A shame about no Xenons, but nice nonetheless.

Px thing. I bought an Exige form an Audi garage the same way. Sold three years later for more than I have for it. Great way to buy a car, but a rare opportunity

I phoned and it's now been moved from Stratstone Land Rover Solihull to Stratstone Porsche Sutton Coldfield. I'm waiting for a call back on if the price it was for sale at the Land Rover garage is being carried across, or if Sutton are gonna whack 5K-7K on the price in line with current(ish) values.

I guess Land Rover have no idea of the true value. Expect it to be at OPC for £43+ in the near future...

That's about right given cost of any prep required, warranty plus margin.

Some cost of prep but there should be a good 1.5-2yrs warranty left anyhow... So I would say there is a pretty good margin for them to play with and that's assuming they paid £35k from the original dealer also?

Still, could be a good deal if the OPC are willing to negotiate down on some of that profit margin for a quick sale?

Have they no idea how to use the internet and look at asking prices of other cars?! Not exactly an obscure classic is it.

if they had it up for 35k they did not pay 35k for it did they ;-)

more like 32k

as for prep and warranty, the car already has warranty and prep is a quick wash on a car that new,

I have talked to the OPC and he said it was good value, I said it was at 35k but not now at 40k
it's not got , sports exhaust, xenons, leather dash or PCM which are all my fav choice options.
then you have to ask if a PDK car will be harder to sell on a Cayman R (imo yes) so it's not for me at 40k

I bet if you went in with a car with no PCM or sports exhaust they would tell you every one wants those and offer a crap trade bid on it.

It's also done more than Ave miles in Porsche speak which they state as 8k a year and this car is on about 17k miles

Not that many cars on the Porsche website, and cheapest one is £40k, but no air con. Has Ceramics though.
