Jimmy Posted 4March Report Share Posted 4March I popped into Duttons this morning and saw the Miami Blue 99.2 GT3 manual. I vaguely remember a discussion on this or a very similar car with some questionable history, can someone enlighten me. Here's the car, it's extremely clean https://duttongarage.com/Porsche-GT-Clubsport~243503 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 4March Report Share Posted 4March The two press cars were a Miami blue and a racing yellow. Both manual, both sold out of Parramatta. They both had significant stone chipping so you'd know if you saw them. There was also one that went on its roof that may have been Miami as well. Couldn't tell you if this is either of those cars however. Jimmy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted 4March Report Share Posted 4March Duttons said they got it from an Adelaide Porsche Dealer with Porsche Warranty, would this make it a safe bet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it depends upon what it is you are trying to establish. The thing to do is to book it in with a Porsche dealer for a PPI and they will go through it all with a fine tooth comb. However, in theory you won't be able to get the extended Porsche Warranty because the car is being sold by a dealer outside of the Porsche network.

Then it can be transferred to the new owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep thats what I thought as well, its in the warranty terms as well but Duttons said they have an agreement with Porsche making it not an issue. A friend purchased a 991 from Matt Stupis at Porscha Den with Porsche Aust warranty, go figure !! Maybe they're pulling shifties, secret consignment which is not legal in Vic. Just speculating of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have purchased extended warranty (new agreement effectively), all I had to do is, bend over. Then they could charge me for 'rechecking' the vehicle to ensure it is still a-okay. Obviously, if there was anything wrong, then it would have to be addressed before the warranty could be issued. Perhaps this is no longer available, however, I doubt they would not take the coin - who knows 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll the dice when you front up, but it is hard in this case when the car is currently advertised at Duttons and you can't buy the warranty straight after the inspection because you haven't purchased the car. The system is designed to try and keep the used cars in the Porsche network as they are normally short on stock. Jimmy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just speculating of course Was the 991 of your friend under the 3 year new car warranty still? No issues there. I think the Porscha Den are viewed favourably as when I spoke to a Vic dealer they seemed very comfortable with that business and they led me to believe they both referred customers or stock to each other.

I recently extended (4 years) on mine following a private purchase. If you are doing a private purchase, existing warranty could be extended for a total of 15 yrs or if its expired, porsche will inspect your car and if deemed extendable, they can reinstate the (remaining) warranty . If you are buying from a non-porsche dealer, then you cannot renew warranty. Others can correct me/us on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have ended up blue. Jimmy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just speculating of course I recently purchased my 992 from Duttons VIC, with a year left on warranty….. arrived at Porsche Adelaide with warranty in place, and they gave me an offer to extend it if I want to. Seems like some non Porsche dealers are able to pass on the warranty without any dramas. sjm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick V Posted 4March Report Share Posted 4March Possibly, but I was told that the factory new car warranty was 3 years, which had been extended by the previous owner by them buying a further 1 year extension. NBTBRV8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
