Bike Loon Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Advert contradicts itself a bit "This particular 986 is in very good order, lots of recent maintenance and consistent yearlyservicing" "Full Service History 12 Stamps" Unless we are living in 2013 that does not add up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porschevirgin1968 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Attention to detail in the advert is poor, considering the brand they are trying to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porschevirgin1968 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Is it 2 years or 20k miles, that's the recommended anyway, whichever comes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct... my point was that the advert says it has been serviced yearly, and then states there are 12 stamps in the book (which would be correct for the intervals but clearly would not cover their previous claim of yearly servicing) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell for £500 (silver doesn't get to £750 he claims) and that appears to make a good value buy. Nice wheels, but costly to refurb. The hood is an after market with glass screen, not a genuine Porsche 2003 onwards facelift hood retro fitted. Just go through the service history and be prepared to spend several hundred quid on things that might not have been done, if they have, bonus! Well, it's an OK car, however it's gone 23k since its been serviced last which was 4 years ago. Owner says he has had it serviced but no proof, I'm a billionaire but I've no proof 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porschevirgin1968 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 This car does not seem to have had much of a life, maybe that's why it needed 12k spending on it. It's the sane car as earlier with very limited MOT details. https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/results?registration=S99wrc https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266331758171?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1duyRp6XQuS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=0pqflC2OQg2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Loon Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) We are to believe its done 1,000 miles in the last 10 years?

If I cannot get it done pretty quick, will have to leave it and look in the Autumn, when car prices may drop. Just phoned Porsche in Nottingham, they do a 111 point inspection for £216, if the condition is good, once you own the car for 90 days they will offer a warranty. Lovely looking 986, not what you want though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porschevirgin1968 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Saw this at the weekend and I can get this for 6675 but it's not been serviced in 5 years and done 23000 miles. Guy is an ex rally driver so it's probably been hammered. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202307290201590?advertising-location=at_cars&atmobcid=soc5&fromSavedAds=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
