Sytner group?

I think it's so they can 'offer' 5.9% by way of a discount so you're getting a 'great' deal without too many other discounts.

Approved BMW & Mini are at 10.9% and that's in the showroom AND the BMW website. Makes 8.5 seem like a bargain!!
my offer from Solihull 3 years ago on my Boxster GTS was 10.9%, I laughed in their face, and through contacts outside the dealer managed to get a special rate of 5.9%, but the dealership were never going to offer it me, they couldn't understand what my issue was with the 10.9!

OPC's do have flex to offer better finance especially if you already have finance on a current car.

With base rate only 0.25%, 5.9% is hardly a deal to jump at!

Pics of demo car my mates in. GT Silver. -10 Suspension. PCCB's. GTS interior pack in platinum. RWS. PDK. LED Lights. Pics don't do it justice - looks sublime in the flesh / on the road.

That does look good, there have been a few posted and each time I see GT Silver I think it looks stunning. Trouble is, I have just swapped out of a GT silver 911S and said I wanted a different couloir for a change, but then again........confusedbanghead

Why is it choosing a colour is harder than learning to speak French?? I have literally gone round in circles on this!

deffo had RWS and -10mm Sus - the literature / build spec was in the boot - you could also tell clearly because it sat quite high at the front. Car drove fantastic on -10 but personally I'd go for -20mm. Rear windscreen wiper looked st. Fantastic bit of kit though and definitely hard to better for the money.

bloody hell glad you said that, i wasn't gonna spec RWS as i was so impressed at the handling, didn't think it was needed! now i've got to try a -20 one see if i can get it on my drive as well!

Congratulations on your new arrival Gorsh, another stunner. Your number plate looks a bit odd if you don't mind me saying with the dots between the letters/numbers (presumambly you fitted it after leaving the dealership?) and it's an unusual configuration - I'm intrigued!

Thanks. They are Isle of Man plates, the hyphen between letters and numbers is the official format. I had them made and the OPC fitted them.

Guards says motorsport, Carmine says "I'm 50+ and just bought a 911 convertible in something else than silver or black". No offence to any of the owners.
Non taken. I've seen Carmine and Guards next to each other in person, and Guards to me is just very normal looking, where as Carmine has more depth.

tuffer said:
Guards says the owner likes Guards Red, same with Carmine or any other colour. It's called choice.
Yes, agreed - my point however was that some of the photos I've seen of Carmine are not representative of the colour at all. Of course people are entitled to their own opinion and choice, but at least base it on how the colour actually looks!

Brewster Green really doesn't work with the satin wheels and hoop IMO - don't like the look of that!

Agreed, Silver or matt aluminium for both would have been far better.
