For many years I had been driving past Harbour cars promising that one day I would go in for real. That day came on my 60th birthday!Although being an ‘easy’ customer kind of knowing exactly what I wanted being a 911 nut have to say that the service was superb and I also felt a certain reassurance from buying from here being my first Porsche! along with attention to detail. They made the whole experience special, would defiantly go back!!

Excellent service and support and high Quality cars

Really good people to deal with – honest and knowledgeable about all their vehicles, delighted with my vehicle would be happy to do business again.

From the moment we arrived at Harbour Cars we were greeted to a friendly welcome from Chris with a welcomed cup of coffee even though we we came unannounced. The Cayman we had come to see was immaculately presented with Chris being able to answer any questions that we had. Chris gave us space to look at the car at our leisure, at no point did we feel we were taking up his time. After a test drive and time to think the decision was made the Cayman would be ours.A week later it was time to collect. Rob picked us up from the train station and waiting for us gleaming in the showroom was my car complete with the graphic’s the I had asked to be applied and a new set of plates for my personal plate in the tub. Geoff completed the handover and we set off on our way home.From start to finish the customer service was brilliant, I would not hesitate to purchase another vehicle from Harbour Cars.

Harbour Cars made my 911 purchase experience easy and enjoyable. Geoff was exceedingly knowledgeable about the car and responded quickly and accurately to my queries. The vehicle handover was thorough, informative and totally professional. The Company ethos is not only about selling cars but supporting customers afterwards. I have total faith that should I require any assistance in the future Harbour Cars will be there to help. Outstanding customer service which is sadly a rarity these days.

Geoff and the team were so helpful, even when the first Porsche I was interested in sold before I could move forward, they found me the dream car I was looking for! I highly recommend Harbour Cars, super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you so much!

Very good service when i sold my Cayman to Harbour Cars.I would highly recommend them when selling a Porsche.

Now on my 3rd car from Harbour, this time a 2016 Macan GTS to replace my beloved 911 also from them. Again, the quality of the car and the level of service delivered by their team has been exceptional. They really are a cut above the rest when it comes to used Porsche.

The team at Harbour Cars were fantastic. They presented the 997 we bought immaculately and provided good honest advice, which was particularly welcome as a buyer with no previous Porsche brand experience. Comprehensive warranty package and will hopefully do business with them in the future.

Absolutely delighted with my Cayman 981S from Harbour Cars, I collected it three days ago and haven’t stopped grinning since. From initial enquiries through to final purchase, Geoff and the team at Harbour provide invaluable assistance and inspire confidence; you are in the safe hands of expert enthusiasts. No question is considered trivial and I would thank Geoff for his knowledge and patience in answering my many (many!) lists of questions. Given so many options, each Porsche is individual so it will take time for you to find your ideal car. Keep patient, work with the Harbour team and rely on them to find “THE” car. Superb experience

A pleasure to do business with, from start to finish. I’ve bought and owned Porsches from other specialists before but this was the first time I’d dealt with Harbour Cars. They couldn’t have been more helpful and profesional – their enthusiasm for the marque evident in all they do.From test drive to pre-sales paperwork and collection, Geoff (and colleagues) were friendly, attentive and delighted to be able to share the moment with me. I live half-way across the country, but the right car was worth travelling for, and I was happy to buy it from Harbour Cars.

Geoff and the team were excellent. We are delighted with our 911 and can’t fault the service and support we received. Highly Recommended

Picked up my 6th Porsche last week, (Cayman R) Excellent handover, another pleasant experience. Well done Geoff and thank you.

Harbour cars” you are in a different League, the friendliest garage I’ve ever walked into, I’d like to especially thank Sam & Geoff for such a pleasant welcome into the showroom, The hand selected range of Porsche’s speak for them selves up until you guy’s really show expertise experience & knowledge of exactly what a customer needs to know….. thanks so much Sam nothing is to much trouble….Loving my cayman 981 3,4s

Absolutely fantastic people to deal with. Geoff dealt with everything in a very professional manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Harbour Cars to anyone wishing to buy a carefully selected used Porsche. Thanks Geoff, the car is awesome!!!!

Having not bought a Porsche before I was delighted and reassured to have the guiding hand of Geoff take me through the process. His expertise and experience of high performance cars is second to none and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Harbour Cars to anyone considering buying one of these stunning cars.

The team at Harbour cars went above and beyond customer service when buying my 997 cab. Highly recommend the business and look forward to work with the guys in the future.

If your looking to buy a used Porsche then this is the place to come. I had the most amazing experience dealing with Harbour cars when looking to buy my first ever Porsche. Right from the start I was given a wealth of information about the car and before travelling down from Scotland I was given a thorough walk through live video of the car which even covered the most minute imperfections on the car which I probably would never have noticed. I flew down to test drive the car and was picked up from the train station and taken to there amazing garage which has the most amazing collection of Porsche’s. Was really made to feel welcome and was given loads of time to view the car before my test drive. There was no pressure or ‘ sales ‘ type stuff going on here. Geoff and the guys were genuinely interested in me making the right decision. Unlike when I visited an actual Porsche garage who just wanted to take my money.After the test drive I was in no doubt that this was the right car for me and we went through all the paperwork including there fantastic bumper to bumper guarantee. This was a really important part of the deal for me. Because I live hundreds of miles away I was concerned about what would happen if there were any issues with the car. With there excellent guarantee I was completely confident that I would always be looked after as long as I was a Harbour Cars customer regardless of where I lived. Geoff really gave me peace of mind in this respect which was the most important thing for me.Finally Geoff helped me with transporting the car from Chichester to Falkirk and has been in regular contact ever since.I do feel that I may now own several Porsche’s over the coming years and without doubt I will always be buying them from Harbour Cars I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.This is how buying a car should always be done.Thanks guys, just a perfect experience from start to finish.SteveFalkirk

Excellent experience from start to finish. As I was travelling some distance, a thorough and detailed video of the vehicle was first sent over by Sam, who was there to greet me after a long drive down to Chichester the next day. With test drive and paperwork complete, Sam arranged for final preparations and a seamless handover to Geoff to deal with vehicle collection. I’ve been searching for a high spec, low miles Cayman 981 S for some time and have found Harbour’s pricing, package and service hard to beat. Thanks guys!

When I was looking to sell my 997.2 C4S I did a bit of shopping around for best price… I tried all the usual places and then came across an advert for Harbour Cars looking to purchase used Porsches. I phoned up and spoke to a fantastic representative called Geoff. We had a great conversation about the car and the condition including any ‘honest’ concerns should he/Harbour decide to purchase my car. This was really important for us both as I lived over 300 miles away and didn’t want to make the journey, to end up in a situation where we were haggling over price, due to something I hadn’t mentioned or disclosed. True to his word and based on my description Geoff gave me a fair price for my beloved car as we had agreed on the phone. (We did discuss car collection but I was travelling down for another reason and had onward transportation). Really great guys to do business with and I wish I had known of their existence before agreeing on my new purchase as I would have found a car through this team. Absolutely 5 star business, 5 star facilities and 5 stars for friendliness and professionalism. Sad to let my pride and joy go but delighted it will go to an enthusiast. Finally, wow what a dealership!! Some of the cars they have are fantastic!

I recently purchased a Porsche 981 Cayman S from Harbour Cars. Geoff was a pleasure to do business with and ensured that all parts of the purchase ran seamlessly. I was given the best advice possible and at all stages, Geoff’s communication and reassurances were faultless. Harbour Cars are a professional/best-in-class outfit with a clear passion for the vehicles they sell. When the time comes to buy my next Porsche, I will be returning to Harbour Cars without question. Thank you to Geoff and all of the team for your dedication and hard work.

Had been looking for a 911 for a while. Glad I found Harbour Cars. Excellent warranty and added piece of mind with the checks they do on their cars pre purchase. Sam was great to deal with Everyone else was very pleasant as well. Will definitely buy my next porsche from there.

Really happy with the car, the experince and the process. Great range to choose from. They had the car I wanted, beautifully presented.

Sold my 911 to these guys. They paid me what I considered was a good price. Good salt of the earth straight forward traders. Offering high quality well picked cars at good prices.

My husband purchased his vehicle from Harbour cars and nothing was too much trouble. They even picked himUp him from the train station on the day he collected his vehicle. Great friendly service. Thank you.

Great experience dealing with Geoff and Sam at Harbour Cars. They sold me an absolutely cracking 997 Turbo is dream spec, that flew through an independent inspection and is now being enjoyed 7 days a week, providing more smiles per mile than I ever expected. What a car! Thanks guys!

I recently purchased a Cayman from Harbour Cars. Geoff and the team provided outstanding service throughout the process, including the trade in of my F-Type. The car was presented in immaculate condition and Geoff went to great pains to run though all pre-purchases checks. Post sale follow up calls to make sure all is well is a great touch and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Many thanks.Dan

Bought my first Porsche through Harbour Cars, who couldn’t have been more helpful. Sam, Geoff and Rob made the whole buying experience very enjoyable throughout. The team are extremely knowledgeable and kept me well informed from first photos of the car to inspection updates before collection. Comfortably the best car buying experience I’ve ever had. Thanks again!

