No Surprise really good cars always sell people are happy paying the top end for right cars.

They do I'm not exception. 
 

Their stock is good and they look very selective on what they buy . I've also found JZM to be good .  
 

Had an horrendous experience with Paul Stephens once and turns out I'm not alone. 
 

Glad to deal with a good indi now

GTS are high spec to start with but you can still rack a lots of options.

I did compare when Mike owned his car to mine I had well over 17k of extras on mine so I guess Mike's ceramics pushed the extra 5k making 22k of options.

Very easy to start adding stuff but not to many with huge option lists.

How long have you owned your car ?

I know JZM very well personally dealt with them a lot.

The old saying goes no such thing as a cheap good Porsche.

We all have choices of course but a reputable dealer is worth its weight in gold.

Mine came from main dealer 3 years ago no problem at all with them

2 years warranty and Porsche break down assistance.

was thinking it was ex Porsche as my launch spec car came with an FJ plate and high spec as well. I’d search the net as I found quite a few autocar etc reviews online using my car from 2012

The 981 is definitely a better drive but I won't have too many bad words said about my Britney! She was a great intro into 2 seater life and did a great job for a few summers.

@mr.tourette23 maybe I dismissed the idea too quickly, I've seen a plug and play head unit with android auto I think I'm going to order first and then I think I'll start with some dash upgrades before looking at the door speakers too. There's a paycheck or two already accounted for! 

 

You had a Z4 called `Britney`. I'd keep that under your hat if I were you. Anyway I don't think anyone noticed so you'll be OK.

My plan is to put it back into the Porsche warranty network once the Hathor one expires .  I figure 3 years warranty for £2200 is a decent deal .  
Just means I'll get it serviced at an OPC but I very much intend keeping the car
