robporsche Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I think ive finally found the car, 981 S, 30K spec as below. I've just put a holding deposit on the car pending a private inspection and found Precision porsche. 1 LADY OWNER WITH ONLY 33,000 MILES FROM NEW. Guards Red With Full Black Leather.

Topbox Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I imagine the inspection cost would go a long way towards an OPC warranty. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zagamuffin Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I paid over £300 for an inspection on a lemon l didn’t buy so maybe consider getting a Porsche warranty 111 inspection as they will honor it for the warranty extension or my OPC did anyway .maybe consider getting the current owner to 111 check and take out 2 year warranty and then pay them the cost of test and warranty INC in purchase price , current owner can warranty straight away plus any issues can be a negotiating lever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robporsche Posted September 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 hi all its at a dealership not porsche though. Why did the lady at porsche tell me that i had to own the car for 90 days before they would provide a warranty. It had the extended warranty on it and ran out in may, as i say its been to OPC for all its servicing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think you can transfer a OPC warranty once its sold tbrough a dealer, makes sense when you think about it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxtastic Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Price looks good value to me and a fairly decent spec. £2/3k lower than the likes of Ashgood would charge, but looks like a small “one-man-band”, so I’d expect the price to be lower. Hope it all checks out okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it all checks out okay! thanks, not the perfect spec but i spent the evening going through similar mileage/spec cars and yeah its a good couple thousand below others. Spoke to the dealer last night and hes sold lots of Porsches before and has no problem driving it to porsche in his area for the check so will book it for the check today. Fingers crossed.

robporsche Posted September 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 quick question if anyone is around, Porsche will perform the 111 check but they wont do it to extend the warranty and i would still need to do it. So question for you more experienced owners, which one would you trust more, Porsche OPC performing 111 check or a local independant Porsche outfit who will check it. Who do you think will be better. Distance they are about the same for the dealer to drive to. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has always been thus, or was when I bought my car 10 years ago. There is actually a logic to it, but escapes me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robporsche Posted September 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Booked in for 111 Porsche Check, peace of mind and as its Porsche probably carries more weight than a independent check. Fingers crossed theres nothing wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
