I'm currently in the market for a used 997 and although I would prefer to buy from an independent, all of the cars I am interested in seem to be at OPC's. My local OPC is Newcastle, but they don't actually have any cars that fit my requirements. They are insistent, however, that they can buy any car in from any other dealer in the UK Porsche network. I bought a Boxster from them a few years ago, so I have a history with them and have been happy with their service.
My concern with this is that I cannot see how they could possibly do a better deal than I could do on my own by going direct to the dealer who is selling the car, although my local dealer is adamant that this isn't the case. They really want me to call them first whenever I see a car I like (unsurprisingly).
Would really appreciate any advice in this area, as it would be a lot more convenient just to deal with my local OPC so I don't want to go to more trouble if I have nothing to gain! Having said this, I have no problem whatsoever travelling wherever I need to in order to get the best deal. :thumb:
Thanks in advance for any advice!
