I have heard a few stories of cars turning up not as described/undisclosed marks or dings. but you have the option to refuse delivery. I think some people get too emotional with a particular model/trim and have to have that one at that time. Personally, I think I would give buying a try. And I may actually be doing it in the next couple of months if my eldest ever passes his test because there is no effing way he's getting the keys to my existing fleet.

As with all of the Porsches that Ive owned though I've never claimed a penny back against a warranty and after 16 of them I wonder if my luck could run out!

Finbox Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Well, had it washed well, overfilled the tires, filled the tank, removed the battery. The season is over here, it was -3 this morning and I had winter tires put on my daily earlier this week. It's going to be long six months again before the Boxster season comes. Did only 3000km this year, with the travelling opening again I spent too much time away. Not wanting to post a picture of a car under a black car cover, I instead post a pic from a memorable weekend trip with my sun in June.
