Hi Gav
 
Preston is my OPC but try Chester as well. They gave me a very good price on my 718 Base a year ago but Preston were slightly better. 


Dan. 




Many thanks, Dan! I’ll give them a ring tomorrow.

Check this monster out. Such a shame to waste a build slot!!

Wow - huge spec… but *quite* the colour scheme!
I don’t mind the exterior colour (not that I would have picked it), I quite like the aurum wheels, yellow dials and PCBs… Ok I can see what they’re doing, light coloured interiors not for me… but really, all together?? I think the salesman must have been looking at the commission on the options and having a bet with a mate in used car sales

Great news Glenn. Wont be long now. I'd say about a week to 10 days and it'll be rolling off the production line.

Congratulations Glenn, you have some patience, nearly an 18 month wait.
I hope you have managed to get all the options and spec you always wanted.
Look forward to some photos.
 
Mine came off the transporter a few days ago and the OPC sent me some photos of the car with all its protection cover still in place. Just been PDId and I collect on the 3rd April when I get back to the UK. Being forced to take out the Tracker as the value is over 85K.

I'm in exactly the same position Glenn. The waiting frustration / excitement score is quite high here

Received my notification today. No indication when delivery might be though. Preston said a few weeks ago it might be end of May?
How are you guys selling your existing cars? Seems to be a big margin between what dealers offer and what they sell for?

There will always be a margin between what an OPC buys and sells at. You need to take into consideration if they need to add a warranty, any servicing or repairs and they need to prep the car for sale. Saying that, I sold my last 718 to Preston and they put it on the forecourt for £10 less than I paid for it 18 months earlier. 
 
Who's your SA at Preston?

Yes I appreciate that, and I know they did a lot of prep on my (preloved) car before I took delivery. Never the less £7-8k margin seems a lot for a car that has just had a major service and is still under warranty? The answer of course to sell privately.
Richard Mander is the SA. Top man.

Snap.... Richard is my SA as well.
 
We put our Merc on Motorway and sold in 3 days. Well worth selling privately if you think you can get more.

Good video comparison but such a shame some of his facts are wrong

We all know the 4.0 pdk 0-60 is less than four seconds.
 
The bulkhead will unlikely be different being derived from the 981, which has always featured a flat 6. Seat height difference I suspect. 
 
Otherwise an interesting video, both are competent but I prefer the six cylinder soundtrack.
