Recommendations for selling a Cayman S in Berkshire?
Discussion
Hello,
I'm looking to sell my 2009 Cayman S PDK. I'm based in Reading, Berks and was wondering if anyone would like to recommend dealers I should contact.
I've looked at the 'Specialists, sales and servicing' topic and going to ring round a few people but looking for advice.
Would appreciate Private messages or replies here based on what the forum rules allow.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks all, I appreciate you taking the time.
Stirlings: I've sent you more details about my car by email.
Porkupine: I've got in touch with RSJ now but they are only looking for Cayman S’s with a certain wheel size at present.
Sundayjumper: I've called Northway and they've promised to get back to me.

Seems weird to specify only 19" wheels... surely they can shift cars with 18" alloys at the right price. To say "no" to all 18" cars seems rather odd to me.
I think Joel at RSJ is of the opinion that most people want 19" wheels on them as when I spoke to him last year about taking my Cayman in px he said he valued it at what he did as he would have to put a set of 19's on it to sell it. doneitnow said:

That's what I would expect. The more undesirable Cayman's with 18" alloys are obviously going to be worth less but at the right price, they will still shift them. To say they are not interested at all is rather confusing.
I still find it a bit strange as handling has to play a part and plenty say they prefer the ride on 18's, its not all about looks IMHO! doneitnow said:

If the 993 is anything to go by the larger the wheel size the crappier the ride.....I think this applies to most cars and add low profile tyres into the mix and it's even worse....If I were buying a cayman I would be looking at the smaller wheel size as my preferred choice.

It looks like 911Virgin don't have a problem with buying/Pxing Caymans with 18" wheels either as they have one for sale.+1 on Virgin 911 in Uxbridge....great guys with whom to deal.
For what it's worth, when I bought mine, I decided on the standard 18" wheels based on the following advice from the Porsche salesman and friends.
1. People buy bigger wheels because they think they look nicer.
2. Bigger wheels/lower profile tyres would spoil the ride with no benefits for handling.
3. Lower profile tyres would be much more expensive to buy when you need new tyres.

I think the moral of this story is: there's nowt as queer as folk...1. People buy bigger wheels because they think they look nicer.

My Cayman is on standard 18" and frankly the ride is uncomfortable enough at low speeds in potholed towns on those!

This is exactly it, people are fickle. The majority of buyers want the 'Look' and 19" wheels is critical. My last two Boxsters were on 19's and the ride was horrible on rough terrain (UK roads).My Cayman is on standard 18" and frankly the ride is uncomfortable enough at low speeds in potholed towns on those!
