This I can agree with

A fair point, and I guess it does vary from branch to branch depending on the staff they have in.

Totally agree with this.

I wasn't singing the praises of main dealers, not at all, more so the small owner-run independents who live on their reputation.

I'm afraid I wouldn't even come to look, it's not just a Porsche thing, an A8 is a big chunk of expensive metal too. If you were selling a 2 grand city car, then fine, but not for anything that needs the right touch.
