Has anyone bought from them?

This Turbo looks decent enough spec wise but I haven't heard much about dealer before.

A decent bunch, enthusiasts.

Just had an oil/filter change on the Boxster and they were great to deal with.

I have really bad OCD and my mind was at rest leaving the car with them.

I'll be using again for sure.

Not experienced the sales dept so can't really comment on that side.

Cheers

Bought my 996 C4S from them. Very nice car. 12 month no quibble warranty included (Didn't need it). 12 months after purchase Hartech in Bolton said my car was one of the best they had seen of its age. 911Sport appeared pleasant and knowledgeable. Their showroom and workshop are of a very high standard.

Any car coming out of there will be right and sorted without question. Their sales cars are prepared with a "whatever it needs" philosophy. Premises are OPC level.

You speak with a high degree of certainty. Are you speaking for them?

Purchased mine from them last December. Great guys to deal with and car has been fine in the 10k miles I've driven it - would use again!

As an aside, the Cayman they have is a slightly odd spec with grey leather, carbon interior bits and then tiptronic

No, but I've bought a 993 C2S, 964 turbo 3.6, and 996 GT2 from them, and had others serviced there.

I actually fell out with the owner over a completely unrelated issue so haven't been for a while, but that aside their cars are absolutely mint.

I've never bought from them but always use them for annual service and never had any issues. Their cars are prepared to a very high standard as far as I can see and they're always pleasant to deal with.

Think it was a one-off though so don't let it influence your decision too much!

As has been said above,the standard of preparation of sales vehicles is fantastic.I have bought 3cars from them and my son brings his C4S up from Essex for servicing etc.
Very nice premises and a good bunch of guys.

I know several people who absolutely swear by them and can't rate 911 Sport highly enough.

PS - that looks a fabulous 997T!

Agree, their cars always look very well prepared, however, used them once for a service and would never go there again. Was told I needed a new clutch...... went to Zentrum for a second opinion.... guess what.... ? I`m still on the same clutch five years later... hmmmmmmm

Just bought my first Porsche from 911 Sport. Went to them because I was aware of their good reputation locally. They found the perfect Cayman S for my budget and have been extremely helpful and professional. Nothing was too much trouble even going in person to the DVLA office to get my reg put on the car. Although the car is five years old it was prepared and detailed to look and drive like new, including a new MOT and a service even though neither was due! They have an impressive showroom and workshop and I have spoken to two other customers who cannot praise them highly enough. So it's all good as far as I am aware.

Agree 100%, Cobalt is such a stunning colour, I'm going to have to take a look at this one...

A poster on the "Should I? 996 C2. Lots to learn and hope I am not dreaming.." thread posted about the "upgrade walk"
Which is Oh so-true. I started out looking for a 996TT, then decided a 996TT S would be nice, and now I'm on 997TT.

I'd better get this one bought quickly before I end up on Gen2
