a bit pants imo, they cost mega money, I just ditched a full set only maybe 1/5 worn.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The only reason I ask is that I was browsing leasing companies online (Nationwide), they are offering GT4s so I called up and the chap I spoke to said a few dealers may have some and that he'd get back to me...

Don't hold your breath as they say !!

Could check out this firm...
It's the premium bit that worries me...
As soon as vehicles are delivered, some will soon be back on sale so happy to wait.

So if there are still build slots available in Europe what's to stop you ordering a RHD car from say Germany?
Legally nothing to stop you, but good luck in getting an allocation once you mention RHD. It will be hard enough finding a german dealer willing to allocate you a car full stop - once you throw RHD in the mix I think you will find it is for all intents impossible.

But why is this?
Why cant a dealer in Europe supply a RHD car? They are built on the same line.
I have often wondered but never found an answer.

I used to work in the Netherlands and have successfully ordered RHD cars from Honda, BMW and VW dealers, though admittedly it was a few years ago. I even managed to get a DC2 Integra Type R RHD in a non UK available colour. There is nothing to stop them, if they can be bothered.
I guess the trick will be finding a dealer with an allocation in the first place .... but I don't speak German.

its called controlling the market.
There are two being advertised on Bloomberg at the moment by the same seller.
One black with black satin wheels + comfort spec, the other speccable. They're asking List + £27.5K
wow thats a big premium.
If I did not have a GT4 on the way I would be willing to look at paying £10k over but more than that and its getting too much for me.
Whats sort of overs are people paying these days?
DC20 said:
At PEC this week it was mentioned that some are being offered list + £35k!
Wow now thats crazy, its a good car but at the end of the day its a fast cayman not a 911.
miskalachi said:
A car broker offered me 15k over list about a month ago and I told him to stick it where the sun don't shine
Just out of interest at what point you would you bite
Geoff39GL said:
I was offered one at list + £25K and turned that down, I think £10K over is probably about right particularly looking at GT3 prices.
You'll not find one for 10k over just yet and remember 991gt3's 2nd hand are double the money

Best of luck but I don't imagine you'll find anyone willing to part with a GT4 allocation for £10K. Anybody who's lucky enough to be getting a car will have had a £5K deposit in place for at least 6 months and expressions of interest for likely a lot longer, so they're pretty committed individuals.
It seems last week a number of OPCs heard they are to receive an additional 1 to 2 cars and fortunately I have secured a car although as this is October build it could well be a cancellation methinks.....

Just noticed on your car history that you're expecting a GT4 PDK soon? You may want to change that
Cheers guys I would actually have preferred a PDK (particularly if GT3 PDK S) which was hinted before release.....especially as it suits the Carrera lump....but hey lifes a compromise I guess...

Yep, a few of the Porsche owned dealers got an extra couple of cars each which naturally went to the next in line.

You got lucky I've heard of some 35 LOI at some opc's
Bananas to think someone will sell allocation for 10k

I drove a gt3 last week on sale at my opc,list price was about 125k car was up at 160 ,so not really double.also the seller had just paid 165 for it and was hoping to flip it for 180, dealer told him they wouldn't get more than 160 for it.
Car had 500 miles and had 4 owners ,it had just been flipped between people making a profit .

Frankie the post was in response to GT4 premiums not 991 list and current prices hence double between gt4 and current 991 gt3
the dunlops are a bit pants imo, they cost mega money, I just ditched a full set only maybe 1/5 worn. never got on with them, unusable in the cold, and a very small window on track.
be disappointing to get Dunlops :-( as I have just binned £1.4k worth and swapped to CUP 2's
av185 said:
If the Dunlops are Sport Maxx they were regarded as better wet tyres than the Michelin Cup 2s on the 991 GT3 fitted to all but the last UK cars.
GT3 had Race Maxx tyres.

ah ,ok,thought that was a bit over optimistic about gt3 prices.;)
My £10k premium was based on the fact I wanted to take £50K out having bought a GT4 and sold my 991 GT3 clubsport.
Incidentally my GT3 has CUP2's which are so much better in the wet than the Cup1's on my previous GT3RS and they seem to wear better as well probably due to the extra tread.
