Hi Andrew, saw your CGT at our local OPC yesterday, looked superb. They had it in the bay in the showroom on charge, so I suggested they turn it over to help speed the process but sadly they declined. Maybe I'll see it at the next event they run! Great to see the cars aren't just garage queens.

No 991 GT3RS's for sale in the Porsche Dealer network !

I would question how many classified ads are genuine.

None for sale via any OPC, or none listed on the locator?

Think as with the GT4 , all have been made to remove adverts - OPC's now can't advertise , but can sell cars over list as I understand it smile

They have to be careful - they can't talk about strategies to stop flipping with one hand, and be facilitating such sales on the other. Although some seem more than happy to display such hypocrisy.

I vowed never to set foot in your dealer again (another branch - not Tewkesbury) after they offered me a flipped 991 GT3 for £165k and a flipped RS for £295k (I had tried to order both through them but failed to make the cut). Both had "plausible" tales of why the OP was selling after a few hundred miles but the offers stank of opportunism and greed.

Wages for opc sales people and senior management too low. They're eyeing money akin to winning the lottery (for them) hence your unfortunate experience. Sadly more than a few of them at it and nothing Porsche AG can do about it. I wanted one but wasn't bothered at all when informed i could not have one. £150k to have tied up in a car you're going to use as track slag is quite a bit of money imo. Profit irrelevant if you are going to use as intended. ....i'll end up getting a 7GT2 or GT3 instead at some stage.
