Yes, I would have thought so, looks like the original buyer (dealer) has sold it to Swindon OPC, seeing as he's just aquired another slate grey one !

But I'm sure Pugsey will be along shortly to confirm it !

I think thats the first OPC I've seen with a mark up on original list price.

Ah well, make it while you can I suppose ?

Refered to "factory collection" option...

[Pugsey]

YES. THAT'S MY OLD CAR. Strange - sold it for £86,700 (list). It then appeared for £6k over list for a short while and now an OPC is selling for only £3k over list - which I guess they'd take an offer on. In fact given the rear tyres were close to needing replacing there's not much in it at all. Nice to see that no-one made a fat profit out of it! I think the days of premium GT3s are already passed! Hey maybe I'll offer them £84k!! Oh, and the factory collect option is completely used up!

Why, oh why couldn't it have been white ?!!

[Geneve]

I think it may have been taken in a part/ex deal, so there may have been additional profit in the outgoing vehicle.

Well unless they have owned it for a week before swapping it, then I don't think so ?!

If you read above, all will be revealed

I'm not following the factory collection points references. What does this mean? Why is it a negative?

I'll give you a clue : the car is for sale in Swindon. Where is the Porsche factory?

I guess I am just being thick Paul. Is this saying that they are erm.. muppets.. for advertising a factory collection option when that car is in Swindon already, rather than what I thought was being inferred - that factory collection cars are to be avoided.

I need to go back to bed I think.

By jove the boys got it! Yes that's right - it was my car which I collected from the factory back in Nov.'06 - when, of course, Factory Collection rightly appeared on the cars spec. list.

I was told by an OPC principal that they not allowed ( under the terms of their franchise agreement) to sell cars over list price.

I think that applies to 'new' cars (unregistered), not s/h ones that come back into stock ?!

[porsales]

Not allowed to sell any car at over list price, big fine from Porsche GB if you do!
