When I lived there and used Porsche Hatfield I was told all OPC's in the UK are actually owned by Porsche GB. Still the case?

Only 5 are owned by Porsche GB, rest are privately owned by various chains.

Hatfield, Guildford, Reading, Mayfair and West London.

Today I was driving by the dealer. I couldn't see it on the floor (where it was parked earlier). Maybe someone bought it?

This is dealer greed at its best... $115k markup?? I am still waiting for my sharkblue but should have it in December. I had to pay $40k markup, unfortunately, but that is starting to feel like a deal now. WTF is going on these days with cars?

I guess so... I mean, yes this is a Porsche GT division product. so high demand and low supply but kinda crazy how high cars have gotten. I used to think a $100k was a lot for a car.

Inflation. Cost of everything to put the car together has gone up. Shipping charges have gone up.
