All day test drive cancelled

Pretty inevitable really, I had an all day test booked with Sytners for tomorrow in an M40i from a good few weeks ago while they found one available. Shame, I was really looking forward to it and the weathers spot on for the top down all day but a very very first world problem so it’ll have to wait until........well who knows....?? Probably next year now I wouldn’t be surprised. After LOTS of deliberation decided on black body with cognac interior when it happens, at least that’s settled at last.......until I change my mind..... :roll: :lol:

Stay safe y’all. :driving:

Ah that's a pisser. :(

Latest for me is that Porsche are closing to all customers from tonight but remaining open for handovers so it may still happen yet!

Arguably you know you’re going to like it... so maybe there’s a +20% off list deal to be had if you get the thumbscrews out

Ugh...
 
Sorry to hear that OP, but I got an E-mail from Sytner earlier to say they are closing all their showrooms at close of play tomorrow other than for collection of cars already ordered.

And will be closing their workshops once all jobs booked in are finished with just some staff to sort cars for key-workers.

At least if you wait until they reopen properly I imagine the car will be considerably cheaper, and at least you have some toys while you wait!

Smilar thing my Porsche was in for service on Friday , started chatting to salesguy (same one who sold me current car) about GTS 4.0 and eventually it turned in to a proper proposal I knew there would be some delay as factory was already closed asked him to let me think about it over weekend then dealer closed Monday for indefinite period and sadly I have nothing in writing , oh well as mentioned (very) first world issue

Like rocking horse dump Andy... :roll:

The red is fine but doubt I could live with a white interior, plus it’s missing the technology pack which is another “Oh I simply must have it toy”... :oops:

Thanks for the shout though....mucho appreciated. :thumbsup:

Just do better next time.... :poke:
