Bonuses are usually linked to a year/quarter/month end so seems odd to suggest a discount for what will still be a mid-month registration - unless someone accidentally registered it before the end of December!

Fair point, I will ask the question. Could be as they were really pushing for a December delivery before it was delayed?!

Only potential issue is that they car remains registered to the dealer for a number of months (can't remember how long - maybe 3) so for that period you are not the registered keeper. I explained this to the insurance company and they were fine with it. Just wanted to see the invoice as proof of purchase.

Yeah I would be fine with that, but I personally don’t think 1k is a big saving … might just be me?

Also if I did do it…. Should I still be paying the First year road fund @£1900 odd or as the second owner the normal £470ish

I don't think that's the way it works. Surely there's a pro rata system?

Definitely starts to make sense if they do this - £1400 VED and then £1k from them so now up to a £2.4K discount. Just ask them to throw in a ceramic coating and starts to look attractive?

They want the sale to count as a new car sale and a used car sale. Two points with one vehicle. They wont be able to sell as a pre reg until at least 90 days old, even if you are using it.

I'm pretty sure the bosses at either Porsche UK or the dealership chain wont be happy with the approach, but I guess if you ask for £5k off you will see how keen they are to bend the rules....

Now can we work out from your old posts which OPC it is...?

If that’s the case I’d expect it to be Porsche Guildford as they are dodgy as F***.
