Interested and have emailed but got no reply which is disappointing.

I just have a bit of a 'bad feeling' about the dealership if they aren't interested in replying to a sales enquiry.

Opinion of price too?

They clearly think they've got something more than they actually have.
They have an ex-Porsche GB press car. ooh.
I would trawl through the classifieds, find cars of similar age and mileage and work out whether the price was fair or not. I'd say it's about 2 -3k over current money, even at what is a fairly towards-the-top-end spec, but best check to be sure.

Yes it does set alarm bells off. I really like the cocoa leather though.

Obviously each to their own and all that... but i had a look at a GT-silver car with Cocoa leather thinking i would like it. I was disappointed tbh with the brown interior in the flesh. But then i also like red leather too smile

My last car was GT Silver/cocoa. I think it looks great. I also like red leather, so me and Phucker overlap a wee bit smile

I had my heart set on that colour scheme and it took me two years to find one in the spec I wanted (manual C2S, no sunroof, Sport Chrono etc.). So if you like it, it checks out and the dealer is better than he sounds I would go for it.

Surely as an ex press car, despite it being so rare, it has been thrashed around within an inch of its life by all and sundry.

There must be enough of these around that you don't need to buy these well used examples.

Why do some of these guys insist on wording their adverts in capitol letters and then talking complete BS in the process.

I wouldn’t discount a good car on the basis of a dodgy dealer.

A dodgy dealer would just make me EXTRA careful, thorough and diligent in making my checks
(in fact, generally speaking, you might be safer buying a car from a potentially dodgy dealer as you will have left no stone unturned, whereas with a safe dealer, you’re more likely to be trusting on a few aspects)

Unfortunately that seems to apply to most dealerships/car salesmans these days.

^^This.

I probably wouldn't touch it on this basis. Nothing to do with the dealer.



At least they are honest about it - was there not a chap on here that bought a boxster/cayman from OPC only to later discover photos of it in various magazines doing countless 'enthusiastic' cornering shots etc?
Wasn't best pleased....