Excellent service, excellent people…Professional car handover with a personal touch

Great service and easy to deal with when they purchased my car.

A nice employee gave me Porsche key ring and said that’s for your car when your older and honestly very nice

Great Company to deal with, they offered me a very good price for 911 1 was PX , Sam looked after everything for me, great service

Very attentive. They listened and have understood exactly what I am looking for. Once finances are settled I’m intending to buy my 911 from them if at all possible !

After owning BMW M performance cars for many years I decided to purchase my first Porsche ( Cayman ) from Harbour Cars and my first point of contact was Geoff, he was very professional and dealt with my initial enquiry and then through to purchase of the vehicle, Geoff was very informative and was a pleasure to deal with from the start and was so helpful, the car and their stock is of a very, very high standard and is equal to and if not better than an official Porsche Centre, I will definitely be returning to Harbour Cars in the future to purchase my next Porsche and I thoroughly recommend Harbour Cars to anyone who is looking to purchase a Porsche of a very high standard, customer service is also second to none, fantastic !

thanks Geoff for great service and communication. first porsche purchased and has been a magic experience from beginning to end. would certainly recommend the Team at Harbour cars.

Enquired about a 981 GTS and part ex of my Macan. From start to finish easiest, simplest and most pleasant car purchase experience I’ve had. Car was exactly as described, immaculate preparation, thorough history and data file, good communication etc… Was a pleasure to deal with Geoff. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Bought my first porsche from Sam at Harbour Cars and the experience was excellent through-out. Pressure free sale whcih was great and communication was excellent between sale and pick up, would recommend and would but from here again, thank you!

Harbour Cars is your must “go to” independent Porsche retailer. The Macan I collected on March 28th 2022 was in immaculate condition, inside and out. The service I received from Sam was exemplary and I cannot thank him enough for his assistance on making my purchase seamless. Plus a mention for Silas who prepares the vehicles, his work is exceptional.

Carlsberg don’t sell Porsche cars, but if they did, the buying experience would undoubtedly be like this.Immaculately presented vehicles, fastidious attention to detail and a true passion for the marque.Many thanks to Geoff and Sam for their help, advice, and hospitality. The car is just awesome!

This was the 1st time buying a Porsche and Harbour Cars were the simply great, from start to finish they explained everything to me and the service was top notch. The after sales care and service was also very very good. I would 100% recommend them. Geoff and Sam were brilliant.

I have owned several Porsches and known Harbour Cars for some years, always being impressed by the quality of their cars. This week I part exchanged the Porsche 981 Boxster I bought from them 2 years ago fora Macan S and once again was delighted with the car and customer service provided by Geoff and Sam. As always the the whole purchase process was a pleasure and the meticulous attention to detail in explaining and preparing the car is second to none. I would highly recommend Harbour Cars to anyone searching for the Porsche of their dreams!- Barry James

After many years of reading excellent reviews of Harbour Cars we finally took the plunge and visited their showroom on a whim.Needless to say, we found the level of service received was the best we have experienced when purchasing a car. No pushy salesmen, open and honest conversation about the vehicles and happy to answer all questions asked.It is safe to say we will be returning to Harbour cars to purchase our next car.

I recently bought a 2014 981 Boxster S from Harbour Cars – What a great experience. I’ve previously been fortunate enough to have taken delivery of a couple of approved used cars from Official Porsche Centres, and I would say that the preparation quality delivered by Harbour, both mechanical (with clear supporting documentation) and cosmetic (genuinely as close to ‘new’ as I could have imagined), was easily on par if not better.I’m a very happy customer. Harbour Cars excellent reputation online is, from my experience, very well deserved. If you’re in the market for a quality used Porsche, you should go and see them. Special thanks to Geoff for a great buying experience. Including picking me up from the train station to collect the car…Which I felt a bit guilty about afterwards when I worked out how easily walkable the dealership was from there!Thanks,Tim

Bought from and (reluctantly) sold my 911 back to Harbour cars. Both the buying and selling experience was a pleasure and very fair/ hassle free. The car exceeded all my expectations and was an absolute blast to own. I highly recommend a 991.1 and I can highly recommend Harbour cars should you be in the market for a Porsche.

Sam made my 911 purchase experience easy and enjoyable. From the initial questions on the phone to the offer of a fair PX price on my Cayman, and a well prepared new car; the team went out of their way to help in any way that they could. Harbour Cars were really professional. I am very happy to recommend them.

Purchased a Porsche Cayman 981 from Harbour Cars in the past week, the whole experience was excellent from start to finish.Sam was supremely knowledgeable about the car and the whole process next felt rushed or pressured. The handover was easy and informative and you can tell that the guys genuinely enjoy what they do.Would recommend to anyone looking to purchase a second-hand Porsche.

I’ve just completed the purchase of Porsche Macan from Harbour Cars. The car is excellent but the service and support that came with it were right out of the top draw. The support package that comes with all their cars provides a level of confidence that if there are any after sales issues these will all be handled personally by the team. Geoff has called me several times post the sale, to ensure that all is ok and Im happy with the car.. This is a level of care that is really appreciatedThanksPeter

A quick note to say how easy it was to purchase my 981 Cayman-S from Harbour Cars. Sam was extremely helpful from first contact to final handover, a stress-free purchase. Oh and the coffee is excellent! On collection, despite being 9+ years old, the car had been immaculately prepared, like new. Despite having to travel down from the North East to view & collect the 981 I wouldn’t hesitate to use Harbour Cars again.

Fantastic experience, thank you so much Harbour Cars.After only a couple of weeks from leaving my car requirements with Sam @ Harbour Cars I received a call that a very well specified 911 C2S had arrived and was going through their very thorough and professional pre-sale check before being prepared for sale.I arranged a viewing ASAP and it didn’t disappoint, I left a deposit the next morning.The car was fantastically prepared, in great condition with all of the paperwork, handbooks, keys etc. that you’d expect but not always receive.I had the pleasure of dealing with Sam and then Geoff while Sam was on holiday and it was seamless. The sales process is actually enjoyable, it’s very laid back with no pressure to purchase and this along with top quality cars is probably why they don’t hang around for sale very long.The handover day was particularly special, Geoff was very careful going through the transfer paperwork correctly before talking me through most of the functions on the car so I was able to drive it away safely. He even managed to get the sun to shine down on the showroom on the day of collection, what a great day.Would I buy from Harbour Cars again?……..Absolutely.Thank you all once again.

Harbour Cars are a first class company to deal with.I’ve always been someone who looks to deal only with Main Dealers and I would have never considered a specialist like Harbour Cars before. What changed my mind was watching reviews by a YouTuber called Petrol Ped. Pete reviewed a number of cars from Harbour Cars and even purchased his own Porsche from them, he always rated them very highly and therefore I thought I’d give them a try myself.My experience has been nothing other than exceptional, far better than most Main Dealers and more than equal to the best BMW and Audi dealers I’ve used previously.Their focus is 100% on finding you the right car and the car you want, they aren’t interested in selling all the usual add on’s you never want or need and the car comes properly polished and coated included in the price. I witnessed a car being prepped in the showroom and it was having a proper machine polish – that’s not something many main dealers do and if they do they charge you a fortune for it.If you’re after a Porsche (or anything else they have) I would highly recommend talking to Harbour Cars, I couldn’t rate the team there any more highly.

After looking for a Porsche Cayman 987.2 2.4 with PDK my son found one advertised at Harbour cars so I made an appointment to go and view. After reading the reviews of Geoff who was my contact and sales man we would be dealing with I did think they were so good that he my have written them his self, but know he was as good or if not better than his reviews. My wife and I would like to thank you for a nice transaction, the car is fantastic and your service second to none, friendly, Honest with lots of knowledge about the cars with no sales pressure. What more can we say. You made it the perfect day.

I recently bought a Cayman S from Harbour Cars and it was an excellent experience – from my initial phone enquiry through to collection a couple of weeks later. Everything went smoothly and nothing was too much. Geoff & team are clearly very passionate about Porsche cars, and very professional and knowledgeable. Very friendly and patient throughout, they were happy to answer any questions I had and at no point did I feel in any way rushed. It was obvious they take pride in their job, carrying out all possible checks on the car, fitting two new tyres, and presenting the car to me in tip-top condition. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an independent Porsche specialist with great stock and first-rate customer service.

