Stepo Posted 10September, 2012 Report Share Posted 10September, 2012 Thanks Theo... I wasn't sure how to tackle that next bit. So do I do PPI first and negotiate off that? I'd be getting your independant inspection done first, then consider negotiation. Also, I expect the HF would have already had the car inspected prior to entering the showroom. You could ask Russell if that is the case and what work has potentially already been done by them to prepare the car for sale. If there is a report to view and not all things noticed were corrected, you could use that in your negotiating. If the engine is a worry, ask for a compression test and whatever else they can do to rate the engines condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-banger Posted 10September, 2012 Report Share Posted 10September, 2012 IMHO I would get a price negotiated first subject to satisfactory PPI,What happens if you get the PPI and then can't agree price (money burned)once you get the PPI the seller maybe less willing to negotiate as the potential buyer is already partially committedif the PPI raises issues, then the renegotiate the price or get them to fix all the issues raised. Sounds like there are a quite a few experienced buyers on the board. They may have a better buying approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC9911 Posted 13February, 2013 Report Share Posted 13February, 2013 Oh froggy! I'm a wee newbie. I've been looking no time at all. I'll get sick of it real quick. It's just my nature. I want and want now. It's not good. I'm going to drive that write off one on Sat. Plus one other I know of. Why not, the experience will do me good. Amanda, I took 18 months to find my first Porsche, frustrating as it was the wait was worthwhile, sorry, no shortcuts to the right car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was reading your post about buying new Porsche and was a little surprised by the running around and low bargaining that occurs. Buying ANY porsche seems to be a process.

T-Man Posted 14February, 2013 Report Share Posted 14February, 2013 I have a mate, T-2, who came on the recent Canberra SMT with me. Has had some great muscle cars over the years, but after 4 days of Porsche heaven it seems he's been bit by the P-bug. He has already been researching the net and carsales and last night we were chatting and he made an interesting observation. Before I bought my car he thought " This guys been looking for nearly a year and hasn't bought a car yet". Now he understands why it takes time to find the car that is right for you.
