OPC Boxster test drive

[boxster9]

Iam thinking of buying a boxster and would really like to test drive one. I have seen that a few of you have been able to get a 24hour/weekend test drive from an OPC...how would one go about this....any tips. I live close to Silverstone OPC.

I would have thought that only people that have bought several cars already from Porsche, would be offered the 24hr test drive. I can't imagine if you just walked into the OPC without knowing them, that they would offer you a 24hr test drive. I may be wrong though -- Can someone else confirm this?

Pop down to see your OPC and they should be able to arrange it, but there may be a booking period.

The scheme is run by Porsche Cars GB and it is designed to get new owners into Porsches.

They also do Test Drive Plus with a driving consultant - usually a racing driver.

There is no obligation, but obviously they will hope you buy a car from them as a result.

So I can go down to my local OPC and just ask for a weekend test, and they'll book it in...is it that simple? What would the waiting time be for this?

Should be, subject to availability.