What can we say, the first car we have ever bought from a garage in 40 years, we couldn’t have chosen anyone better than Geoff & Sam at Harbour Cars in Chichester. From the moment we spoke on the phone to being greeted at the door the purchase of our Macan was an absolute pleasure. The car is in pristine condition and will be our pride and joy for a long time.Thank you both for the exceptional service and explanation of how everything works and for the reassurance of the ongoing service at the end of the phone as we are 300 miles away, we would recommend your services to anyone who is in the market for a Porsche – don’t hesitate to visit however far away you are.Thanks again.Sandra & Graham

Encouraged by their excellent reviews, I had every confidence in Harbour Cars when purchasing my Porsche Boxster. This has been completely justified. Hand-held by Geoff through the process, which was made more complicated by me being abroad for a while. From start to finish this has been an excellent experience, with great attention to detail and obvious focus on making sure that the car and the back-up service is of the highest quality. I have no hesitation in giving a 5 star review; Harbour Cars will be my first port of call when the time comes for a change.

My son and I had been looking for a low mileage, manual 981 Boxster with a full service history for some time. After being let down by a number of other Porsche specialists who could provide little or no evidence to verify the service histories of the cars that they were selling I was extremely sceptical when I rang Harbour Cars, but I needn’t have worried. Sam was very helpful, emailing me with copies of the fully stamped Porsche service booklet and the invoice for the most recent service on the day that I first spoke to him.The 500 + mile round trip to see the car and meet Sam and Geoff was well worthwhile. Despite being 10 years old the bodywork was immaculate and as confirmed by the 111 point Autotechnics check also perfect mechanically. Our Boxster is a credit to both its two previous owners and to Harbour Cars for their preparation work.Thank you Sam for your help and patience. I would have no hesitation in recommending Harbour Cars for your Porsche.

This was my first experience of purchasing a Porsche and I have no hesitation in recommending Harbour Cars. Geoff was a pleasure to deal with – he was knowledgeable, gave me plenty of time to look around the car and was happy to let me test drive (which can be a rarity amongst Porsche dealers!). He was completely open about the car’s history, showing me all the documentation before purchasing, which meant I felt confident and comfortable in going ahead with the purchase.

It was a big step for me to own my first Porsche and I am so glad it was through Harbour Cars. Well worth the 2 hour drive. From initial contact with Aaron and subsequent purchase and handover with Sam they couldn’t do enough to help me make the right decision. Amazing customer service and thorough understanding of their product. Vehicle prep and attention to detail are another level. Since collection I have had a couple of questions and again a very quick response and fantastic customer service. Very highly recommended.

Have recently bought my first Porsche from Harbour and Sam was great to deal with. His knowledgeable, honest and friendly service was most welcome. Even went above and beyond to take me for a test drive in the car when they were closed between Christmas and New Year as I was in the area visiting family for Christmas.The car was immaculately presented on collection (and they even sent the car away for paintwork correction which, although not obvious to the naked eye, was picked up when detailing).

I now have my perfect Cayman. The team at Harbour Cars are fantastic even measuring my car to ensure Stuttgart had got it spot on, thanks Sam. My companion during my search was Geoff, or the unicorn hunter as I like to call him. Absolutely fantastic service. The level of commitment to deliver exactly what I wanted from the start has been impeccable. I had an exact specification and imagined how this might be possible to achieve. Harbour Cars fulfilled them all. This is the team you want to deliver you your dream Porsche. Thanks so much Geoff.

I purchased my first Porsche from Sam at Harbour Cars recently. It was a great experience. It is obvious that they know what they are doing and therefore source excellent cars with top pedigrees. The quality of my 911, it’s amazing service history and outstanding condition, gave me great confidence to buy. I love the car, and enjoyed the whole experience and unreservedly recommend them to anyone who wants to buy a prestigious car without the worry. I look forward to calling in and having a cup of tea occasionally and admiring their stock.

***Update Feb 2023***I have now purchased my 2nd Porsche from Harbour Cars last weekend. A stunning low mileage midnight blue, manual, well spec’d 997.1 Turbo. Throughout the entire ownership of my 1st Porsche Harbour were always supportive and helpful. Simply a high quality business all round.I bought through Harbour Cars 1st time round based on other peoples reviews. I bought the 2nd time based on my own experience.Thank you very much again to Sam and the team at Harbour. It’s a pleasure working with you. Look forward to catching up in the near future.————————————————————————————————–I recently purchased a 2009 Porsche 911 997.2 4CS from Harbour Cars.I could not be happier with the service I received. I had a great buying experience.Sam and the team provided a high level of attention to detail at each step filling me with confidence in what was personally a big purchase.The car was presented in such excellent condition that if I didn’t know my 911 models I would have believed it was literally brand new.Comprehensive details of the car’s history along with in-depth reports undertaken by Harbour of a full inspection including an Over Revs report were well presented in an easy unrushed manner.And to top it off I have an excellent years warranty provided by Harbour that assures confidence in their after service.I have had good car buying experiences in the past, but this was on another level. So I would highly recommend Harbour Cars based on my experience and I hope in the future to be a customer again.Thanks,Niall

I come here to dream!

Text book experience – highly recommended and will definitely be my first choice if and when it comes to changing cars. Thanks a lot again!

Sam and team made the whole buying process a real pleasure. Delighted with the car, well prepared and presented. Thank you.

Andy c poole.Many thanks to Sam and team for supplying the immaculate z4 recently.the prepation and cover provided for first year makes purchase of any vehicle here worry free.great service many thanks to sam

A very big thank you to Sam for a very easy and straightforward purchase of my Macan from my first viewing to the handover day I couldn’t be happier! Harbour cars go that extra mile I highly recommend them.

Just collected my lovely 981 Cayman S from Harbour Cars. I am thrilled with the car and the purchase experience has been exceptional. Sam and Geoff are brilliant, no hard sell, genuine guys and amazingly knowledgeable of all Porsche cars and they offer so much time to explain every fine detail.The car was prepared to the highest standard and is as close to new as possible. I’m looking forward to enjoying my first Porsche and in the future I hope to purchase again from them – I won’t be looking elsewhere!Thanks Harbour Cars.

I recently bought a Cayman 981 S from Harbour Cars and the process was flawless. Geoff answered all my many questions with what was clearly a great understanding of the current market. From initial call to test drive and collection nothing was too much trouble which made the whole experience really enjoyable. Geoff has checked in with me a couple times since collecting the car just to ensure I had no issues. Would absolutely recommend Harbour Cars

I am now the proud owner of a 911 GTS, my 1st Porsche. From the initial telephone conversation to the handover of keys, Geoff was extremely accommodating and made me feel at ease. The initial viewing of the car, Geoff described the car in detail and showed me all the functions. On the test drive, he drove the car 1st and demonstrated all the driving controls and the pdk gearbox. Then my turn to take the wheel, he talked me through driving it back to the showroom. On the day of collection, the car was in the showroom with a welcome note, nice touch! Paperwork was checked again in detail, explaining about the warranty, recovery service, keys ect. After the weekend Geoff called to ask how I’m getting on with the car, any issues to call them. Extremely satisfied. Thanks Geoff and Sam.

exceptional service and stockFollowing my recent purchase, I could not fault the highest level of professionalism and service from Harbour Cars. Combine this with the impeccable quality and presentation of their stock, it is plain to see – a specialist dealer with a business founded upon ‘very satisfied’ repeat customers.

Recently bought my Porsche Cayman s from harbour car and Geoff. He was so helpful and friendly made the whole process very easy . I can’t say enough good things about Harbour cars . Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Porsche . Thanks Geoff for helping me get my perfect car

Professional, informative, flexible and honest. Fantastic team and found just the car I wanted. Nice job guys! Special me tonight to Geoff for looking after me.

Our first Porsche and what a fabulous experience. We were very looked after by Geoff who clearly explained everything, and more.As for our 3.4 Carman S, what a beautiful car. Irrespective of the terrible weekend weather performed beautifully.Thank you to all the team. First class outfit.Rich & Jan Westbrook

I was lucky enough to buy my first Porsche from Harbour Cars! In my opinion buying your first sports car is a very daunting experience and after looking at many dealers I would definitely recommend the friendly, patient and polite service from this company! They treat customers with a friendly and professional service, I would definitely recommend this company to family friends and anyone else thinking about buying a Porsche. Thank you

I purchased my Boxster S 981 last week. From the first phone call to driving the car away was a smooth as silk. They were helpful, informative, and not pushy. Geoff and his team are responsive and well informed about the Brand. Looking forward to becoming a repeat customer in the near future.

I recently bought a Mercedes C43 from Harbour Cars and couldn’t be happier. The service was amazing from start to finish, much better than the main dealers I visited. I got a very good PX price and the purchase price was very competitive. I would definitely recommend them.

Needed to sell on my Cayman, but didn’t want to do so privately with unkown folk turning up just wanting test drives and didn’t fancy the brokers selling cars on your behalf.Harbour Cars were professional throughout, offered a fair price, were prompt with payments & pickup.If you don’t want to sell privately, want a hassle free and professional experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Harbour Cars.

Harbour Cars were really professional and made my 911 purchase experience very easy. All my important questions were answered before I had to ask them with respect to service history/paper work. Sam is a really nice guy and went out of his way to help in any way that he could. They were also really organised with respect to covid. I would 100% recommend them.

