The best way to start 2012 must be to buy a 996 Turbo "that will never lose any money" and "will put a smile on your face every morning" and "a cheeky grin when another 911 pulls up alongside" !

at £50,000 I would have thought you'd be guaranteed to lose money just by looking at it !

Are they really adding a 100% premium for it being white...?!?

Looks like owned by the dealer based on the number plate.

Barge pole comes to mind...

Well if that's never going to lose any money then I am sure the nice man will guarantee to buy it back off you for what you paid for it in two years time smile

I'd want money OFF because it's white.
White's not a good look.

And yet there are mugs who will find that ad appealing.

Looks nice in white I think, but no interior shots and the rest of the ad is a joke. Shame

If it comes with the numberplate it might just be worth it!

I watched a 786* numberplate go for in excess of £25,000 at a DVLA auction.

  • It has a special significance in Islam as it relates to Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim written in Arabic ('In the name of God' in English I believe).

I was reading the thread a few days ago discussing the garage well known for adding a few k for the honour of buying their cars and the opinions divided between "good on the garage for getting off their arses and making some money in this climate" and the other side of "their taking the piss out of clients and being greedy".

I'm all for people doing their best to make money, it's a buyers market so I would expect any buyer to haggle hard and ultimately decide if a deals worth taking.

This advert is in a different league though, I think it's verging on disgusting and I would probably discount looking at any future adverts if that's the kind of people they are. God help any newbie who took a seller at his word they could potenetially be stung for 25k just driving off the forecourt. I wonder if the trades misdescriptions lawyers could tie them up on that advert?

Yeah that's the one I was thinking of, I'm sure it wasn't for sale at Doncaster in the summer though?

Funnily enough, I think blue interiors are horrendous, metropole especially but that maritime or marine blue goes really well with that car & the exclusive white bits.

Not to everyone's taste I'm sure but not too bad either smile

Does that mean, if I get mine wrapped in white, I'll be able to double the asking price? idea

Or does that mean I will also still be trying to sell the bd thing months and months (or even years) after I wrote the advert? biggrin

Just read this thread and it's hilarious that I knew exactly what ad we are talking about!!!
These guys really do take the piss, read a few of their ad's and they are full of sh@t on every one. A mate of mine wanted to buy a motor from here and he drew my intension to the dealer. I felt I had to advise against the purchase of Q7 that was £8k over its true value and show him some much better deals. It wasn't hard as they had another Q7 with exactly the same BS which totally contradicted the other ad. It amazes me that people still fall for this.
It's all very amusing all the same
