Morning everyone
Having lurked on here for a while I'm now at the point of making some key decisions about buying a Porsche and looking at financing as my company car goes back.
I'm really just trying to get some ball park figures so I can work out what I can afford, what's out of reach and what I could get if I eat cardboard for the next few years...... (Note to all - Don't tell my wife about the last bit!)
I haven't dropped Jamie a PM as I'm looking to buy in October / November time and didn't want to waste his time producing specifics on something so far in the future - apologies Jamie!
My guess is that my budget is more likely in 996 territory rather than a 997 - so with that in mind:
1. If I buy a 2002, 2003 car can you get 4 year Lease Purchase deals with a resonable rate on interest i.e. well under 10% APR?
2. I'm not sure what my budget would stretch to - I'll basically have about a 10% deposit and £600 per month. Can anyone with personal experience of doing this point me in the direction of just what this will buy?
3. If I bought directly from Porsche I know I'll get stitched up terms of price for the car but I suspect I'd be stitched up on finance as well, does anyone know what kind of rates are they likely to offer?
4. Finally I'm based in the sunny North West does anyone up here have any good recommendations for dealers to consider?
I think my personal preference would probably be something like a 2003 996 C4S but obviously I might need to look at other things if the budget won't stretch.
Apologies for the length of the mail and any help / advice is greatly appreciated!
Cheers all - Paul
