bandit_287 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 So anybody here buy the 981 Black edition from Newcastle OPC today? I rang up this morning to enquire, called back two hours later to drop a deposit on it and they’d sold it! Gutted, it was a nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenman Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Yes the 981 black edition is a 2.7 with a host of very nice packaged extras. Obviously the 987 BE was the ultimate edition of the 987 but of course this role is filled by the GTS with the 981 so I guess they thought basing the BE on the 981S would have somewhat stepped on the GTS toes, hence a 2.7 based version was produced.

Menoporsche Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 ...or they just wanted to sell more 2.7s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one was fully loaded, almost every option was ticked from the factory. I’ve never seen a 981 so maxed out. Shame I missed out on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “We” smacks to me of a dealer and an OPC warranty can not be transferred to a dealer, only a private buyer . Possibly a private seller is selling via a garage on a commission basis but it sets alarm bells for me. If trying to hide a dealership involvement what else may be hidden?

Andy Mac Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 @Kevin G / @718as that same car (same reg) was advertised via two adverts the other day on the auto trader ... didn’t know whether someone had ripped off the dealer ad (as the second add above has poor quality photos) maybe even visited and taken photos it in an effort to rip people off / scam some how. (Locations 9 miles apart I think). Or as you say - for sale through a dealer / but also trying privately at the same time - just a shame their photos look poor. The current two ads (same reg)..

Yep, bought it in February this year. I think they were only sold in the final year, probably to shift the last of the 981 to clear the decks for the 718. It's pretty well loaded, but mine is missing a couple of options I'd've preferred in a perfect world; PASM and heated steering wheel to name but two.

Menoporsche Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I'd imagine you could retrofit heated s/w, even if a bit costly? PASM would be uneconomic though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
