Are OPC's now offering test drives or is it sold as seen?

Nope you spend 4k more when you spec the car so it sells easier. not 16k

Obviously referring to the current prices, not those of the first purchase.

Scarcely a flipper!!!! I have put a good few miles on it now and its not floating my boat as much as I hoped.

Its a damn good car mind but just a bit too sanitized for me. I really do miss PDK. When it was launched without I very nearly pulled my order. Glad I didn't as I would have missed out on making my own mind up about it. It also "feels" a bit slow to me. Its not slow in absolute terms obviously, before I get shouted at again by all and sundry, but it just doesn't make the hairs come up on the back of my neck like it should. I still have the Race Car Cayman for the track and I have something else in mind to replace the GT4 but the delivery date has just gone back. Grrrr, and yes its got paddles.

"One is that blue GT4 with the horrible decal all over it"

Half an hour with a hair dryer and the decal is a distant memory. Bit rich having a go at us for flipping! How long would you like me to keep it before I bung it on the market, or alternatively should I price it at list just to keep you happy?






White car has more BHP at the wheels than the GT4 has at the flywheel plus its over 200KG lighter

Good luck with the sale - your car , do what you like .
I really liked how you individualised the car , right down to the yellow cage and black / yellow harnesses

Didn't mean to cause offence, bit strong on the wording for the decal but as you say, easily removed. It was more a point that the 'salesman' kind of put a damper on it immediately by saying it wouldn't be to the taste of most!

Not sure why it is a bit rich coming from me mentioning flipping, I've not flipped one, however, it was more directed in general and in this case, at the green car which clearly hasn't been used, versus yours which has at least stacked up some miles...if you wanted to maximise profits, you would of course avoided all the work and driving you've put into it. It is however a good tester to see where the market is on a properly used car, rather than a delivery mileage one. Best of luck with the sale.

Thanks
Agreed on the green car though!

To be fair Scooty, he hasn't sold up. He has mentioned in a previous post that he still has it...

The sea is calm at the moment!

Ahh gotcha. At least we got to the bottom of it in the end! All unnecessarily long winded

Fokker said:

Indeed not. I don't like the look or sound of him, makes me think typical car salesman... hate!

Hate? A car salesman trying to sell a car? A bit shallow...?

Ok hate is a bit strong, my apologies but I have to say, I just get that feeling. Call me an old dog with experience.

It may be, Jon in his username and no other posts in over 3 years would suggest too much of a coincidence

So what are they asking for Bigmowleys car? 110k?

how come he is selling up, any one know ? thought he loved it as a track car

Yes, good detective work! Bet you cant guess why the oo's? I know 'we' get a bit of bad press but I'm just an honest hardworking kid trying to sell what is in front of me... I don't decide prices of the metal but if I'm to feed me kids I got to peddle what I can. Surely I can't be called a baddie if someone has expressed interest in a certain product which I couldn't supply but now we have these examples available?
Oh, and I clearly ain't gonna make it in the movie production world - I know...

and the JZM one at 93k with one pretty similar spec with 100 miles at the same place is on for 99.9k.... I guess the owners need a quick sale or the market be a waning!
