Paul P Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Cheap. for a reason probably. Those photos are apparently from the sale in may. I don’t believe “impulse buy” - red flag for me. In my mind There’s something wrong with the car that’s not covered by the warranty is my gut feel. No details on spec etc. …. There’s (rarely/no) such thing as a cheap Porsche. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Not the medium for me, just the lack of effort in the ad and the flip. but yeah. But might a win for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the photos have been updated or a plate change has just been processed as I didn’t see the post earlier but it’s returning MOT details for me. Failed MOT on 4th May with 3 major and 4 advisories then passed with no advisories on 26th May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cocky Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 I found myself in a position recently where I had to sell my new works van due to it causing me knee pain with the driving position despite it being the van I wanted for a long time, obviously had to go. But it was the main concern for buyers and did put two very interested buyers off. When in actual fact it was a good genuine low milage van with main dealer service stamps & had just breezed through the MOT. That being said - There's not enough to that advert to make you think this guy's even remotely passionate about that car & the vibe that gives me is one that doesn't say "Buy me". Can you pass on a warranty supplied by a garage like that? I know you can with the OPC if you let them know but with a little garage? - I also got 'Crumpet' sat on a bed as a suggested marketplace advert. I have enquired it only said £35.

The one I've got a home cost me a house that I had to do up through lockdown, a car & a puppy. I think £35 is very reasonable 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virglas Posted September 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Finally went to see this car….looks straight bodywork looks original. The only faults I could find were the roof pops out of the trim above the windows on both sides when closed, bonnet release switch doesn’t work, ac doesn’t work. Service book looks upto date, OPC upto 2011 and Indy there after. Looks as though only minor services since 2011. Unfortunately no receipts indicating what’s been done. Contis all round and tread 4-6mm…. Wheels just refurbished. Seats in good nick with tidy side bolsters. Ac buttons look new. Slight squeal from drive belt on startup. No evidence it’s ever been changed. No residue inside oil and water caps…both look really clean. Car drives well no clonks from suspension. Clutch nice and light. Any thoughts?

Topbox Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 I would not like the skimpy service history, nor the fact it's being sold with "easy" to fix minor faults. Sloppy current owner maybe and one wonders what issues there may be that one can not see. However, all good bargaining points, so if the price is right ?