Great cars & great service!Bought my Porsche Boxter S 3 months ago, Sam made the process really easy, especially as I was a bit nervous of spending a lot of money on a used car. They had some great stock & I was able to try different options such as test driving a Cayman S manual and the Boxster S automatic, which I went with. There was no sales pressure applied and I ended up with a fantastic Boxster S which due to it’s condition all my friends and family can’t believe is nearly 8 years old. While I was there I bumped into another customer who was upgrading the Cayman he had bought from Harbour cars to a 911, maybe in a couple of years I may do the same, if so I would definitely use them again!

I had been looking for a porsche for some time and I was nervous about buying blind – but the honest and genuine conversations I had with Sam about the car put my mind at rest – I bought it over the phone within an hour of making the first call. The car was beautifully prepared on pick up day and Sam took time to talk me through it. A great (and easy) buying experience from a team who clearly know and love these cars. Its a great machine which I am thoroughly enjoying. Thanks again.

Well, if you’re thinking of buying a Porsche these guys understand them completely. They also fully understand the luxury buying experience. No obsequious service, just good, honest, quality service. It is important to understand that they buy all the cars they sell , so unlikely to shift a dodgy motor, also with the warranties, and the detailed approach to preparing the car, and the all around ease of purchase, this seller should be on your list. I dealt with Sam. A pleasure to deal with him, and although it was my first Porsche, never once did he make me feel that I was asking a silly question. Just very helpful; could easily set up a training school to train all those guys in this market who are just too UTOAs to sell!Go, visit Harbour Cars for your Porsche purchase. They make a decent coffee too.

After 6 years of ownership we decided it was time to part with our 997 Cab. A difficult decision but a process made so easy by Geoff, Bob and the team who were approachable, professional and straightforward. We were offered a very reasonable price and the transaction was completed quickly and efficiently. Thanks Harbour Cars. I would definitely recommend and if I’m in the market for another Porsche I won’t hesitate to get in touch.

I purchased a lovely 981 Cayman GTS from Harbour Cars earlier this year. Lockdown arrangements were still in place, so the transaction was completed remotely. Sam was great to deal with, providing a really detailed and honest description of the car (including a helpful video walk-around) and a very fair part-exchange on my then current car. On collection, the Cayman was exactly as described and extremely well prepared, as were the other cars in the showroom.I find the true quality of a business is revealed when they are called upon to solve problems. I had a couple of very minor issues (more to do with my fussiness), which were fully resolved without hesitation and with absolute grace. Communication was exemplary throughout.I have been really fortunate to have bought Porsches from a number of reputable specialists, and in my opinion Harbour Cars are up with the very best. I’d highly recommend a call or visit now the showroom is open again – Sam and Geoff will give you a warm welcome with absolutely no pressure (the stock speaks for itself!).

I recently sold my Porsche (unfortunately due to moving houses) to harbour cars and had an excellent experience. The offer was very reasonable (well above webuyanycar) and the process went smoothly. During the sale I got a chance to meet Geoff and Sam (both very knowledgeable and friendly) and see the showroom which is spectacular! From my experience their stock is much better than what I’ve seen from Porsche Approved. Based on that I would also recommend buying from them – I know I will once my house purchase is over! Thanks for the business!

I recently bought a Porsche Cayman gts from Harbour Cars. The car was immaculately presented and the information provided to me by Sam and Geoff on its history gave me the confidence that I was buying an excellent example. The friendly service from start to finish from the Harbour Cars team just added to the enjoyment of the buying experience. I thoroughly recommend them.

We recently viewed and purchased a Porsche from Sam and Geoff at Harbour Cars and we’re very pleased with the whole experience. They were very quick to respond to my initial enquiry, including extra photos and info about the car.I was able to arrange a viewing and test drive the next day.The showroom is very smart and clean and the car was in great condition, despite still awaiting its detailing. Sam took us out individually for a drive which was great, luckily the sun came out!The whole sale process was easy and efficient, including the part exchange of our previous car.Following pickup Sam check up with us after a couple of weeks to make sure the car was as expected and we have been happy with it since.The included one year warranty is a comfort as well as the paint protection.On the whole, we’re very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend them.

The thing that makes any company providing a service stand out is attention to detail. That’s what you get from Harbour Cars. I’ve just purchased a Cayman from them and everything from their advice about selling on my current Porsche to the fact that they have followed up a couple of times post sale to see how things are going gives you a strong sense that they actually care about customer experience. What helped seal the deal was the fact that every car from Harbour comes with a one year full warranty included. This was a very expensive purchase for me and knowing that I have that back up there gives me real peace of mind. Thanks Sam and Geoff, it’s been a pleasure buying from you.

I bought a car from Harbour cars a few weeks ago and found the whole process a refreshing change from the main dealer networks. The first car I drove was not the one I bought, but Geoff called shortly afterwards to inform me that they had something of interest coming into stock. Sure enough it was exactly what I was looking for. They took a great deal of care in preparing the car and gave a detailed handover. The after sales experience is equally of a high standard and they actively keep in touch to check on your ownership experience. I have no hesitation in recommending purchasing a car from Geoff and the team. Thank you.

Harbour Cars were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. I just purchased my first Porsche from them. It was clear that they don’t drive a hard sales technique and are not pushy. They are responsive and helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Special shout out to Sam and Jeff. Very friendly, honest, and knowledgeable. Would not hesitate to deal with them again.

I have recently bought my 4th Porsche from Harbour Cars. They source extremely high quality stock, often cars that they’ve sold before, so there’s a huge emphasis on quality, expertise & customer service which is their hallmark! Also the preparation standards are exemplary making the collection of my new car an absolute pleasure! No need to look anywhere else for my next car – I’ll be back soon!

I have purchased my first Porsche car & I chose Harbour Cars to supply it. I initially looked at cars available from OPC dealerships then I saw Harbour Cars website, it was plain to see their professionalism & passion for the Porsche marque. It gave me confidence to contact them. They pick the finest vehicles available & then present them immaculately. The guys are very helpful & provide a personal service, that’s sometimes lacking with larger franchise dealerships. Thank you Rob & Sam for making the dream reality. Martyn

100% the best car purchasing experience to date!

The only place to buy a Porsche! Friendly knowledgeable people. Cars beautifully presented.

Bought a Porsche C4S from them car was as they said it would be lovely, first class services and great people to deal with I’ve had some expensive cars in my time from new to used but this is the best service I’ve come across.

I purchased a Mercedes about 12 years ago and the service then was exceptional, so I was very pleased that I went back to buy a Porsche Cayman and the service hasn’t changed, Sam was very professional, thoughtful and made our purchase so easy, this is the only company I would buy a porsche or mercedes from there cars are presented to a very high standard and after care is exceptional.

Highly recommended dealer and nothing but good words to say about Rob and Geoff who were incredibly pleasant, honest, and sincere to deal with and made the transaction as smooth as possible with no issues whatsoever. I shall certainly use them again in the future. Thanks again!

Great experience from first contact to picking the car up. Geoff was friendly, helpful and communication was prompt. Superb car, well presented and sensibly priced.Oh and there Covid controls were excellent!

I have just sold my Cayman to Harbour Cars and have been extremely happy dealing with the whole team from start to finish. I will buy or sell a car with them again in the future with full confidence. 5*. Thanks guys.

We highly recommend Harbour Cars. Sam was our main point of contact and provided a professional service throughout which resulted in the purchase of a top quality car and customer experience.

What a great amazing experience dealing with Sam at Harbour Cars. In the current pandemic Sam made the whole buying process extremely easy. There is nothing these guys don’t know about all things Porsche. Thanks again. Noel.

I was very apprehensive, and had been for some time, about buying a car during lockdown. However, when what I considered to be the car of my dreams appeared on Harbour Cars’ website, I very tentatively decided that I just had to take the plunge. I need not have worried at all, both Sam, and Geoff in particular, allayed all my fears and combined to make it a truly exceptional experience. Nothing was too much trouble, none of my questions, now matter how trivial or basic, were met with easily understandable and full answers. Between them they produced a fully comprehensive and detailed handover video, adding some very touching personal touches. They were 100% professional, polite, courteous and respectful throughout the whole process. I now have the car of my dreams (Aston Martin DB9, 6.0l, V12, Q special) and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. I am convinced, even though I have rated at 5 stars, and was totally satisfied with the whole process, it would have been even better under normal circumstances which would have presented me with a difficulty – I know I would have wanted to give them 6!

I sold my 911 Carrera S (Gen 2) to Harbour Cars in July last year. Geoff and the team could not have been more straightforward and easy to deal with. Made the process of selling a cherished car painless. Many thanks.

I would thoroughly recommend Harbour Cars, 1st class experience, my first ever Porsche Cayman, stunning car, presented like new! Sam was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable. Well done Harbour Cars!

