Phew, I'm surprised it was out of Parrs premises long enough to record a lap time!

I think i'll stick with GTone and Byfleet for the odd bit of work

[DiscoColin]

To answer the question in the title of this thread - no. A set of tyres for a Veyron cost >£14000 IIRC, and all other associated costs scale up similarly.

been sniggering behind the scenes at this all week.. not the best publicity for parr me thinks.

quite a few of those bills have left me scratching my head. 2K for brake pads and an oil/filter change?

£677 just to check the susspension???????



2004 Parr Oil/filter change /pagid pads Cost £2030

2004 Parr Checkover/suspension Cost £677

Parr wanted over £1200 plus vat to replace some plastic clips on my 993 Targa roof.

I went to my cheaper local garage and got it done for £180. Thanks, Paragon.

hilarious ad!
Nice car though!

2008 Parr Sliding side window kit fitted Total Invoice Cost £6355

[HAB]

2006 Parr Replaced gearbox mounting Total Invoice Cost £13989.

Pardon?

[sportsandclassic]

There must be a fair amount more work that is not listed under each section....... Surely?

[Digger90]

Frankly, that kind of list would just put me off. If it's cost that much so far, what will it cost to own over say the next 5 years, even if you didn't have any new goodies added?

He could have bought a new 911 for £82k and still had a very, very nice GT3.

What a tw@t.

And come on... £2,030 for an oil + filter change plus pads? Even if they're Pagids.. yeah, right. Gimme a break!

Obviously some buyers may be impressed by the ability of the previous owner to spend ludicrous amounts of cash, apparently that's not too difficult to do with Parr..

Parr ? More like a hole in one!

Parr or Paragon? Completely different places. Or did you mean that Paragon are your local garage?
