First post on this particlularly fine web site/bulletin board so please be gentle

Am scheduled to pick up new toy in next 7-10 days and would like any advise on good finance deals people know about, or have actually signed up to recently. If you are a provider of car finance please PM me and we'll talk off line.

New toy is obviously a Porsche (hence forum choice) and I want a bit of piece of mind that the stealer is not putting one over on me with regard to the quote they have provided so far. To be fair they did let me view the screen concerned and answered all my questions politely whilst providing their offer. However, always like to go into the final conversation with a card or two up my sleeve if possible and as I haven't borrowed money for quite a bit (apart from mortgage before you all think I'm loaded ) so I'm a little out of touch as to what is good and what is not.

Invoice value of car £49,500 and deposit of £10-11,000 available, would like a balloon (50% currently on offer) and 3 years payment schedule using balanced payments.

All replies gratefully received. I guess the above data gives away the new toy but will confirm it's Cayman 'S' just in case anyone is wondering.

Thanks in advance,

Yex

50% RV seems good - what model & year is the toy? Is it Porsche finance quoting?

Porsche tend to quote a 45% RV after 3 years and 40% after 4 years - IIRC !

What flat rate is the quote done at?

Iused Classic & Sports Finance for a recent 996 purchase and was really happy with their service and the deal I got.

you can get them on 07050 139381, no affiliation etc etc

They were particualrly adept at working late to get the money to the dealer in record time which meant I picked up my car early!!!

Blimey Ian... I don't think we've really seen each other since your wedding!!

Welcome to Porsche ownership

Quite a few SN ex-pats here!

Stuart P got rid of his for a C2 for a GranSport, but I'm in a C4. Mail me when you get the Cayman and we'll meet up for a pint.

Hello Mr C long time no speak, glad to know you are still alive and well out there . Have noticed a few user names I recognise from the SN days so will probably cross swords with them in the future.

Will gladly buy the first pint when the new toy arrives.
