Best in the industry
JP is hands down the friendliest, most down to earth and trustworthy dealer I’ve come across, truly the best in the industry. As a female first-time buyer I was skeptical about getting impartial advice and despite doing my homework, I kept hitting roadblocks. That changed the moment I contacted JP. He was incredibly attentive, going out of his way to ensure I was well-informed and making the right decision for my specific needs. I came to him via a family recommendation and now I know why. Now I’ll be the one recommending JP and Platinum Wheels to everyone looking for an honest dealership that goes the extra mile!

My experience selling a Porsche 911 Turbo S through Platinum Wheels – important read for private sellers
I’m sharing my experience to help other private sellers, especially those dealing with high-value vehicles, make informed decisions. Why I decided to sell: In early January 2026, I made the decision to sell my 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S. The car was in excellent condition, well specced, and had low mileage (±18,000 km). Entering negotiations: I approached Jean-Pierre from Platinum Wheels and dealt with him in good faith. I re**** heavily on his experience and market knowledge to guide my decision, as most private sellers would. During our discussions (both written and telephonic), I was advised that: • A realistic selling price was around R4.2 million • Similar vehicles were typically standing for 3–4 months • Market conditions were soft • Pricing aggressively was necessary to move the car • There was some urgency to decide to sell to him because of other deals he was working on. Based on this information, I believed that holding the car would mean: • Incur additional costs • Limited upside on the selling price • A risk of further depreciation I made my decision based on the guidance I received and decided to accept a lower outright purchase offer rather than consigning the vehicle. I specifically made this decision because I believed: • The car would not sell quickly • The achievable price would not be materially higher than what was presented to me Had I been told otherwise, I would have chosen a different route. What actually happened: This is where my concern is. • The vehicle sold within three days • I was later informed it sold dealer-to-dealer for R4.5 million • The same vehicle was then resold again at a higher price for R4.7 million • On 5 February, after seeing the vehicle advertised yet again, this time by a dealership in Umhlanga for R5.2 million, I personally contacted the dealership to discuss the recent transaction history of the car. • During that conversation, I explained that I was the previous owner and asked how the vehicle had moved so quickly through the market. I was told, in their words, that “you were significantly underpaid for this car and should have received at least R4.2 million.” • I understand that this is the opinion of a third party, but hearing this from another dealer, particularly one now reselling the vehicle, reinforced my concern that the market value and demand for the car was not aligned with what I was told at the time. This outcome was completely inconsistent with the market picture that had been presented to me during negotiations with Jean Pierre. Why I feel wronged: I fully understand that dealers need to make a profit, that is not the issue. The issue is that: • The information I was given directly influenced my decision • The demand for the car appeared to be stronger than what was represented to me. • The achievable selling price was materially higher than communicated Based on what transpired, I believe I was financially prejudiced by approximately R300,000–R400,000. Final thoughts and advice: This was an expensive lesson for me. If this post helps even one person avoid a similar outcome, it will have served its purpose. I would encourage private sellers to carefully consider all options before dealing with Platinum Wheels.
