GR86 GR86 - The “I’m thinking of cancelling / did cancel my order” thread

Discounts aside, £25,600 in 2015 adjusted for inflation is £31,683.56 today apparently so not miles apart in reality.

I got mine in 2019 haha. Although the inflationary pressures between 2015 and 2019 were nowhere near what they are now so I guess it’s still not bad.

Were you ever tempted to take it to BBR? I can’t get the idea of one as a second car out of my head.

Yes. I kept looking at it but the price did put me off a little. I understand that they do great work but coming from turbo hot hatches where higher gains can be had from a quick remap, the right Yorkshireman in me said no.
I also tend to get bored of cars within a couple of years so no point putting a few grand in to one just to get rid of it. To be fair, this is the longest that I’ve ever kept a car and if the GR86 wasn’t being released, I’d have kept it.

My car goes into build in 7 days. As a way of alleviating some boredom, a special (non-existent) bunch of internet points to the first correct guess as to what car it is!

No, I've not cancelled the GR, this is something that should fill the gap until the GR should arrive!

RenaultSport or Alpine of some sort
 
If it's from Dieppe then I'm going for Alpine too.

Well that killed a whole ten minutes! This isn't mine, but this is the same colour. Should be here in December:

Great car these. I had one of the launch editions with the forged alloys. They drive like an early 911 in many respects and are in their element on B roads and are incredible long distance tourers as well. If you can travel relatively light they cover all bases - daily, relaxing GT car, Euro tourer, fun for weekend blast and supreme Welsh A/B road king. It didn't have space for a child seat but other than that, I much preferred it to the GR Yaris. So did my dog....

That’s the 2 litre. With a colour option. Like mine.

I pay £401 with GAP and dealer fitted dash cam 😕. Glad I got mine when I did!

I have been looking at cars over the weekend. Most of the big German manufacturers are around 12% APR on their approved cars. The monthly repayments are huge.

The crazy thing is that used prices are still really high but they haven’t adjusted the GFV whixh makes the monthly repayment high.

Surely they’ll have to start lowering their prices to compensate, otherwise used cars are just unaffordable now?
 
Will be a bad time for anyone wanting to part exchange when the market shifts, my ST has dropped a grand in a month.
 
I'm part-exing but not expecting much anyway. Wasn't going to since it will be so low but don't want the hassle of dealing with knuckle draggers on FB Marketplace later and I can put it towards a new front door.
 
The used market will surely have to drop substantially in the coming months to compensate for the hike in rates to at least meet half way or I can imagine all manufactures will really struggle to shift cars. Not helped that finance has been so filthy cheap for so many years now so it is alien to be paying so much.

For sure

Bank loans I'm guessing will be less accessible now too so the used car market will slump and slow dramatically I suspect
 
Think anyone looking at buying or selling after new year will have to manage their expectations and will either end up in something older or get cheaper models than they normally would new. I can't see me ever selling the 86.
