I always find this a strange concept, buying a second hand car you have never actually seen for real or more importantly taken for a test drive. Weather looks good for this morning in Towcester as the light shower they forcast for between 8am and 9am appears to be breaking up over Oxford. However it looks like there will be heavy showers on the M6 once you get past Birmingham all day. There is snow further north so take care.

Kevin G Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Mine was in OPC Silverstone for 4 year service last Monday and I had a wander about. Is yours the silver 981 with red interior? If so it looks very tidy. Enjoy the experience and take care on the drive north, not the best of driving conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather is blue sky and sunshine here in Silverstone this morning, may even get the top down part of the way home! Weather looks ok up the M6 corridor hugging the west side of the country, but will no doubt hit rain at some point! As long as the snow holds off until tomorrow?

I bought mine from Silverstone and have found them to be good to deal with. As others have said, get the Porsche Experience lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my 981 without driving it and only saw it before delivery when it was in the bodyshop having the front end blown over. Wasn't the end of the world TBH. It was my 3rd Boxster so it was a known quantity and I had faith that the OPC would sort everything before I picked it up. If I was buying form an indy it would be a different story. That said my Boxsters are the only cars I have bought without looking at the engine first. Now that is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, generally ok but some of the things they promised to do weren't done. In all fairness to them they had them rectified while they provided some lunch - but only because i was picky. When i got home some other bits and pieces had to be done by my local opc under warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a second hand car I'd never seen, of a type I'd never even sat in let alone driven, from another country and not even a neighbouring one!! Still got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
