Hi there - you're right - I've got nothing to worry about and I can see how this could sounds a bit crass if misconstrued.
& you're right, if I get one great and if not, so be it.
I guess I'm just having a giggle really - I thought various amusing posts about my trials and tribulations might raise a smile in the PH community - nothing more
You don't need to justify yourself R. Mr I tends to be negative under the guise of asking questions to just about everything. You're clearly a very genuine enthusiast and why shouldn't you want a GT3?!& you're right, if I get one great and if not, so be it.

So are a large majority of people financing their GT3?
I presumed that most would have been cash purchases, but having never bought a new GT car before I don’t know the protocol. I understand that it’s good to use someone else’s money, but at 5-7% APR is not be comfortable loading a large amount onto my new purchase.
Peering beadily over the dealer’s shoulder is VWFS. Gold stars awarded for finance, additional stars for returning finance. So take a bit of finance, let the dealer get his Gold stars then settle in full after the third monthly payment.

Got the call
I literally am Charlie Bucket with a golden ticket !
im going for metallic black pccbs CS leather, lift and a load of carbon on the inside 918 buckets and few other bits
A car for European touring - to Spa !!
Does anyone actually use cruise control ? And that gash in the middle of the dash , is it on the 'must have' list ?

Cruise control is a godsend IMO. I use it all the time on long european slogs and on our crappy UK motorway network. Simple matter of set and forget, makes for a far more relaxed drive as you are not constantly checking and adjusting your speed.
As for

Does anyone not use cruise control these days ? I have cruise control on all my current Porsches and the only one i find useful and relevant in the UK's ever more congested stop/start motorways is the ACC(Radar) on my new Panamera hybrid..I find the standard CC too much of a faff on our crowded motorways..

Is it actually 3 monthly payments though? I thought more like 6...?Tony 1234 said:

If you accept that taking finance is not really to do with funding but rather ticking boxes then what I can say is my dealer is happy with 3 payments before the finance is paid off. As it happens the balance owed to me on my trade in px was more than the cost of the new car so they gave me all my money back and then I took a smidge of finance. Kind of polar opposite of what Comrade McDonnell plans for the UK economy. AndrewD said:
