Does anybody know what this was up for?

I was looking at that last night and I think it was £79,995 or maybe I am getting forgetful and it was the red car at jzm that was that price!

[pete.g]

It's the one in the aircooled thread - still links to original ad at £64995.

Every time I think 911Virgin are greedy with over priced stock they prove me wrong by selling the car straight away.

You can list by price on their site which gives an indication of where it was priced.

Purchased from them recently, very good experience, would happily buy from them unseen.

Indeed. I think 911V are a decent outfit and are reasonable and flexible on pricing. IMHO dealers are much better off making a small profit promptly than vainly holding out for more and not getting the car away. Being the priggish type, I contact dealers with a helpful 'I told you so' when they long subsequently sell cars for less than I offered them when first advertised. Similarly, I tip my hat when going for a test drive and finding the previous chap getting out and writing a cheque, irritating though it is.

I think the number of 'deposit taken' cars on their website, especially in one of the quietest months of the year, indicates how busy they are.

They they do keep it up to date so it's not a case of leaving old adverts up to generate calls.

Yeah-true- .and Paragon Porsche sometimes have cars listed for sale for bloody months at top whack prices.....

I must say though-on the 911Virgin website the silly video on the home page is just terrible-
They could have had an informative video regarding their business /set up /sales prep - instead the entire video is an aerial
view of their sheds and premises ??! Most people in the western world know what a shed roof looks like.......

I think they're proud of what they've achieved and showing you what they have. Henry bought that land before he was 30 and did all that setting up from scratch.

I like the setup and guys a lot. They're John Lewis. Not harrods. And not house of Fraser.

Everyone who deals with 911 Virgin speaks highly of them- I don't doubt they have done well and should feel rightly proud of what success they have achieved- but I still feel a video entirely of shed rooftops on the property is unnecessary -

I think it's quite clever. Not flashy, shows they are a substantial real business, with real stock, neat and tidy. It's all positive and reassuring. Perhaps they could have done more but not a bad first effort.

I don't run a car dealership so I'm the wrong person to ask, but the most important thing on that website is the stock page. I found the purchasing guide helpful as a newcomer and I think it'd be worth updating, but otherwise the rest of it is by the by.

Depends on how much they buy the cars in for. Of course they are there to make a profit but as mentioned before, in my experience there doesn't seem to be much difference in their(indies) offers for a well looked after car that needs no work or a pile of crap.

Having sold a car to 911V, I was very impressed with how keen they were to establish that it was a good car.

I've dealt with / bought from them.

Decent chaps, straight forward, their cars are priced pretty fairly IMO.

[kevs 172]

I have bought and sold several cars with them and they have always been excellent.
