idk how to go on about buying one straight from the factory, ive gotten advice from a person that i think is capping at this point, he sent me an image of email as "evidence" and it looks quite unprofessional to me! does this look legitimate to you?

If you are serious about buying a new Porsche, just start by contacting your nearest Porsche dealership.

Yeah doesn't pass the smell test re the language used

However there aren't any links in the email, which is what you'd expect from a scammer to take you to a scam site.

I don’t recall seeing factory collection as an option this year.

But as others have said, if you are serious about buying a new Porsche, start at your nearest dealer.

Factory collections have not been available for quite a while, probably due to Brexit.

Just visit at least two OPC’s and both with different ownership.

Quote here where you are thinking if going to and ask for recommendations.

Read up on posts after searching and you will find plenty of info

Good luck

Open the email address. Often there's another hidden within.

Right mouse click etc.

The email purports to be from Porsche.de. In the ten years I've been a Porsche owner I don't ever recall receiving an email from Porsche.de.
