Should I buy this Cayman GT4?

So quick question... have an opportunity to buy a porsche GT4, but have limited experience with the market.

It's a 16, 3,500 miles one owner. Owner wants quick sale, listed for 95k, 5k under MSRP. I was going to offer 86 or so? can't hurt.

do these things really hold to MSRP Value? if i buy this thing for 3-4 months and put 3,000 miles on it can i break even?

any input is appreciated. i love doing stuff like this, a bit of a hobby.

also limited experience, but if you don't plan on driving it...IMO, this is one of the models that will hold its value.

it's a porsche GTX model, limited run, last naturally aspirated engine, actually has a 911 engine in it, etc. it's pretty significant in the porsche line up.

Almost impossible to get an allocation now and some dealership are charging $20-$25k over. The car is special and will definitely appreciate in value. If you have the means, then I would try and get it. Saw one in my work parking lot and almost jizzed in my pants. (Maybe that part wasn't necessary).

That owner is not very smart to sell you the car under msrp. He could quick sell it for over msrp. Not hard to see the market on the GT4 is through the roof.

I was going to offer the 95 for it. Love the grey color and options it has. I think he won't sell it for 86.

Have you ever had a car that small before? I have, and it gets old quick, unless you have a second car...

This car probably sold for over the asking price. If you really want a GT4 you can't take time to go ask on a forum......trust me, It'll be sold before you get back to it. As someone noted these cars are selling 15k-20k over MSRP.......so don't W8............Phil

Do it right away and don't look back! I just paid *quite* a bit over MSRP for one with higher mileage. The car is incredible.

It's definitely sold if the owner really wanted to sell it for that price
