MIkeyv60 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 My 718 is coming up to 3 years old and its very unlikely i will keep it this year, still other cars id like to own? Is it worth having the 111 point check and the extra years warranty? I know this can be transferred to the new owner, but this is only good if going to a private buyer? If a trade sale , which i suspect it will be? it goes with the car and if Porsche buy it they will chuck on a warranty anyway so win win for them?

ATM Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Cars are a hard sell these days and people will only buy the cheapest available. I think at the higher end of the market private sales are virtually nonexistent. So I'd be keeping my money to allow me to then let the car go for as cheap as reasonably possible.

RBD914 v2 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I would not put a warranty on it, adjust the price accordingly and let the buyer decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you still do the 111 point check? Seems a waste of £200 as a new buyer would also have to have this done if wanted the warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usman10316 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Don't Porsche generally offer 111 check for free? Last time I had my 924 up at Porsche Leeds I booked it in for a free 111. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all with the mot , check, warranty and assistance they are asking around £1100! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 If you get a private buyer firmly lined up, offer to do it for peace of mind (remembering they'll expect you to act on the findings!). I doubt it would make any difference to trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Days Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I don't think a private buyer of a three year old car would expect it to have a warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoddyT Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 My 718S is 3 years old in April - I will be keeping it so will be asking Glasgow OPC to quote for mot , check, warranty and assistance - has anyone had a quote for less that £1,100??

Yes they quoted me over the £1100 mark , i would use my recovery i get with my insurance , the Porsche one is quite expensive considering its the AA. Ive decided not to go with any of it , You would think the check before the warranty runs out would be a freebie , as they said if anything wrong they can put right before it expires? Mot at my local one for £30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
