I am using Reading, would rather not name on here but suffice to say absolutely superb service. Both with this purchase and with the Cayman too.

I was very impressed with Reading when I was doing my tel OPC research. Unfortunately they're circa 100 miles away, so I decided on the "best' 1 of the neatest 3 to my home - still all about 1 hour away. .

Your SE deserves a medal for his dedication and time given to helping you hone your spec. It looks like you've make a cracking choice. ;)

I have spent many months (actually nearly a year now) looking through sites/forums such as this, scanning pics and configurations, all the while trying to get the details right on my new Macan GTS. You see I did not want white, silver, black, grey etc. I have been a loyal Merc driver for a long time now and my last three have been white! Hubby has a white Cayman GTS. So time for a change......

That meant it had to be pts - and that is where the fun starts! There are no colour samples, no nice painted examples. It involves literally hours of trawling web pics just to narrow it down and then you might just get lucky and see it for real on a car no matter the model. Then lighting has a huge part to play. Each colour looks different in daylight, showroom light and in a photograph too.

So I have gone a bit mad and ordered Riviera Blue with lots of black contrast. It took a whole day to place the order with the most amazing sales guy who has the patience of a saint. Each tiny detail inside and out was considered carefully with many trips to view actual samples in different showrooms.

I am hoping this car lightens my day every time I look at it. It certainly lightened my purse :D Ordered at the start of the year for Sep delivery slot and it will now be collected on 18th November. Watch this space.

I will take loads of pics. Some with the Cayman too. I have just arranged insurance. Very surprised to discover this car is the cheapest to insure out of all my previous cars. I am only paying £299 with aviva. Astonishing!!!! Nearly fell off my seat 😁 one plus on the switch from Mercedes.
