I visited JR Motor company to view a Porsche Cayman, the specification and mileage really attracted to me to the car. When I arrived at the dealership I was impressed by the lovely selection of cars and the dealership had really good professional appearance. We then looked round the vehicle, I paid to have a Porsche mechanic come with me to view the car as I am not a mechanic myself, although I have owned lots of performance cars over the years. After looking round the car, we found that the rear tyres were on the legal limit, front coolant pipes were leaking and the rear lights were full of water. As the vehicles advertised was the best part of £23,000 I wanted to either have the bits rectified or money off the asking price, especially seeing the front coolant pipes is a fair job. However we were both given an awful response from the owner and walked away. I would of been happy to pay the full asking price had the car had no issues. After another month of looking around, I have purchased a car from another Porsche Specialist called the motor grid who was brilliant.

Hi James Thanks for taking time to write your review, I dont recall your visit, Maybe the car you looked at wasn't prepared as all our cars go through our workshop and leave with a minimum of 5mm tread depths and we also check the coolant pipes for leaks etc and we wouldnt let a car go out needing new coolant pipes.. Glad you managed to find a similar car from motor grid regards ian
After seeing a lovely specification Porsche Cayman on Autotrader advertised by JR Motor Company I had to view the vehicle. When I attended JR Motor Company I was greeted with a very nice looking dealership in a good location. The car itself was a rare specification and a low mileage example, however did have a few areas which needed attention such as the rear tyres were needing to be replaced due to perishing and being near the legal limit of 1.6mm and the one rear light was full of water due to a broken light seal. Due to the vehicle being advertised at a strong price, I decided to ask Ian if we could have these bits sorted if the full asking price was met. I was then told that I should not expect a show room condition car when the vehicle is 14 years old and Ian was very rude. Although I expect general wear and tear, I do not expect a rear light full of water and rear tyres that are barely legal and very old. After looking at other reviews and the forums is does seem that Ian has a very defensive attitude and does struggle with his customer service which is a shame as the cars he does have are high specification rare examples. But this was his attitude when he wanted my £18,000, what would he of been like in a warranty situation? In the end I drove to another Porsche specialist on a whim and bought a Porsche Boxster in the end.

Hi Jack Thanks for taking time to write a review and let me know your experience.. I do find it a little strange though as all my cars once prepared will leave with a minimum 5mm tread depth on tyres and all will be a matching set.. Glad you managed to find a nice Boxster though and all the very best for the future regards ian
My Boxster was presented in immaculate condition and nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend Jr motors without hesitation 👍

Thanks David for taking time to write a great review.. All the very best Ian
Just bought my first Porsche Cayman from JR Motor Company. Ian was very knowledgable and honest and answered any questions I had and went through the full history and service record of the car. He even did all the paperwork to transfer private registration, the car was ready with new plates when I picked it up. Would definitely recommend excellent service. Thanks Ian

Thanks Darren for taking time to write a great honest review it really means a lot...Many thanks and all the very best..Ian
My job is to inspect businesses for customer service and quality of the customer journey. I visited Jr Motor Company with my wife to buy a Porsche Boxster. The attitude from Ian to start with was as you'd expect however as soon as we started talking figures and small niggles with the car we was bombarded with a defensive rude attitude. I had the money to buy the car but wasn't willing to pay the full asking price which in correlation with the niggles was fair enough seeing the car was over top book glasses guide anyway. But sadly the attitude after from Ian was very disappointing so we left with the money only to buy a Porsche from another Porsche specialist just the next day at the same money with no niggles. Sadly as much as I wanted to have a good experience I had quite the opposite. Mr Jones

Thank you for your honest review Mr Jones, Im glad you found the Boxster you were looking for and sorry you felt the way you did to review myself and my company in such a bad way.. Unfortunately I cant remember you or when you came to visit,however I do feel disappointed that your experience wasn't good and we didn't gel as I do pride myself in trying to make my cars outstanding and a personal experience which I think is what counts.. ian
Ian at JR Motor Company is very enthusiastic with great sales talk and when I discovered by chance he had not put the warranty on the car he did send me the money he had saved. I have had to have significantly more work done on the car in the first year of ownership than I would have expected given the sales talk and dealer promise. This is my third Porsche so I have some experience and expectation.

thanks for the great review sean!!regards ian
I bought a Porsche Carrera 4 from here in March 2015 and am very pleased with my purchase. The owner is very enthusiastic about the marque and was fair with a trade in price on my old Porsche. As any one knows buying an older Porsche does mean that items do fail. However the warranty sold with the car has made this more palatable and it did cover parts in accordance with the T & C 's. I would defintitely go back and found the whole experience of nearly a years ownership to be a positive one. Much, much, much better than my experience with Portiacraft, from whom I bought the car before this.