Collected my first Porsche from Harbour Cars and am delighted with it. The lockdown situation presents challenges with buying cars the traditional way, but Sam made the process really easy & couldn’t be happier with the Boxster they had which I now get to own & drive. Thanks very much — Chris

An absolute pleasure dealing with harbour cars. Not easy to buy a high quality used Porsche during lockdown but these guys gave me total confidence in the car I was buying. A fully professional service from start to finish with personalised videos, every detail shared and every question I had answered.Thank you Sam – pleasure doing business and I will be back

Extremely pleased with the service and car we recently brought from Harbour cars. Sam’s knowledge of the models and brand left me feeling 100% happy buying a car we could not see or test drive. The car had been through a thorough check over, any questions we ask could be answer quickly and honestly. On collection the level of preperation was excellent it looked like a new car, thanks to Sam and Goeff. We will certinaly use them in the future.

This was the first time I bought a Porsche unseen from an independent dealer. All business was done by phone and a live video stream of the car. Geoff put me at ease and positive reviews from a fellow Porsche club member and a reassuring phone call to my independent Porsche mechanic who deals with Harbour Cars helped too. We had to deal with the challenges from the COVID pandemic but Geoff, ably assisted by Sam made the process as easy as possible. Sam’s knowledge of the 911 is encyclopaedic! I am delighted with my 991 Carrera and had the best road trip to bring her home.

I have always admired from afar the Mercedes SL55 AMG and decided after Christmas to treat myself. I found Harbour Cars via an Autotrader search and after some research it was clear they were a quality dealer with an outstanding reputation.Sam was superb; super responsive and helpful. He sent me several personalised videos and politely checked in to see if I needed anything further without being intrusive. I visited the showroom during lockdown 3 so was only able to view the car from the outside. As soon as I arrived I was hugely impressed with the detailing and condition of the car which was even better than I had expected. I was a bit concerned about purchasing a car I had not test driven or had the opportunity to view the interior. The following weekend I went to collect the car and didn’t regret my decision for a second. The car is stunning, immaculate and drives beautifully.Sam even called to follow up on how the drive home went (I had never driven a car like it before!) and gave me care advice. I would not hesitate to recommend Harbour Cats (Sam in particular) to anyone considering buying from them. I haven’t come across a better dealer.

Harbour Cars have a very positive attitude towards customer service. I had a small issue with the car post purchase and Sam quickly identified a service company local to me to replace the parts. Very happy with the car and the buying experience. I can recommend.

I had been looking at 981 Cayman S for a while and Harbour cars got just the model I was after in stock. Geoff was brilliant and kept us informed all the way through the process. The car was in stunning condition when we picked it up, would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again

I recently purchased a Carrera GTS from Harbour cars and I felt it important to say what a pleasure it is to do business with Sam, Geoff and Rob.The car was beautifully prepared and all the business dealings were very appropriate in these difficult Covid times.Harbour cars offer a professional service with a very honest approach and I would happily recommend them, if you’re looking to buy a good Porsche.

I’ve just bought a Porsche 981 Cayman S from Harbour Cars. They prepare the cars thoroughly and with the utmost care, and are extremely knowledgeable about all things Porsche. Not to mention the fantastic customer service and ongoing support they provide. Highly recommend Harbour Cars to anyone looking for a top quality Porsche.

After many years of riding high performance motorcycles I finally decided to put my leathers into semi-retirement and treat myself to a Porsche. After some extensive searching for a low mileage Cayman 981 2.7 I came across Harbour Cars who came up trumps with the car I had been looking for. I had a chat with Sam who guided me through the finer aspects of Porsche ownership and a trip down to Chichester for a test drive was arranged. I had a lengthy drive with Sam where he explained in great detail the specifics of the engine characteristics and he then ran through all the switchgear ancillaries so that I was well versed in what did what. We returned to the showroom and then I went for a spin with my daughter. Within 5 minutes the decision was made! Welcome to Porsche ownership. I must say that the customer service at Harbour Cars was excellent throughout and it is obvious that they have a real passion for all things Porsche. I would not hesitate in recommending Harbour Cars to anyone thinking of entering into Porsche ownership.

It gives me great pleasure to recommend Harbour Cars, Chichester.Last August I contacted several Porsche Dealers, including Harbour Cars, asking them to contact me should they come across a second hand Porsche Boxster which met my specifications.Geoff Wickins of Harbour Cars was the only salesman who took the trouble to contact me, as he had found exactly the car I wanted.Geoff could not have been more helpful or provided a more professional service from the time he contacted me to when I purchased the Boxster last week.The car had been prepared to the highest standard and looked from both exterior and interior like a brand new Porsche.Nigel Windridge – a very happy & satisfied customer.

Just collected my 981 Boxster S from Harbour Cars, the car is absolutely superb and the whole buying experience from start to finish was great. I have bought Porsche’s from main dealers previously and to be honest Harbour Cars put them to shame. Thanks again Geoff for all your help, hope to see you again next time if the wife will let me.

Having viewed a number of 911 Turbo’s locally ( N Ireland) that just didn’t seem to be in pristine condition, I extended my search and came upon Harbour Cars. When contacted about this model, Sam sent me a few video’s and photo’s of the car. It certainly seemed to be immaculate and with full service history. We made a deal over the phone and I booked my flight to go and pick the car up. Upon arrival the car was indeed perfect and just as Sam had explained. I certainly enjoyed my drive home!I would highly recommend Harbour cars, thanks again Sam…….

In a time where ‘lockdown’ prevents anyone from viewing ‘in the flesh’, Sam and Geoff have managed to find a way to put your mind at rest about what to expect of their cars. From the excellent communication through email and phone conversations, to the detailed videos of your chosen car, you can be confident that there will be no surprises.I am totally delighted with my purchase and the standard of service that Harbour Cars have delivered.

I sold my 997 GTS to Harbour Cars. I sent them a email with the details of the vehicle and a few pictures. The next day Geoff phoned me with an offer that I was happy with. After they had viewed the car and its paperwork, the money was in my account within a couple of hours. It was a very easy and pleasant experience. If you are looking to sell your Porsche then I would highly recommend Harbour Cars.

Recently bought my 991.1 from Harbour Cars and can’t praise Geoff highly enough for his impeccable service from the first telephone enquiry to test drive to collection day. Having deliberated over buying a 911 for sometime, to buy through a business that choses its stock very carefully and importantly has a rigorous approach to preparation, this instilled great confidence in the buying process. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy my next Porsche from Harbour Cars and would encourage anyone wanting to scratch that Porsche itch to get in touch with Geoff & team.

I found a number of 911’s on Autotrader that I was interested in. I clicked through to the Dealers websites. I particularly liked a 911 997 in silver from Harbour cars. The car looked to be in superb condition. The photos were really well taken. I contacted the Dealer via their contact us page. I received a call from Sam shortly afterwards. He was very enthusiastic & knowledgable about the car in question. After a few days of chatting with Sam & his colleague (Geoff) I decided to take a leap of faith to buy & pay for the car without seeing it but on the understanding that if I wasn’t happy I would get a full refund. The car was every bit as good as they had described. I am extremely happy with the car & the buying experience provided by Harbour Cars. Well done to the whole team.

Picked up my Cayman last weekend and couldn’t be happier.Sam and his colleagues made the whole process feel very special and displayed a great deal of patience as i asked thousands of questions (even though I had been given a very comprehensive tour and explanation anyway!)Living >150 miles away, I particularly appreciated the video tour given the previous week that allowed me to ask to look at any element of the car without having to travel 3 hours each way.My first Porsche purchase but when I’m ready for the next one, I will definitely be calling Harbour first

Very happy to recommend Harbour Cars. I recently purchased my Cayman R from Harbour Cars and the whole experience was positive from placing the order through to collection. Sam, Geoff and the team were very helpful throughout the process and my car was presented exactly as described.This made the collection a memorable experience for my son and I, and the drive back home to Scotland was a fantastic.

I recently purchased my Boxster S from Harbour Cars. I placed a deposit after an initial call in which all my questions were answered and a WhatsApp video call in which I was able to see any areas I was concerned about. The ever helpful and patient Geoff kept me updated on the preparation process for the car and addressed any issues that arose. On collection the car was exactly as described (if not better), the history file and paperwork was carefully arranged and the car beautifully presented. A first class experience and I would not hesitate in buying from Geoff and Rob at Harbour Cars again.

I had been looking for a 997 for a while and came across Sam at Harbour Cars. Sam was always extremely open and helpful and the quality and level of preparation of their cars is unrivalled. When I viewed the car, I was surprised (to the upside) at how immaculate it was.Even after my purchase, Harbour Cars have checked in to ensure everything is going well, and I know they are always available if there are any issues.If you are looking for a Porsche, I highly recommend giving Sam a call as the service, level of preparation and quality of all their cars is truly impressive.Henry

I would definitely recommend Harbour Cars, their cars are superbly presented and Sam and Geoff are friendly, knowledgeable and helped make a lifelong dream come true for me. Nothing was too much trouble and I feel safe in the knowledge that in the unlikely event of there being a problem, it would be resolved efficiently and professionally.Many thanks again especially to Sam for making it all so easy and a pleasurable experience.

