Was due to put a deposit down on a lovely Midnight Blue Turbo local to me this afternoon - phoned up to say I would be a bit early, and was told that the bloke who's finance was refused earlier this week had had it accepted by another company frown

Got fed up with being buggered around by independent dealers, as well travelling 120 miles to see a so called minter in St Albans, which was a bit tatty

So popped down to Porsche Centre Mid Sussex and found this little beauty...







...ok, so it was a few quid more, but has flawless paintwork, immaculate interior and has only done 12k miles - not many for a 1 owner 03 car!

Having driven three Turbos this week, I can honestly say this one was in a totally different league, it is so tight and rattle free - even smells like new!

So deposit left, and it's mine as soon the DVLA return my BMW's V5 (putting the plate on retention) smile

It really could be a brand new car - so yep, in my experience OPC is worth the extra

That looks absolutely stunning. I am not sure how to feel about this post - I am in the process of hunting down a TT (basically the one you have just bought), so on one hand I am very happy at the reduced competition! on the other hand, you got one and I ain't!

May I be so bold as to ask how much you ended up coughing up?

Congratulations, as I said that looks brilliant.

It's still on the OPC website - you'll see their prices are a few grand more than independent dealers, but the overall condition was so much better than the others I've seen.

It has had the front PU resprayed, and there isn't a single mark or ding anywhere on the bodywork, and the peace of mind of a full PSH, one owner, just serviced, warranty etc. made me happy to pay the extra.

And I couldn't wait any longer smile

Well Done mate..

She look lovely, heard a lot of good things about Mid Sussex (OPC), My friend bought his 996 TT from there, and the after care is A1.

If there near to you, may see you driving around.. Don't live to far away.. If you see a MK1 GT3 flash and wave, don't be shy!

Well done again.
