Hi everyone - I'm new to this forum but have been reading for a few weeks as I'm looking at buying a new Porsche Cayman (fell in love with the new shape when I saw it driving around a few months ago) from a dealer in the M25 area (I'll be buying on finance). I've a few questions and would be grateful for your experiences:

- which OPCs in and around London are the most helpful in terms of giving a good all round deal? Predictably, Porsche Mayfair don't seem to care, Porsche East London are loading on extras I didn't ask for in the financing, but Porsche West London seem to be talking the most sense. Is there any value in contacting others, and which ones do people have good experiences with?

- in terms of getting a sensible deal (am not expecting miracles), where is the best aspect of the deal to push - car price, financing (e.g. dealer deposits) or having extras thrown in?

- any other tips in the buying process? I have an ideal config I'd like to get, but am prepared (within reason) to take a stock car if the price is significantly better.

Sorry if the questions are a bit basic - this would be my first car (purely for weekend pleasure driving), so am learning a lot every day!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks everyone - really helpful! My negotiation skills clearly isn't quite as good as those who have secured 10% discounts! I think I will end up with a 5% discount on a built to order car bought on finance. OPC Mayfair were basically walking away at just below that level, though some other dealers still seem interested and should hopefully do a deal with OPC East London soon.

If that all works out - they are telling me the car would arrive Nov/early December, which works fine. In the meantime, have people been on and enjoyed the Porsche track day - is it just hard sell, or is it a fun day out?
