I have always wanted to have a 911 turbo and recently have started to look for one. I have seen a few '08 plate cars from independents advertised, I would prefer a low mileage, and these seemed around my price range. I then read a couple of threads on here about problems with some dealers and dodgy cars and suddenly started getting cold feet. Any advice welcome about how to protect myself from some of the scenarios described here. Porsche main dealers seem to have a big mark up and are not attractive, and also I visited one a few years ago and did not feel welcome.

If you want piece of mind just stick to the trusted indys like 911 virgin, JZM and RSJ. Some of them do maintenance plans too.
