Camtune City - decent dealer after a nightmare day

[Lambojim]

Just sold my 996 Targa to these boys...based near Canary Wharf, and I'd recommend them to anyone looking at 993-996 second hand. Really professional set up and were fair with me....on the way to sell it on to them (Gallardo arrives tomorrow) I managed to stumble across the path of a mad motorcycle courier who, at 60mph, scuffed the front spoiler. All this on the way to sell the bloody thing. I can only imagine the spanking I would have taken at an OPC with this terrible chain of events. Dealt with scott Kavanagh who is ex - OPc anyway.

So if you thinking of diving into Porsche ownership, these guys seemed OK.

if you dont mind me asking, what price did they give compared to the OPC ie the difference

[Lambojim]

£3500 difference from best bid from OPC. They were honest about the fact they retail it at shade over £50k and take £2000 out of it. Not great but could have been worse!

Adrian and I have had many dealings with Camtune over the years - mainly Godalming, Surrey site - professional outfit and well worth a visit.

I fell out with them & I'd still reccommend them !

[silver993tt]

So, do you recommend them for doing proper services on a 993 turbo?

Sorry to be stupid, but is that £3500 more than the OPC, or less?

I've have used both sales and service at Godalming,excellent service...I would certainly recommend Camtune.

Why would someone get two offers for their car and then sell it to the lower one

[lambojim]

Camtune bid me £3500 MORE than OPC!

[laingy]

Is yours the one with 15000 miles on the clock?

[lambojim]

Thats it! They dont wast any time those lads!

[laingy]

So guess they are willing to knock 2k off the price

[lambojim]

I'm pretty sure you could do a deal at £50k, yes. Tempted?

[laingy]

Always tempted, just convincing the wife, may pop down there later today

[batster]

I bought one three weeks ago, a 996 Targa and they were generally good to deal with, esp Scott.

Car itself was beautifully prepared by them but they were very reluctant to do much of a deal. Felt slightly peeved therefore when I saw one advertised at a OPC in sunday Times for 3K less with similar miles -just hope spec was crap and it was a bad colour

IF I don't get it serviced at an OPC (it has been) going forward, am I likely to get a kicking when I trade it in? Any views?

Ah, just buy her some Jimmy Choos, she'll come round to your way of thinking.

[abarber]

I bought a 993C2 from Camtune city a month ago. Really impressed so far with the service.

Car is fantastic too.

not as easy as one pair of jimmy choos, so far we have got to a house in the country and a horse