I can’t fault my experience with Geoff at Harbour cars. Helpful from the outset. They’ve gone the extra mile to cope with the Covid lockdown restrictions.I spotted a Porsche Boxster and had the confidence to purchase click & collect, sight unseen. I wasn’t disappointed! Collected the car today – perfectly described, immaculately prep’d. Stunning! I couldn’t be happier with the transaction. The whole process has given me additional confidence that if I have any issues with the car there’s the 12 month bumper to bumper warranty. Thanks Geoff. A pleasure doing business with a gentleman.

Recently purchased a Cayman S from Sam at Harbour Cars. The entire experience from viewing to collection was fantastic. Certainly the most professional, thorough and basically just pleasant, happy and helpful dealer I’ve ever dealt with. I think I’ll be keeping this Cayman for sometime but when it does come time for a change, Harbour Car will be my first port of call for a replacement.

Some excellent Porsches, very well presented.

Great bunch of chaps and very nice cars, beautifully prepared.

Swapped my old SL for a much newer version. Sam’s the man!Excellent service all round.

Without a doubt the best garage I have ever dealt with, a superb service from start to finish.

all ways a good selection of porsche s. very knowledgeable.and friendly. no pressure to buy

Fantastic customer service from start to finish. Meticulous and efficient, wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again!Thanks again!

Wonderful garage. We dealt with Sam and it was an absolute pleasure. He was very knowledgable but there was no pressure. Great experience.

Excellent service from Geoff and the team at Harbour Cars. Lovely Cayman 987S – thank you guys! This is how buying a car should be – highly recommended.

Excellent! Just Excellent. My first experience of buying a performance car and every effort was made to ensure I was comfortable and happy throughout the process. From the initial phone call, to the video tour of the car and the sales process itself, I was thoroughly looked after. These guys go the extra mile! My car is awesome ! Thank you so much !

I cannot recommend these guys highly enough.Having recently exchanged my Boxster for a 911 at Harbour Cars, I doubt that I would consider going anywhere else when the time comes to change again.They provide a friendly, comprehensive service & their vehicle preparation is second to none. Give them a call !

The whole buying experience from start to finish was great, we wanted to buy our Porsche from Harbour Cars because of the quality of the cars, their reputation and the customer service they provide.We love our car, thanks you Harbour CarsRichard & Cautheen

Highly RecommendedSam provided an excellent service assisting with my search for a Cayman S. Very knowledgable about the product and the various options available and the top quality cars presented to a very high standard at Harbour Cars. Would not hesitate strongly recommending this specialist.

Second time dealing with Harbour Cars and second time of being very happy! Geoff was simply amazing from start to finish and answered all my queries perfectly and professionally. They have supplied me with my dream car twice and I am sure there will be a third and fourth time!

Absolutley superb service and high quality cars. Geoff was very honest, not pushy and a pleasure to deal with. This is my first Porsche and I wanted the security of buying from a specialist, and I wasn’t disappointed. Businesses like this are few and far between and owning my own family run busniness, I appreciated they way my purchase was dealt with.

Harbour cars recently purchased my Porsche Macan S. Great service all the way through the process and a firm you can really trust. Sam and the rest of the team were very professional and would definitely sell to them in the future.

Exceptional service from first enquiry to completion of the transaction. Geoff and Rob are very professional and a pleasure to deal with. Although they were taking a car from me – I would not hesitate to recommend them over and above dealing directly with a Porsche Franchised Dealer – hopefully one day I can go back and purchase a vehicle from them. First class!

Recently bought a Porsche 911 from Geoff at Harbour cars via the telephone, i didn’t want to travel the distance to view the car so Geoff walked me round the vehicle whilst on the phone, detailing any imperfections. The car was delivered to me and i can only say that I’m delighted with it, would not hesitate to reccomend them.

We can’t remember a more enjoyable and delightful car purchase than that overseen by by Geoff at Harbour Cars in Chichester. Every detail was handled professionally and the preparation of our car was astonishing. No hesitation in recommending Harbour Cars and giving them 5 stars

I can not recommend Harbour Cars highly enough, Geoff, Chris and Kevin are a fantastic team and clearly love what they do and it shows.I purchased my dream car Audi TT Quattro from Harbour Cars, the customer service and the treatment of the vehicles is the best I’ve ever experienced.I would recommend Harbour Cars to anyone who wants to purchase a quality product from a knowledgeable team that clearly care about customer service.I would purchase another car from Harbour Cars in a heartbeat.Marnie Martin-SmithSent from my iPhone

I had my car for sale and i got a call from Harbour Cars, they wanted to purchase the vehicle. We basically agreed a very reasonable price over the phone, and i was assured that as long as the car was in the condition I had described, they would pay that price. Everything went very smoothly and they were really friendly and helpful. Probably one of the best selling experiences I have had. They were honest about how much they would market the vehicle for too. I would definitely sell to them again. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them. Even afterwards i needed a copy of the warranty I had on the vehicle, and they sent it straight away.

This was our first experience of buying a performance car and Sam, Geoff and the team went the extra mile (and many more) to make sure the experience was an enjoyable one. We first wanted to just take a test drive in a Cayman, which was one of their stock-list cars, so there may not have even been a sale and, of course, it had to be cleaned to pristine condition again after our little gaunt. We then found out they sourced cars, so we provided a list of the things we wanted in the car and they went to work. Sure enough, a suitable car was found (in Newcastle) after a few weeks’ looking. Obviously, someone then had to go to Newcastle to collect it and bring it to Chichester. It didn’t have a sat nav but Harbour employed a trusted guy to fit it. Then, after delivery, we wanted a dash cam fitted, so I had to take it back to them for the same guy to fit that. And, even though I was paying a third party, Sam dropped me off in Chichester while the work was being done and then Mike, another team member, picked me up when the work had been completed. So, overall, the service was brilliant, and we would recommend Harbour Cars as the place to get your Porsche (and other makes, obviously!).

Our recent purchase of a Golf GTI was a great pleasure at Harbour Cars.This is a well organised and experienced company selling cars of excellent quality.Chris was so helpful from our first enquiry through to collection of our car, at no time were we made to feel under pressure to buy.Kev’s preparation of the cars can only be described as exceptional.The aftercare received to date also lives up to the standards of our ‘buying experience’.We have no hesitation in making this review and we would highly recommend Harbour Cars and the team.

For the first time, after some 53 years and twenty-odd cars, I actually bought a car without seeing it in the flesh. It was quite a long way away but the car itself, a Porsche Boxster S, certainly looked nice from the photos and description, and after a few calls back & forth with Sam & his colleague Geoff they gave me the confidence to trust Harbour Cars so I took the plunge, part-exchanging my Boxster.Come collection day, I was still pretty nervous, but on meeting the guys and seeing the car itself I was more than delighted. Everything was as described, and a nicer bunch you couldn’t wish to deal with; what is usually a rather fraught experience was transformed into a very happy one.Many thanks to Sam, his colleague Geoff, and everyone at Harbour Cars – you fully deserve your excellent reputation.Highly recommended!

I don’t usually write reviews but feel these guys really deserve it! Both Sam and Geoff were exceptional throughout the process. The car was bought without viewing in person and it’s not something I would usually do, however I knew the vehicle would be as described after chatting to Sam and with it being such a low mileage and all necessary due diligence checks I left the guy’s at Harbour a deposit and then proceeded to make sure the funds were in place before I collected the vehicle during the festive period. I dealt with Sam personally and he was nothing short of superb and there are many dealers and especially main dealerships that could do with taking a leaf out of his book. The whole process was effortless and the car was presented to an excellent high standard. I wouldn’t hesitate to do business with them again. Thanks again guys.

Sam was a consummate professional from start to finish, managing the sale of my Cayenne with thorough care and consideration. He was friendly, supportive and highly knowledgeable, going out of his way to ensure I was both happy and comfortable with the entire process. Nothing was too much trouble which made this a thoroughly effortless experience, thank you!!Gratitude also to Kev for his immaculate preparation of the car, it looked exceptional at pick-up!!It was a real pleasure and I would hope to do business with Harbour Cars again in the future.

What can I say, I don’t often give reviews and when I do I very rarely give 5 stars but these guys deserve it. Right from the start Sam has been a true professional, the 996 was prepared to a very high standard and I would even go as far as to say it was perfect which makes negotiating difficult!I genuinely believe they are all Porsche enthusiasts and looking at the cars in the showroom they only source the best available, the buying experience and the 996 have both been first class. Highly recommended.

Thanks you Geoff.The test drive was relaxed and assuring. We tried a C4S and a C2S.Geoff knew straight away that I had fallen for the C2S manual and helped me through my decision.Having arrived at Harbour cars it was never a question of whether I should buy from them, just a question of which one I should pick.The hand over and the preparation of the car was better than buying brand new from a Porsche dealer.I have the comfort of the Harbour Warranty too.A great dealer and experience!

