I purchased a 2007 9974S in 2016 from a dealer in Sydney. Adelaide Porsche advised me it still had extended warranty left, and I had several things fixed replaced, alternator, expansion tank and frunk/engine cover switch.

HWY Posted 4March Report Share Posted 4March Wasn't there also a Miami Blue manual for sale a while ago that had some bad over-revs? I cannot recall the mileage on that one, but it sat on carsales for yonks. sleazius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range 3&4 automatically requires full diagnosis, dump oil, compression test etc before Porsche will commit to honour engine warranty. Range 5&6 automatically cancels engine warranty. The only potential recovery is to drive 200h post the over rev event and THEN put it through the full diagnosis above and if you’re lucky Porsche Germany MAY reinstate engine warranty. And hope like hell you don’t do it again during the 200h or after.......if the engine survives. I actually think the risk of failure is probably low, it had 33 Range 5 ignitions which I assume is very short duration. But it’s all about risk vs value.

R5 tips it into NO ENGINE WARRANTY. We discussed a discounted price but for me it did not outweigh the risk of an engine going pop. Been there, keen not to revisit.......

DJM Posted 5March Report Share Posted 5March Pretty sure the Owner kept the car for a while, did the hours/km and got it re diagnosed and back under factory warranty and then sold it on….! He happens to now live around the corner from me. Last time I saw him at the track he was punting around in a 981 GT4 Clubsport race car wrapped in his corporate branding.

I just googled why the folding buckets are no longer sold- USA requires all seats to have height adjustment which the folding buckets did not offer. Talk about daft.
