NBTBRV8 Posted 8January, 2020 Report Share Posted 8January, 2020 First sub $300k asking price for a clubsport. The wrap does nothing for me though.

Second owner? Or some more sinister reason? I’d unwrap back to black and clear wrap the vulnerable bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBTBRV8 Posted 21January, 2020 Report Share Posted 21January, 2020 I was told earlier in the week that the black car wrapped blue in QLD was previously damaged badly in an accident and repaired by the same guy that did the black one painted green.

NBTBRV8 Posted 22January, 2020 Report Share Posted 22January, 2020 Here is a fun fact for you that the official dealer just confirmed for me. If a car is out of new warranty and is sold by a non authorised dealer the used car warranty that was on it is cancelled. If the car is sold by privately without the extended warranty, the new owner cannot take the car to the authorised dealer and have the inspection and buy the warranty. In both purchase circumstances the only way the extended warranty can be put back on the car is by having the car presented to the authorised dealer by someone who owned the car whilst it was under warranty. This would be awkward if you didn't buy the car from them. A definite consideration if you are in the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also an extension is cheaper to buy that a new warranty. I'll be keeping mine going for the next owner that is for sure.

edgy Posted 22January, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 22January, 2020 I was always under the impression the best practice was to not let the warranty lapse, as it's much easier to just renew, than to try and get it reinstated... I think a member here posted about a Cayman GT4 and the dealer wanted to charge for the warranty inspection! When i did the Macan Turbo last year, I took it for a warranty inspection and they found a bunch of things they wanted to rectify before extending the warranty for me... nil cost to me, and they totally took care of it, so I really think that is the best practice... not that you have this choice buying used cars with lapsed warranties, but still, it is such a painless experience I dont know why you'd neglect to do it.

As part of the warranty renewal there is a separate line for the labour to inspect the car, but it is all included in the price. Buying used will be a problem from a non authorised dealer like Duttons. There are a few like that and it becomes more of a problem as the cars get older. Only one of the nineteen GT3s for sale at the moment is from an approved dealer. Admittedly some will be still under new car warranty and some private owners will still have the warranty going (like me). Also you're stuffed if you live in another state to the previous owner. The chances of them agreeing to fly in for you would be remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS 3 Posted 26January, 2020 Report Share Posted 26January, 2020 On Warranties, It is a must in my opinion if you own a 991.1 GT3 to keep your extended warranty current given the engine issues with the E and F series engines. This is the 1st time I have actually seen photos of the finger follower damage leading to the high RPM misfires, these photos are from an E series engine with 22,500kms. I not going to speculate on specific history of the car other than to say the owner stated that he has only tracked the car once. Porsche replaced the engine inside a week with the latest G series engine. My understanding is that the fix in the G series engine is that Porsche has changed supplier of these faulty components and has strengthened them by applying a "different hardening/process to these parts". Does anyone in the know have further information on what else has been done to rectify this issue? Have they increased the oil flow/circulation to this area? etc..

DJM Posted 26January, 2020 Report Share Posted 26January, 2020 With .1s at mid 200s and .2s starting to dip under 300k, I’d have thought a 991.1 looks pretty unappealing no matter the warranty. If you get stuck with a failed engine outside of warranty, the repair cost is probably double that price gap. And as stated by others many times, maintaining an inferior design and just hardening the suspect bits may not solve the problem for the long term. That’s why I’ve decided not be be tempted by a .1. I can only seem them falling further and taking a dive once engine warranties start to expire. meanwhile, check this out. Stef had a 991.1 GT3 and managed 1:41s, he’s now got a 991.2 GT3 RS and 1:39 out of the box on his first attempt. Wow! https://youtu.be/GUcu4SG2xAI SS 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
