I don’t see how the dealer didn’t take him seriously when they let the car go to another workshop at the buyer’s expense, and I don’t see a buyer tyre kicking when it costs $800 You’d be amazed at how far into things people go without following through. This is why the whole notion of a deposit exists in the first place. Not suggesting that mbedford was going to pull out of the deal, but dealers being in the business would have seen it all. At the end of the day money talks… James P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbedford Posted 21June, 2021 Report Share Posted 21June, 2021 Just to reiterate, at no point was I asked, or the subject of putting down a deposit was brought up. Sending the car to another workshop for 2-3 days for a very detailed independent PPI. at my expense., I think would show how serious I was. The fact the dealer sold the car it seems WHILST it was at the PPI, and didn't follow though with communicating to me, was the total immorality of the dealer. Yes next time I will insist to put down a refundable deposit subject to the outcome of the PPI. OK moving on, did you guys say this ones been called up and no luck him budging on price? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2010-porsche-911-gt3-997-series-ii-manual-my10/SSE-AD-6859416/?Cr=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to him told me had an offer of $300K and if that fell through he would call me . That was two weeks ago . I have had a .2 before they are not a $300K car for me .

pointy Posted 21June, 2021 Report Share Posted 21June, 2021 The black CS just listed in SA looks lovely. I guess >$300k for .2's are the norm now.. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2010-porsche-911-gt3-997-series-ii-manual-my11/SSE-AD-7287691/?Cr=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the seller is the guy I bought my 996.2 GT3 from...... great guy to deal with and a fanatical Porsche tragic........ the perfect guy you'd want to buy a Pcar off of, and can't imagine you'd find a better example. That said, agree with @wilson59....... certainly asking FULL price. spiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
