I like a car up in OPC Leicester but I am 2 hours away down in London. Would it be possible to get London or maybe Reading OPC to strike a deal and bring this car down for me or would I do better dealing with Leicester directly? Only issue for me right now is getting up there as my calendar is chokha for the next 10 days..

Also - if something is circa £70k where should I be starting at in terms of negotiations?

Which car? Live in Tamworth. 30 miles away, but do business in Leicester area. Business nothing to do with cars. Do you want a look around. Sound out the price?
Tell me, see what I can do.

If they are owned by the same group it would be possible. Fairly sure Leicester is Sytner group and reading is AFN Porsche, not sure about London. HTH.

Leicester is Sytner, as is Mid Sussex (south of London).

Sytner's policy is that any of its Porsche dealers can sell any used car at any other Sytner Porsche dealer.

West London, Mayfair and Guildford as owned by Porsche GB. Porsche East London is Lancaster.

Deal with Leicester directly as you will get the best discount. Amount depends on whether that is new or used and what variant. Speak with Jas in sales he is cool and could help you out.

Thanks chaps - It's the Black C2s 991 @ just under £70k. Seems a good spec and not a bad price. Was hoping to go in at around £67k

Just a few words of caution when buying from an OPC some distance from you. The last 3 cars I have bough have all been used from OPC dealers more than 150 miles away from home. All 3 have had "issues" requiring attention after I purchased them. One dealer was very good and allowed my local OPC to fix and for the bills to be dealt with between the two garages. The other two insisted on the cars being returned to them which resulted in logistical problems in a busy work schedule and hundreds of miles being put on the cars by delivery drivers.

I have vowed only to buy local next time....... But then again it isn't so easy if the OPC doesn't have the spec that you want.

Great gesture and very refreshing to see some community spirit.

I thought West and East London were Jardine Motor Group (same as Colchester)?
