OPC censorship
Discussion
The SM at the OPC i used to use has won the Porsche national sales conversion award, but they weren't happy with my comments so deleted it and blocked me from their Instagram account. 
I guess the national conversion award is for conning the most people into buying cars that they don't want by making them believe they will get a GT allocation.

My .2 was 135k and worth every penny but if you gonna buy metal that you do not need then that 135k buy at list isn’t so attractive..
OPC’s know very well that GT3.2 is a bargain at list.
And, really, does this buying extra cars really happen to hopefully secure a GT?.
Before I landed my .2GT3 I was thinking of paying overs. I spoke to the OPC that offered me the overs car and I stated ‘’it’s only a deal if you give me a letter stating I would definitely secure a .2RS later on’’, he declined and said NO to the letter - I then said ‘’fine but NO thanks then’’. So for me that’s cool, we knew where both of us stood. But where he messed up was stating to me ‘’definitely no more GT3’s coming to the UK’’ when trying to move the overs car to me.
Roll on 3 months, bingo, I was offered a .2GT3 slot from my first choice OPC to which never played BS games with me, just a genuine professional sales experience..
So, you here the nasty bits but there are some good bits too. And to note, I have only ever owned 2 Porsche’s, both GT3’s....
Congratulations, didn't realise you secured one in the end!OPC’s know very well that GT3.2 is a bargain at list.

fished it out, I was a bit out (that's why I wrote IIRC)

"With that in mind another nice story from PEC last year. A group of people were all there together for a 'Just got a new Macan' driving day. Turns out their non-Porsche owning boss was desperate for a GT3 RS. OPC says he can't have one as he needs to have ordered at least 15 new Porsches before he'll be considered. So he does just that. Orders 15 Macan's on the spot. Gave away the complimentary driving days to his staff. Oh, and he also got the RS. biglaugh"

Well he went to the wrong OPC. At this OPC the customer who got a GT3 and GT2RS apparently spent £1 million in 12 months and another customer spent a similar amount in 6 months to get a GT3 and GT3RS allocation. The Macan chap missed out on a GT3 loloriginal quote:

Well, I can only speak as I find. Been buying Porsche cars for a very long time. Many of those from Porsche Sutton. Can say without any hesitation that the level of service that I have received not only from the sales team but also the service Dept has been as good as it gets.
Unfortunately i havent been in a position to buy new Porsche for many years. I know Porsche Sutton very well though. I used to stand outside the old site on Chester Road, in the middle of the night more times than i care to remember, in the mid/late 90's. The security officer used to think i was crazy standing there in the pouring raining staring at the 928's, 964's and 993's dreaming of owning a Porsche one day!
Can't fault the service team. Since we started using them in the mid 2000's for work on older cars they have always been very good.
Sales team over the 4 years or so i have bought new cars have been a mixed bag. I think they've had 4/5 DP's in that time and i've dealt with the same number of sales people. You can work out my feelings towards the new management team and their sales tactics!

This is the thing with people ranting about OPC's or any dealer. People are always going to have bad experienes....unfortunately it does happen...but equally lots of people have very positive experiences.
My acid test is what happens if something goes wrong...everyone makes mistakes but all about how they fix them. The OPC I use is great, best dealer of any make/brand I have ever dealt with.
Yes, Silverstone have a very good reputation. A guy i know who lives a couple of miles from Sutton OPC uses them instead of going to Sutton and he and his family buy a number of cars annually.My acid test is what happens if something goes wrong...everyone makes mistakes but all about how they fix them. The OPC I use is great, best dealer of any make/brand I have ever dealt with.
