    Jonathan Beckenham

    Mark, it was a real pleasure doing business with such a professional in this business.  My 991.1 is perfect and your attention to detail is second to none.  There isn’t a Porsche specialist in the country as far I know that ensures their vehicles first go through Porsche for inspection and servicing ahead of sale.  Thereafter from bodyshop to detailing Mark ensured my car was delivered in A1 condition.  I did some research during the sale process and Mark is one the most respected in the business, extremely knowledgeable and diligent.  I’d have no hesitation to recommend and would certainly be in contact should I decide to change my car in the future, thanks once again.

     

    Regards

  • 911 GT3 Clubsport (991.2)

    Chris Weavertree, N. Yorks

    I don’t write reviews normally but I have had such a good experience from start to finish with Mark at Stirlings that I felt compelled to. I spoke to Mark for the 1st time 4 weeks ago and did a deal for a Porsche GT3 which in my opinion was slightly undervalued based on everything else for sale at the moment. Mark didn’t want a deposit and only asked that I take some time to think it over as it’s a large purchase. I did so and decided I definitely wanted it. From that moment on mark has pleasantly surprised me at every turn. He put 4 new tires on and let me choose the brand and type, he included unknown to me  a new indoor car cover and a Porsche trickle charger ,had the wheels refurbished in a colour of my choice and much more all for free and non of this was agreed when making the deal so I was astonished that a car dealer would do this. I was extremely nervous when the car was due to be delivered on Tuesday as I had only seen the car in pictures but to say I’m happy with the car is an understatement. It’s amazing and I honestly believe it’s one of the best examples out there. You would have to go a very long way to find a car dealer as good as this and it’s been a pleasure dealing with someone with such knowledge and integrity. Thank you so much mark and I won’t hesitate to buy from you again.

    Hi Mak

     

    Just a line to say how pleased i am with the car, your service is second to none

    Thank you for the offer to replace the rear tyre after i got a screw in it, and the tyre was not repairable.

    I felt it was unfair and not your problem, so i didn't except.

    Just shows how fair you are.

    Alan & Veronica Stranrear

    Hello Mark

    In all my years on this planet, and the purchase of many cars I have never experienced the level of service you provide. I would have thought that buying a BMW located in Penzance when I live in Scotland was a nonstarter, but I was wrong. You not only were able to deliver the car to me, but you had prepared the car to level I could not have expected and taken every step to ensure the transaction was completely trouble free. I will not hesitate to contact you when we are looking change our cars.

    Thank you again

     I would like to say a massive thank you again. I know you deal in some top end dream cars.  This really is my  top end dream car. Thanks for making it all so easy and for selling me this stunning motor. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone 👍

    Thanks

  • Boxster 2.7 987 2006

    Andrew & Anne Glossop

    Hi Mark,

     

    Thank you for meeting us today at Bristol Parkway so we could collect the Boxter. 

     

    We are so pleased with the car and can’t believe what great condition it is in for its age. We both commented on the way home that the condition you presented the car to us in was way beyond our expectations, even down to the wheel bolts being repainted!

     

    What is needed now is some good weather so we can get the roof down and enjoy the fantastic roads near us in the Peak District.

     

    Again many thanks for today and supplying such a lovely car.

     

    Kind Regards

     

    Andrew & Anne

    Hello Mark,

     

    Log book and lovely crested valve covers received today.

     

    Thanks ever so much for the most hassle-free car buying experience we’ve ever had. Our trust in you was not misplaced and the car is close to perfection.

     

    I’m now confidently zipping up and down the PDK box and have remembered the '10 second rule’. It’s like driving a new car

     

    Regards,

  • 997 GTS With Carrera Cup Aerokit

    Gary Highgate

    Hi Mark

    I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you very much for supplying me with the most amazing car, the GTS was exactly as you described it to be.

    The service you provided is second to none and very much a rarity these days, taking the car to have the steering wheel changed and the sat nav updated by Porsche Exeter along with having the seat backs painted the same colour as the car was truly above and beyond the call of duty.

    have to say that used car dealers often get negative comments and sometimes considered rogues. When it comes to Mark Pearce of Stirlings this is definitely not the case, I cannot speak highly enough of all the efforts he has gone to in supplying me with my dream car!

    I would have no hesitation recommending Mark to my friends and family as I know he is in a league of his own and will always aim to please whatever it takes. I will certainly be going back to Mark for my next car.

     

  • 997 Targa 4S

    Rob Aberdeen

    Hi Mark

    Thanks so much for the care that you have taken in preparing the 997 Targa 4S, I have been a member of various car clubs over the years and it is rare to come across a car straight from the dealer that is beautifully prepared as the 997 Targa was, a car you could take straight to a club meet , the documentation supplied was first rate.

    The Interior in the Targa is a very special place to be and i have certainly enjoyed the start of what i believe will be a very happy ownership experience. My wife Beth was also really pleased to meet you and thought you great company.

    Angus Kensington

    Hi Mark -
    Thanks so much for providing such an excellent service and car!

    It's been a real pleasure doing business with you.

    The car is beautiful and perfect. Even when pottering around it is such a lovely experience... both the interior, the controls, the engine/steering and looking over the bonnet.

    Unfortunately for you there will be many further questions to my porsche guru!
    Best, Angus

  • 997 Carrera S Convertible

    Kimon Paddinggton

    Hi Mark!

    I've been meaning to email you for a while just to say hello - I've been absolutely loving the car and can only wish I got to drive it a bit more often!

    Thought I would share a pic of the road trip Lauren and I went on in the North of Spain - honestly one of the best holidays I've ever been on. The car was perfect - and the roads too!

