Is it difficult to get your hands on a 987 demo car in JHB for a testdrive ?
In Germany the dealerships just let the car sell itself (maybe the salesguys are too lazy) - before you know they hand over the carkey of a demo car and after the testdrive you just ask where to put you're name on the dotted line
Nah, in JHB the dealerships are much more reluctant to hand over the keys to a Boxster unless they're convinced that you're in the market. Volumes for Boxsters over here are tiny compared with Germany. So yeah, getting my hands on a 987 drive is pretty much an impossibility unless I get invited to do so...

Still, here's hoping.

(Btw, if not for anything at least the sales ladies at Porsche Centre Randburg are gorgeous. Beats getting told to p*ss off by some full-of-it salesman )

Hhmmm - maybe you should send some of the gorgeous sales ladies over here and in return we should ship some more demo cars to SA
I always found it strange that in many countries the dealerships are so reluctant to let you testdrive a car. How can they expect you to spend that kind of money (I know, the prices in SA for a Porsche are even significantly higher than over here) without a testdrive ?

Anyway I'm sure you'll find a way to convince one of those nice ladies to let you drive a 987

A few weeks ago I was very very close to getting to drive a Boxster but unfortunately the dealer couldn't accept my Swedish license.
