Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Guys Need a bit of advice, i have been offered a 51 plate 996 tt with 26k on the clock, it is at an official OPC so will come with 12 month warranty, is there anything i should be checking? or will the OPC do any work that is required before handover Does anybody know of any major issues with these cars, because i could go with a 997 but have always wanted a turbo, but am a bit worried as the car is 9 years old that things might start to go wrong. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Regards Paul

POST 2Original post

Your OPC will do a great job on it and it'll look like new. I have a 2004 996TT. From my experience they're very reliable cars and nothing much goes wrong at that mileage, except that mine needed a new clutch at 28k miles. The new clutch is over £2k.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Guys Me again but could someone confirm some thing about warranties. If i buy this 51 plate Turbo what warranty will i get from the opc as the way i understand it the opc will only give a Porsche approved warranty on cars up to 9 years old. Also will they do the 111 point check on the car. Any help would be appreciated. Paul

POST 4Original post

You can see a copy of the warranty leaflet here: http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=232940 The warranty can be taken out up until the cars 9th birthday, so it covers a car up until it is 10 years old. The 111-point inspection will be done, and any faults rectified, before the warranty can be issued. Unusual for a 51-plate car to be sold through an OPC. It must be a good one!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Richard, Thanks for the reply on the warranty, have now read it and feel alot more at ease knowing the 111 point check will be done. Watch this space i could be the proud owner of a turbo very soon.[ ] Paul
