4 GTS @ Paragon

Well that sold promptly for an overpriced car with such a poor spec! :floor:

It seems Alcantara delete wasn't such an issue for someone, nor was the lack of a manual 'box. Oh and the 4wd doesn't seem to have put the buyer off either. Or, to put it another way: Someone got a great car with Full Leather, PDK with Sports Chrono and Sport Plus, and the sure-footed 4wd for higher cornering speeds too!!

As an aside, it may be interesting to some (or not) that Alcantara is NOT a premium product. It's vastly cheaper than leather - about 10-15% of the cost of leather if memory serves. (Many years ago I used to source hides and fabrics for a company I was working for). Alcantara is simply a triumph of marketing over material! Any "But it's lighter" comments will be ignored unless accompanied by a photo of their full trophy cabinet :hand:

Anyway, it will indeed be interesting to see how quickly the white aero-kitted 911V car sells. It's not my cup of tea (personally not a fan of the Aero kit rear spoiler on the GTS) but that's the great thing about the spec of any car, generally speaking, it's subjective and there's a bum for every seat! :thumb:

I reckon someone's got a great car with that Paragon GTS - wonder if they're on here at all....


Good points, well made sir, the GTS in all its guises is a fabulous car & the lucky buyer of the Paragon car will no doubt enjoy it for a long while....despite it's dodgy spec😂

he currently has a 991 Targa 4 GTS - binning it for this 997.... wants to be a bit more old school
Wow, that is a brave move as the 991 Targa is a fabulous looking car. Not sure I would follow suit as it's going to be a bit of a step backwards in most departments. That said, I would be in no rush to swap my older Turbo for anything newer without a manual 'box so maybe I should just zip it!

Good luck to him anyway but they are all great cars so each to their own I guess. I mean, who wouldn't like a nice low mileage 3.2C coupe to dash around in on a sunny afternoon in the Cotswolds?
