Usually they have a 4 week terms where the car will be returned.. this car has done the rounds on SOR probably not got anywhere to store it!

Well it's no longer on JZM's website and not on their sold page so I suspect the owner has given up....or perhaps seen how much one sold for at an RM Auction in the US and withdrawn from sale.

150 mile car estimated at $400k to $500k and sold for $590k plus comm last week !!!

That looked even more bonkers in light of other results, particularly the CGT which was only bid a bit higher

Jzm are having a laugh here at £525k aren’t they? Or is it 1st April? Surely there is a mutual agreement on sor forecourt price between seller and JZM? Or is this a game to try and get some unwitting buyer to offer something beginning with a 4 thinking they are getting a deal and the seller essentially gets the 375k net he wanted a few weeks back.
Maybe the seller has said JZM can have 10% of sale price rather than the usual £10k and therefore their eyes lit up and they are on certainly board with trying 525k idea why not!

This sort of behaviour really makes it hard to trust them doesn't it? I was at another Porsche specialist who mentioned that they are going round take the sports buckets out of a car and replace with standard seats as they are worth "around £4k".

Interestingly JZM don't seem to know how many owners that Sports Classic has had? Probably been flipped a few times and now an ornament with those miles. Is it possible someone bought it at the precious price, left it there then instructed them to whack up the price again?
