'Featured car'

So I attended a Total 911 Photo shoot a few weeks back and this car was part if the shoot.
The ad says 911 &PW so I guess it was used on the 996 series shoot they done too.
I was a passenger in the car for part if the day and I have to say it drive very well.
The presentation wasn't good but handling etc felt spot on.
Dunno what they want for it but with an inspection it may not be a bad purchase.
Only thing I could fault it on was the rear boot lid didnt seem to sit in line with the rear quarter panels but that could be a simple adjustment fix.

Jeez. I don't think I've ever read anything related to buying a car quite like that. I had serious issues with an opc car 2yrs back and so I'd never use them again but if I'd have pushed the point I'd have git a refund

Funny how HWM pops up quite a bit, never in a good way!

I have some evidence that the red GT2 with "low miles" is anything but.

I find it astonishing that companies like this and a certain trade centre in Keighley get away with it, unbelievable really!

Couldn't find that on their website.

Why are they allowed to continue to trade?
Feel for the guy who bought the Turbo and hope he gets what he's entitled to.

.. Interesting to see how leopards don't change their spots isn't it..!
I have 1st hand experience of dealing with this lying scrote from pre-PH days, he will never be able to tell the truth so long as he's got a hole in his ass.. this story is no more than I would expect.

I'm amazed that (a) they are still in business, and (b) he's still able to walk.

He must get lucky with the people who buy his cars, I know a few people who would have walked around the showroom with a sledgehammer taking out panels on every car if they tried those tricks on them.

Did you buy the white one with pcm3?

And if some of the threads on here about HWM are true, why are they still allowed to advertise on PH?

By accepting those HWM adverts, PH is continuing to condone HWM business practices.

Makes one wonder if any other businesses regularly advertising on PH have similar business ethics to HWM.

Or maybe PH management dont care either way as long as the advertising revenue comes in?

Pretty much all of the car mags are guilty too then. In fact, one of the porsche mags featured them singing their praises!

Its the real world im afraid.

That atlas grey GT3 has been for sale at HWM for a LONG time.

I know someone who had experience of buying a car from them and whilst the car is a great example the least said about everything else about the deal the better.

No I didn't even look at that one. Seeing a very similar one this weekend.

They actually feature them TWICE in short succession and blew smoke up there areses. Given there rep it beggers belive that so called jouranlists don't do some basic checking before bigging up a bunch of shysters.

Mind you they do it time and time again, there is another one near me that barge poles shouldn't touch and they got bigged up too in a feature.

I don't think it went anywhere ..... thought it a windup to begin with, but it seems they were interested and ligit.

Another one with 'low miles' then

I remember a white one doing the rounds with some mileage correction about a year ago.

Wow just read that post.. my god.
It does sometimes amuse me that people will go along with anything a dealer says. "Drive it for a month and the fault will go away".... ALARM BELLS!!!
At that point it would have gone straight back, and I would have asked for a full refund.
Crazy!!!