    Hope everything is well with you, Kimon

  • 911 991 Carrera S PDK

    Martin Cubert

    Mark, I love the new website. I thought I would just say a big thank you for my beautiful 911. The experience of buying the car has been made painless and fun by your personal dedication. You have been very understanding and not pushy in any way that I have experienced from mian dealers. So, being my first Porsche, I knew absolutely nothing about the cars. You patiently gave your time and help me decide. The car I bought from you was not the colour I had set my mind on but when I saw it and drove it, I knew it was the right one for me. Immaculately presented both inside and out and a car of such amazing quality, I can see why your reputation preceeds you in the industry. A true gent who genuinely has a passion for the marque. My own experience has shown you have gone above and beyound what I would expect from a car dealer but that is the point, you are not a dealer you are a dream maker and understand people and how difficult a decision it can be!

    Thank you Mark,

    I LOVE my car!

    Douglas Edinburgh

    Hi Mark, just thought I would drop you a quick note after having had the car for a few weeks. Its been perfect. I have done just over 1000 miles and used it as my daily driver for the last few weeks just to get used to it. Truly excellent and a real stop up from the 996.
    Hope all is well with you and thanks again.
    Douglas.

    Dave Towcester

    Hi Mark,

    I just wanted to express my thanks for making buying my first Porsche such and pain free and dare I say it, enjoyable experience. The car is stunningly beautiful, almost like new. Having wanted one since I was a small child the reality of owning one still has quite sunk in. It's a joy to drive and wonderful to look at.
    I know you're meant to play it cool when buying a car but Carolyn all but ran down the road towards it and spent the test drive stroking parts of the interior.
    It was great to meet you and do business with you.

    All the best Dave

    PS - did I mention the wheels? They make ALL the difference. Modern yet retro they really set the car off a treat.

  • Boxster RS60

    David Denbigh

     

    Thanks for everything I wasn’t looking to buy until next March but once I saw the car on your website I knew I had to have it as it was the best example of a Boxster RS60 I’d seen. It was a pleasure doing business with you as you were very professional but also very personable which is a rare thing nowadays

    The journey home was very enjoyable apart from the rain & yes the car is now gleaming under its cover in the garage. Now that its clean I can actually appreciate how well its been looked after & prepared by yourself. It probably wont see much action over the next few months but I’m already looking forward to the summer months driving through the North Wales countryside with the top down.

    Many thanks David

  • 981 Boxster S

    John Sutton

    I bought my Porsche Boxter S from Mark on 3rd December 2016. I had been following his website for several months as after reading the testimonials I decided that Stirlings was the place to go. When the car with the exact specification was offered for sale I had no hesitation and travelled from Surrey to St Ives to see it. I was not disappointed. The car was immaculately presented. It has performed beautifully since. On 2nd December 2017 the heater/air condition fan refused to turn off. I contacted Mark and he suggested that I take it to Porsche Byfleet, which I did and they fixed it. £450. Mark honoured his warranty. A warranty not written in legal jargon and small print clauses, but on a handshake. I now know the integrity of that handshake. Thank you Mark.

  • 997 C2s Conv

    Mike Truro

    Hi Mark,
    I wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for all the help and advice etc you have given me.
    I have owned a number of performance cars, but my 997 gen 2 that you had supplied has been by far the best.
    I would encourage anyone who is considering buying a second hand porsche to get you to source it and when i come to buy my next porsche, I will only buy it from you.
    It has been a joy to deal with you and I will be telling any one I know who wants a porsche to contact you, if they want to get a life enhancing vehicle that will be of the utmost quality and will be in immaculate condition.
    Best Wishes
    Mike

  • Cayman S PDK

    Janet Totnes

    I’m thrilled with my Cayman S which was delivered to me by Mark in immaculate condition. It was everything he said it would be - and more. Mark’s attention to detail is legendary and his level of customer service is second to none, making the transaction stress free and the pleasure it should be. This is the man to go to if you’re looking for a used Porsche - I cannot recommend Stirlings highly enough.

  • 991 Targa 4S Gen 2

    Paul Witney

    I also wanted to say thank you again for such a superb car, a very easy transaction, we are so pleased with the car, I love driving it and its condition is a credit to you in sourcing such a superb car.

  • 9911 991 Carrera S

    Alex High Wycombe

    Dealing with Mark took all of the stress out of selling my pride and joy. Mark offered the best price and having agreed the price over the phone, the finance was paid-off directly, and the balance in my account, within 10 minutes of him having viewed the car. All the paperwork was taken care of within 24 hours.
    This is the difference between dealing with an automotive professional with 30 years’ experience and some online franchise.

  • Cayman S PDK

    Jack Nottingham

    Mark, I wanted to say a massive thank you for way you have helped me jump into my first Porsche!
    I had been considering buying one for some time but after speaking to you I finally felt comfortable in buying the car I have dreamt of for years. The car is epic and was presented to me sparkling like new in a condition that can only be described as immaculate.
    When you spend so much money on a car (or anything) you expect service to match. The service you have given has exceeded my expectations completely and I look forward to doing business with you again the in the future.
    Anyway, time to get back in my car!
    Thanks again,
    Jack

    Aman London

    After two plus years of being without a 911, today I returned to the World of ownership. Following months of searching, I finally took delivery of a 997 Gen 2, C2S. It was totally worth the wait!
    I bought the car from Mark Pearce, of Stirlings. I simply cannot say enough positive words about Mark. His attention to detail and focus on customer service is second to none. I've been speaking with him every day for the last few weeks, and even made him lose his Face Time virginity, making for a comical story (one for another other time)! A gentleman and a scholar, he was an absolute pleasure to do business with, and I would thoroughly recommend speaking to him if you haven't already. Mark - Thank You once again for all your efforts, it is sincerely appreciated.
