Anyone have any dealings with this company? They advertise nice cars but seem to operate from an estate agency working out of Hotel Adlon.

Never heard of them, coupled with photos of their 'stock' taken from Motorshow stands and also offering a 250GTO.

Puts them well and truly in the joker category for me.

Rule of the higher end of the motor trade is that unless the car being offered is on site and the photo is taken in the same place as all the other stock its a scam or a chancer. The classifieds on here is full of such ads.

Thank you for your words of caution. They are offering a Septmber build slot for a 918 Spyder which I'm interested in but I'm not brave enough to send a deposit as requested.

Sorry, who's Dion?

No, the car can't be registered in Australia but I want to keep it in the UK or Germany.

It's a real shame that we could never see that in Adelaide frown

Dion is the fella that answered you above Dion = Elms
very nice guy who can source most top end stuff.
you may also want to try European main agents but thought they were all sold out long ago.

Yes, I believe all allocations are spoken for but 918 cars is a lot so I'm hoping some buyer will have a change of circumstance and sell their order. I'm watching mobile.de where I found the company in the thread title.

If you can get past the language barrier like I say my first port of call would be German main agents then maybe French.
Also dealership in Monaco worth a call.
I would have thought any non main dealer will be hoping for a mark up on the price.
As above someone like Dion well worth a call or email and would be aware of the current market situation.

^ Thanks for that advice. I'm happy to pay some markup but it needs to be sensible. It's probably safer to wait until there is an actual car in a showroom available and negotiate then.