I had been looking for a long time for the perfect Cayman S and found the one at Harbour cars, I phoned and spoke to Sam who was very professional and knowledgeable about the car, I then arranged a flight from Newcastle to Southampton to view, test drive and purchase the vehicle this is how confident I was after speaking with Sam. The service I received was outstanding and the car was as described.I would genuinely like to thank Sam and Harbour cars for a great buying experience that got me the perfect car, if your in the market for a top class sports car then this is the place to go.

Sold my Boxster GTS to Harbour Cars which was an excellent experience. From start to finish Geoff and Rob were honest, extremely welcoming and made a very good offer on my car which they stuck to once they had viewed it. I spent a few hours chatting to Geoff, felt like I’d know him for years! The process was was painless, Harbour Cars really excelled and took customer service to another level. I hope to buy my next Porsche from Harbour Cars.

I bought a 997 2S about 6 months ago. Very easy process from start to finish and the guys at Harbour Cars made me feel very welcome. The car was great and in excellent condition. A few weeks ago I had an issue with the ventilation fan in the car and I ran it down to them and it was all fixed in a couple of hours. A new fan motor was fitted, all covered under the warranty. Again this was really easy and all done when convenient to me. Sam and Geoff are both available on the phone to answer any questions. When I look for the next one, this is the place I will start.

Sam is an amazing concierge to the Porsche brand. He made me feel at home and comfortable with asking as many questions as I needed. Nothing but World Class service with a smile.Thanks again Sam for the great experience

Recently purchased a 911 from Harbour Cars. Had a great experience; car was in excellent condition and well prepared for sale. Full check by local Porsche specialist and comprehensive warranty gave confidence. Geoff was good to deal with and took time to explain the car thoroughly to us. Nice touches on pick up like a personalised sign and replacing a component that they thought wasn’t up to standard that I wouldn’t have noticed. Would have no hesitation in dealing with them again.

We were looking to sell our car as no longer needed so contacted Harbour Cars via email. Sam called us to run through the spec and came back later with a fair offer for the Porsche Macan, which we acceptedRob traveled 3 hours to see us and appraise the car. He was thorough, very personable and knowledgeable, clearly having a high standard of cars he buys. Suffice to say we did the deal and he drove the car away and sold it very quickly.When looking for another car I will definitely be keeping an eye on Harbour Cars stock and would not hesitate buying a car from them now I know the high standard they expect.Thank you for a seamless transaction.

Very knowledgeable. Was made to feel welcome

Fantastic service received really couldn’t do enough to make sure I was happy with everything able to answer all questions even had call follow up after I purchased a fabulous gla 45 AMG fro harbour cars to ensure all was well highly recommend harbour cars very happy customer

All the cars are presented to an incredibly high standard. The quality is exceptional and you will genuinely struggle to find vehicles in the condition and with the provenance anywhere else.

Purchased a boxter GTS from Harbour Cars. They are a first class Porsche independent dealer. First class service, first class premises and best of all first class cars. Would buy again in a heartbeat from them.

I recently went to view a 911 at Harbour cars and the service was superb. Chris was open and honest and answered all my questions, really helping me to understand everything about the car and its options. On top of this I was able to have a proper test drive and really get a feel for the car. Highly recommended team.

I spoke to Chris several times over the phone before travelling from the Midlands to view the car. Nothing was too much trouble for Chris. He answered all my questions accurately and honestly.When I arrived I was impressed with the presentation of all the cars. The attention to detail was amazing.I agreed to purchase the car and asked to get it delivered by a covered low loader. Chris arranged all this seemlessly. Nothing was too much trouble. Chris agreed to the car being serviced in advance, as it was due a big service imminently and put a brand new MOT on the car all prior to delivery.Special thanks to Kev, the valleter, who really knows how to treat a car. Kev clearly has a passion.Overall a great experience and would go back.Thanks all, see you all soon!

Had the pleasure of buying a beautiful Porsche Cayman from Harbour Cars last week. The service was impeccable, no hard sell, excellent attention to detail. Upon collection the preparation of the car was fantastic, plenty of time given to familiarise myself with the car and completion of all paperwork. Chris and the team were a pleasure to deal with – thank you

I purchased a beautiful 981 Boxster S from Harbour Cars last week. I dealt with Chris, and the service from start to finish was first class. They did everything they promised and the car was handed over in pristine condition, serviced, warrantied and ready to go. I would not hesitate to recommend them, and will certainly be back.

I bought a car around 6 months ago from Harbour Cars but have waited until now to write a review as I wanted to see what would happen if I needed to make a warranty claim. That day came today when they agreed to pay for another garage to replace the A/C condensers for me without quibble. My car was already at the other garage for it’s MOT so this was a huge time-saver for me, not to mention money! I will absolutely be buying my next car from here in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Harbour Cars to anyone who asked. Best garage I’ve ever used, full-stop.

Faultless service from start to finish. Flexible viewing/test drives available and communication was superb from both Ollie and Rob. Over the moon with my choice to go with Harbour Cars and vehicle is excellent. Would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Great experience at Harbour cars, very knowledgeable people, Gary made it an easy purchase, will defanetly use againMany thanks Tony Gibbs.Went back to Harbour cars today for a slight problem and it was sorted within a matter of an hour TOP team thereGreat service. Many thanks to you all .Regards Tony Gibbs

After looking for my new car (Merc SLK55 AMG) for months on the internet, I found the one I liked the look of at Harbour Cars but it was 96 miles away from home. I was concerned that it was a long way to drive if the pictures and the write up were exaggerated (as has often been the case with other dealers), so I rang Harbour Cars and spoke to Chris who spent a lot of time going through all the questions that I had and putting my mind at rest that this car was perfect. I arranged to view the car that weekend and I wasn’t disappointed!The car was everything and more that Chris had described to me on the phone and after a test drive I bought the car. I had thought of a few questions whilst on the test drive that I wanted to ask Chris when we returned to the showroom, but I was so blown away with the car, I forgot! When I got home I rang Chris and asked the additional questions, one of which was that I thought the arm rest lid seemed loose in the centre of the car when I lifted it up to check the storage. Chris admitted that he hadn’t lifted the lid up so went to have a look there and then and confirmed that it was loose (one of the brackets was cracked) and he would have it replaced FOC (which he did).Chris and the staff in the showroom were all really friendly and normal, not like your usual car salesman! We were offered tea and coffee and I noticed a sign that said not to be offended if no-one came over to you right away, they want you to look around in peace, which is a welcome novelty in car showrooms!All the cars at Harbour Cars looked as immaculate as the one I bought and during a conversation with Chris, he told me how difficult it is to source really good cars. This told me how much effort he puts into ensuring the cars are of the highest standard.I have been in the motor trade myself for 33 years and it is very rare to come across a dealer with this level of honesty, service and with such fantastic cars.All the cars at Harbour Cars are valeted to such a high standard that if they didn’t have number plates on, you would think they were all brand new. Every car is treated with Williams ceramic coat which protects the paintwork, comes with a 12 month bumper to bumper warranty which includes breakdowns! and the after care is out of this world. We bought the car on Saturday and Chris rang on Monday to ensure that we were happy with the car and said that he would be keeping in touch to ensure all is going well with the car.I would highly recommend Harbour Cars to anyone and don’t worry about how many miles you are away from them, your journey will be worth it, and I will definitely be going back when I want another car, without wasting my time looking on the internet first.

I have never written a review before and I am , on average , in and out of 2x cars per year. I feel compelled to write this review (albeit a few weeks have passed since I took delivery of my new car) because today unfortunately so many people get the basics of customer service very wrong. The irony is that what gives most pleasure to a customer are the simple things which don’t cost anything. Gary has been an absolute Gem from the beginning to the end and since my deal was a slightly unusual part x it took some time and patience but never at one point was there any pressure. Harbour cars have gained a new customer for the future and look forward to my next 911 already …(997.2 GT3 maybe? ;-)Alex

I had been looking for a SL350 for a couple of months when I came across Harbour Cars. Although it was farther than I really wanted to travel I enquired about the car, and was quickly contacted by Chris who talked me through the car and its history. As a result of this conversation, and after reading the testimonials on the website, I decided to purchase the car unseen with the proviso that I would be refunded if the car didn’t meet my expectations.The car was exactly as described, and had been prepared to a very high standard. The fact that they include a very comprehensive warranty with all of their cars was a major factor in my decision to purchase from them. Chris was a great guy to deal with, and carefully showed me around the car explaining the various functions.Having left the showroom we had only travelled a few miles when an alarm appeared on the dash. I contacted Chris who immediately set off to help. It turned out to be a very minor problem, and we were soon on our way.I would recommend Harbour Cars to any prospective purchaser, and I fully intend to purchase my next car from them.Glen Brooks

I’ve had various experiences of ‘service’ – from main dealers and a range of independents when buying cars – but Harbour Cars are by far the best I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with to date.Having just bought a car with Gary’s help, if you are at all interested in the type of vehicles they stock, I’d recommend you contact them for a chat or by email – better still pop in to their showroom to see for yourself.Gary is a good listener. Starting from my initial phone call, he didn’t judge me on my current car or my initial ‘must haves’ for the new one – but took time to listen and also talked me through some ownership issues. Using his knowledge and experience of the marque – the various models, options and combinations available – Gary helped me re-think my original wish-list for a 911 into one that would actually deliver what I really wanted.Even better, Gary then sourced the ideal car – and made sure it was professionally prepared to their own good-as-new standards – properly inspected, fully serviced, detailed, documented and warrantied.The comprehensive Harbour Cars package was fundamental to me – as finally owning a 911 is a lifetime’s dream – trusting the people you buy it from to back up that initial sale with continued good service is vital.If you’re lucky enough to be looking on the Harbour Cars website, contemplating the car of your dreams – I’d recommend you make that call. Exceptional service so far.KC

I had done my research carefully and heard only very good things about Harbour Cars. True to form, my experience with them has been top-notch through Chris. The preparation and presentation of their cars is superb and this ultimately made the buying decision for me.So I’m now the owner of a sensational Cayman GTS, although that manual 997 Turbo caught my eye too.With Harbour Cars, you can rest assured that you’re buying quality and a level of aftercare and ongoing support second to none.I can imagine they get a lot of repeat business or business through referrals….they will get both from me I’m sure.

