There are other threads on here from people asking the same question.

I bought from them. In short, I highly recommend them.

Bought a car from them last year at what I thought was a good price however soon after I felt it did need a new clutch so we came to an agreement and they paid half which I was happy with, also turned out later on it needed new rear coffin arms which I ended up paying for.

I think they buy a lot of stock from Porsche dealers who take them in px and don't want to retail themsleves.

In a nut shell they price their cars competitively but if you want immaculate low miles cars then they probably not for you, eyes open and want a deal then good people to deal with who recognise feedback is very important and happy to try and resolve issues. If find something you like then I'd probably get an independent inspection done also.

One of the good guys IMO. I've known the main man a long time. Way before he started Ashgood. A business that was born out of his passion for the Porsche marque.

Bought my 987 Gen II from them last June. They were very helpful, happy to talk details over the phone, and suggested a few of the cars they had in stock to meet my budget and requirements. Also mentioned stock they had coming in that might also be of interest.

Would happily buy from them again.

Mike is a great guy. Gave me a lot of advice on a car I bought from elsewhere for no benefit to himself.
I’d gladly buy / sell with him.

Was due to look at a GT3 they had in stock last autumn. I'd called earlier in week, but couldn't get down until the following weekend. On the Friday night I got a very apologetic email explaining that someone had walked into the showroom that day, unannounced, and paid a deposit for the car. Business is business; were I in their position, I would have sold the car too, and I completely understood. So... I've never bought from them but was quite prepared to and my discussions with them led me to trust them. Like the OP, I did ask around a bit at that time and the responses I got seemed positive.

I had a good experience. Bought my first Porsche from them. They were approachable, helpful and zero sales pressure whatsoever. There wasn’t a business suit in sight. I felt you could just browse with a tea and talk about Porsches all day. I felt the car had been checked fit for sale rather than just re sold on, perhaps as some might do. It came with new tyres and a major service along with some minor bits doing.

The other thing is I was flying in from overseas that week with work and whilst away was quite concerned I’d be gazumped biggrin. They said they did have quite a few phone calls but given I was flying in they’d felt it only right they give me the chance to view on the Monday first. They picked my misses and I up from the airport both when viewing and when later collecting the car which really helped. Made the experience of buying it quite special. I’d certainly use them again.

Good guys but they don't know the Porsche Marque as well as they should do IMO. Had look around one of their "original panel" cars. It had had a big impact Mike unfortunately wasn't even aware of. Honest bunch though and if you buy just get a good inspection before parting with cash and you'll be fine. Nice people.

I bought my Cayman from them 1.5 years ago. IMO found them to be the most un-pushy/hard sell car dealers I've ever met. They have also been helpful with follow up questions.
