"I would like to order x car in x colour with x spec please. Here is my deposit and it will be a cash purchase".
The reply would be "your money is no good here and you can't have one"
"Couldn't give a toss, now f*ck off you are making the place look untidy".

That pretty much sums up my experience of looking at ordering a Boxster 4.0 GTS

Couldn’t have been made to feel more unwelcome if they’d tried

They very happily sold me my 911-50th, my first Porsche. They even dropped a couple of 911s off to try for a weekend, one PDK and one manual.

Only cos you told them you were the King of The Netherlands. They wouldn't have known you are not, would they? (or maybe you are!!)

Watching the review, I think I'd prefer a standard 40kg heavier version with the less-faff roof anyway

I think these cars, along with other 'final-ICE-run-out' specials feel almost designed to be unobtanium. Fit for people on the list already and for an instant £50k-100k mark up on the RRP.

718 Spyder RS, mind you it's 458 Spyder money....IF you could get one....still, it's a hell of a roadster...

arhhhh john, why did you have to post this...... why why why.... ive been ringing round the dealers for the last few weeks trying desperately to get in order on one of these, i think it would be last car purchase, a huge financial undertaking but i could JUST, make it happen..... i have to say it doesn't look particularly great in this shot, but every piece of my yearns for it! Despite buying 4 new porches it seems im not meeting the requirements for this which really sucks. i HATE their waiting list procedure and i genuinely feel these go to their mates where they get some nice kick backs when they sell on for 100k over list, absolutely terrible. Id cherish this thing!

I know mate...! I'm drooling like a blood hound on a rump steak....

Way out of my league right now so not even being close it's just another will never have 'Want' for me. I can imagine your frustration though if one is within reach, you'll get one at some point, but it'll be 2nd hand and north of £180k I'd imagine.

let me be brutally honest, i could scrape it id have to sell all the other cars to make it happen.... use it as marketing exercise for ppf etc and let work help ... BUT.... it would be a basic spec, and i wouldn't be able to add any extras at all, lol but i could make it work..... but the customer requirements are utterly disgraceful. But the want is so HIGH, that's my dream car in front of my eyes and with the EV revolution this is the end of the road for this type of vehicle and i want IN... who knows in the future but clearly now is not my moment.

May as well get ready for take off with my vulture wings on..... absolutely first dibs on that scruffy old silver M of yours....it'll need some work obvs but I'm up for a challenge.....

Not to sure John, that Golf picture you posted earlier doesn’t show your work off as being of a good standard

Nice quilted blanket and a cushion from Dunelm mill will do wonders for those bloody Tillets so no issues there....

[mr.tourette]

I've just been eyeing that up before popping on the forum.. Bloody gorgeous eh I'll happily make do with my 981 for now tho.. Maybe in 10 years when I've worked my way up this Porker ladder a bit

"Couldn't give a toss, now f*ck off you are making the place look untidy".

That is why I will now never buy a Porsche (that and the fact that most of their flat sixes are made of chocolate)! Mainly the former though!

They'd have probably got to this part of the conversation before you'd given them your life story

[Ole gits rule]

Not a fan of porkers not the Spyder, just does not do it for me at all, no idea why just don't get it.

Rather spend that on something old (No I don't mean plastic surgery for myself or Ron)

I was expecting that.....just not from you young Stephen (Steven?)

Best seats you'll ever sit in! Way more cool than the spyder RS seats and steering wheel setup Until you hit a pot hole. lol

Getting in is not the problem, but how would he get out without pulling his back and being in hospital?
