Solihull OPC have just called me to ask for a deposit on the GT4. I asked if the car had been officially announced and was told no but Porsche GB have told OPC's that they can take deposits. It could all be hype?

The deposit of £3000 was non negotiable.

Has anyone else been asked for a deposit?

I asked the salesman at Solihull what had changed. His reply:

"We were told late yesterday by Porsche GB that Boxster/Cayman GTS will be discontinued very soon to make way for the GT4. Because of this our management is now allowing deposits to be taken, as this is first time Porsche has officially acknowledged the new model." 15 Jan 2015.

Have read many different threads on new 911's new boxters and new caymans and people getting different information from different OPC's regarding the need for a deposit or their place on the list or even the spec of the car they are ordering I have come to the following conclusion - Porsche salesman know fk all and will do all they can to get money out of a customer!
Too right!

I have had them back on the phone now talking through finance and GAP policies! WTF - jumping the gun a bit - which I told them politely!
