Ah, the old 'made an offer on a rare and expensive sports car but decided within a matter of days to buy a saloon car instead' chestnut. Annoying when that happens
Ahhh that's Bournemouth, that's where my car is from. Who was you're sales contact?
The aero kit is a huge plus in my opinion but it seems a fairly low / medium spec car for the money to me.
They are not too bad to run to be honest, I'd say it's cheaper than a M Series BM or RS / S Audi to service etc....
However, you'll be looking at the first gen cars which are starting to get a little old now and may need extra work doing to replace tired components. Just make sure you go in with you're eyes open as a engine rebuild will cost more than the car is worth.

Lol it's not quite like that. Geneally i think I want to settle with a GTS 991 and a Panamera and I would need to sell both my cars for that to happen. The total sale price of my 2 cars will be more or less the same as the 2 cars. However the 5k grant will come to a end in a few days so it makes sense to order the Panamera now. I also managed to get a very large discount.
I still want a GTS but they will wait until the right one comes up.

I don't remember the name. It's the first time I called them and they are not someone I have had dealing with before.
The spec is actually not bad. It's around 18k worth of options.
In a ideal world I Would find a car with LED headlights, ACC, 18 way seats and Burmester.

Do the LED headlights make a upgrade over the Xenons? As the PDLS ones on mines are the best headlights ive ever had.
What what I read it's a nice upgrade but not nice enough For me to spec it.
Today I locked down the spec. Saved 15k on list price which I'm pleased with. Having said that depreciation is really really bad on these. The last one I got had dropped 35k on its list price in one year. Crazy
If the tax saving and gov grant is removed I can't imagine anyone ever buying one as its not that fast or good on fuel.
Also he has more or less promised me a GT 911 when the next one is due as part of the deal. Deposit will be down soon so there is a good chance I will get one.

Why are you buying one then?!
It works for my needs very well. I actually quite like it but I can see why it's not the best car however there is no congestion charge, a lot of tax savings and big discount which brings the cost of ownership down to a more reasonable level.
Sounds awful, I'll take your place.
hehe I love free stuff
They are talking up to a stately home for lunch which should be nice.

You swine, you have got to love a freebie.
Its done!
Oddly they have not phoned about payment yet, so ill pop by the dealer tomorrow to make sure I get the invoice before my new insurance kicks in next week.
I've even notice that the Sports Chrono lights up now, that's something it never done before.
One Happy Chappy.
