Guards 997.2 GT3 at OPC Bolton

[Ian_UK1]

Does anyone know anything about this Guards Red 997 GT3 3.8 at Bolton OPC?

http://www.porschehost.com/ApprovedStockIframe.asp... - page 3 of the list

I'm looking to change my car in a couple of months' time and the GT3 is top of my shopping list. This one appears to have been 'stuck' at Bolton for the best part of a year. I was wondering if there's some kind of story as to why, or whether it's a car I should be looking at.

Thanks in advance for any info.

It's been posted about on here before. I've lusted over it in the showroom, I think it looks amazing.

The potential issue (if any) may have been that the first service was late IIRC.

I would have thought that purchased from them with the back up of a 2 year warranty there would be little to worry about, I'd have it tomorrow if I could afford it.

Some might say it has the wrong seats as a reason it's stuck.

Perfect spec for me, though.

Low mileage car with 2 years warranty & that manual box - compelling.

I've seen it in the showroom. Looked nice enough to my untrained eye!

We were in the showroom on Thursday and I asked same question.

Apparently, they took it off sale for a while but then the buyer had some problems sorting finance so now it's back again.

For those who haven't seen it in the metal, it's in truly as new condition and if it had buckets (for me essential in a GT3)....I would find it impossible to resist

I know car as have driven it!

I went to buy it 3 weeks ago but found dealership a disgrace imo. Might of been one off but was treated in total shambolic way. I've heard it's missed first service. It did drive okay, slight pull to left, probably road camber.

Hope goes well

Really sorry to hear you had such a bad experience :-((

Bolton is my local OPC and have always found them to be excellent. Very professional, friendly and customer focused.

If you feel you were not treated properly on this occasion, suggest you write to them (if not done so already).

Anyway, good luck with the GT3 search, hope to be doing the same in a couple of yrs

Bolton have always done their best to look after me, I suspect they would be surprised and disappointed to hear your view.

With trips to the PEC and various other invitations, they make me feel like a VIP . When I spend money with them, they have always been completely professional.
