Seems priced accordingly to season.

Anyone know the car?

one of the lowest prices on the PAUCL, but also one of the highest mileage.

started at 70k about 8 weeks ago.

they will probably deal.

there was an aqua blue (press car) at Reading for similar money but about 10k more miles .. that seems to have sold within a week.

Not a bad spec either, but even at this mileage it's barely run for this engine type? Haggle a bit more and drive off happy with 2 years OPC Warranty smile

I would have thought that any reasonable dealer would be keen to sell a car in December being an end of qtr etc and a 'slow' month for car sales? I'd advocate a cheeky offer having inspected/driven the car and be firm (I know its difficult when you have had a good test drive etc!) in your negotiations with them. BTW, politely decline any paint protection 'offer' unless it is FOC wink

Just exactly how does 16K miles in 3 years count as "high" mileage? It would almost fit in the limited mileage of classic policy at this level, and 5K a year is easily doable with only summer driving.

Apart from the fact that cars don't like being garage queens, these seems like a perfectly decent mileage to me confused

The advert description sounds very un-Porsche like.

'...body coloured bumpers....'