This is the second occasion when I have bought a vehicle from Harbour Cars. As on the previous occasion I found their staff courteous and professional, knowledgeable and informative. I would not hesitate to use this company in the future as I find them totally trustworthy.

Its not about how a company deals with the ‘sale’ of the car but how they look after you when you drive away… As soon as I had a problem with the car, they couldn’t be more helpful, they saw me the same afternoon and sorted the issue straight away – cant ask for more than this.At no stage did I feel I was being sold to, there were no cheap ad-ons they try to offer you, no pushy sales talk, no pressure. Just a great company with great guys that look after you. Thanks Oliver!

I recently purchased a 911 from Chris at Harbour Cars and really enjoyed the entire experience. He was extremely helpful and made the entire process of buying a car a real pleasure. The whole team is extremely knowledgeable, they have a wide range of stock and the prices are very competitive. I would give Harbour Cars my highest endorsement .

Having owned a couple of 911’s over the years this was undoubtably the best specialist Porsche dealer experience i have had. Extremely well presented and documented stock and Gary was superb at guiding me through the decision with skill , knowledge and humour. I’m delighted with my purchase and i would not hesitate to recommend Harbour Cars to you if you want quality, fairness and world class customer support.

Purchased a Porsche 911 GT3 from Harbour cars and couldn’t be happier. Having spent considerable time speaking to various well regarded specialist dealers and researching the model I viewed three GT3’s for sale, one of which was at Harbour Cars.Prior to travelling from London for a viewing and test drive Gary was able to provide a lot of detail on the car over the phone. The service before and after purchase was excellent and not at all pushy on sales. Gary spent a lot of time showing me the car and the test drive was extensive, all up spending over 2.5hrs going through all the necessary details.The after sales service has been excellent and Gary has followed up on my purchase with a couple of phone calls to see how I was getting on with the car.I had received positive comments from other Porsche specialists about Harbour Cars and can attest they are knowledgable, relaxed and very easy to deal with. I would happily recommend Gary and Harbour Cars to any prospective purchaser.

I just bought my first Porsche from Chris at Harbour, an exceptional buying experience from negotiation to handover. These guys really know their stuff and their enthusiasm is deeply infectious. They are far better than any main dealer I have ever dealt with, the service is very personal and tailored for you. The car I bought was beautifully prepared and I enjoy every second driving it. Thanks Chris, see you in a year or so for my next Porsche…..!

After a great deal of research on the Porsche marque, I found myself travelling to Chichester to see what ended up being the purchase of my first Porsche. I met Gary with whom I had spoken to on the phone the previous day. His approach to the whole experience and to my actual buying of the car was excellent. It was the best I have ever had at any dealership with previous car purchases. It was just a lovely calm, family type atmosphere which made you feel so relaxed.The range of cars on offer was so impressive and the care and attention to the preparation and presentation of all the models was exemplary.The After Sales Service too has been brilliant and Gary has followed up on my purchase with a couple of phone calls to see how I was getting on with the car.I would not hesitate to recommend Harbour Cars to any prospective purchaser and I certainly know where I will be heading for my next Porsche purchase.

Delighted with the customer service. Truly an exceptional independent. Recommended!

I recently bought a 911 Turbo from Harbour Cars. From the first telephone enquiry, all the way through to chatting over how the car is performing, the team are fantastic. They take real pride in what they are selling – I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a Porsche.

Would fully endorse buying a porsche from Gary and the team at Harbour Cars.They have a good stock level and are upfront and transparent in talking through the purchasing experience and the prep of the car your interested in.The cars are prepped to a very high standard with a full breakdown of any work carried out.Its a special, yet grounded experience, where you’re not being sold a load of waffle.I would buy again from Harbour cars, given the assurances of such a reputable dealer.

Hi GaryJust a quick mail to thank you and all your staff, for the smooth purchase of my car.When I first popped in with no appointment, after seeing the car advertised, I met Kev.He explained the car wasn’t there at that time, but was so helpful,with a few of my questions.From the first minute to now i am absolutely delighted with my purchase.The team you have at Harbour cars are so knowledgeable about the vehicles you are selling,and a pleasure to do business with.I must just finish saying, I cannot believe the standard of preparation of the car,it was like a new vehicle (incredible).Once again many thanks to you and if you could pass on to the rest of the teamKind regards StuartSent from my iPad

Absolutely superb service from Chris who made my first-ever Porsche purchase a real pleasure. Every aspect of the car was explained and good advice on after-care and ownership given. Their cars are stunning and immaculate. Can’t recommend Harbour Cars enough if you are looking for a pristine pre-owned Porsche.

Excellent buying experience when purchasing a pre-owned Porsche through Harbour Cars. Nothing was too much trouble for the team in organising things and making sure I had a positive experience. Oliver and Chris were extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and the standards of preparation were excellent. I’d highly recommend them – in a world where car dealers don’t have the greatest reputation, these guys stand out as really putting customer service at the heart of what they do.

I have bought 2 997’s from Harbour cars and cannot recommend them highly enough. Everyone is professional, knowledgeable and passionate about the cars they sell. It’s rare to find a company that are still focused on customer service long after they have sold you a car. The first car I bought suffered some issues soon after I collected it, these were dealt with swiftly and without question. They were the first and only call I made when upgrading the car………….coffee’s nice too!

My journey and relationship with Harbour cars began before i actually purchased my first Porsche, as with many, i had a few questions and never ever did they make me feel like i was wasting their time, Chris and the team there always helped me through the thought process and we ended up purchasing a 997 generation 2 C2s PDK, there were many ‘like’ cars on the market, but because they made me feel like a customer long before i spent any money, I knew they would look after me. the hand-over process was brilliant and Chris spent a lot of time ensuring all of our questions were answered and that we were completely comfortable before driving off.If you want a non pressured sales environment with a team that are truly passionate about the quality of their cars and relationship with their customers, i strongly recommend Harbour Cars.

I bought my first Porsche from the guys at Harbour Cars a month ago and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.They were exceptionally generous with their time in guiding me through the process and were always happy to answer any questions.The buying process was all handled very professionally and the after sales care has been exemplary too.Would have no hesitation about recommending them or buying another car from them in the future.

“having purchased many Porsche’s in the past I would say overall the quality of vehicle and service received is as good as any Official Porsche Centre and in my opinion the best independent in the UK. Great Stock, Great cars, fair prices and overall a very good service. Would not hesitate in buying future cars from this dealer”

I recently purchased my 997 Turbo from Harbour Cars and throughout the whole purchase process I was dealt with professionally and enthusiastically by the team. Nothing was too much trouble and all my presales queries were answered quickly and efficiently. The car itself was immaculate both cosmetically and mechanically and it later sailed through Porsches 111 point check and a further thorough inspection and geo setup by the guys at Centre Gravity. The aftersales care from the team at Harbour Cars was spot on and a few very minor issues I experienced after purchase were dealt with and resolved speedily and efficiently. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Harbour Cars to anyone looking for a high quality well prepared Porsche and they would certainly be the first place I look if I buy another.

I recently bought a 997 Turbo from Harbour Cars and can not recommend them highly enough. Rob , Gary and the team are extremely professional and experts in their field which gives you great confidence in the cars they are sourcing and selling. The after sales service has also been fantastic unlike other garages that often let themselves down after the purchase. Based on my experience I will certainly be buying more cars from these guys in the future.

I have purchased two cars from Harbour Cars over the last couple of years, one Porsche Cayenne and one Audi A8. The team are professional yet friendly, always willing to go that extra mile to ensure the customers needs are catered for and their expert knowledge is second to none. I would not hesitate to purchase another car from them and have recommended Harbour Cars to several friends. I definitely went to Harbour Cars as a customer and am now a friend. Fully endorsed and recommended as the number 1 independent dealer in the UK.
