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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I've been looking for a 997.2 Turbo S for a while and this one fits the spec I've been waiting for (spyder alloys, black leather, no rear wiper) https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202310253... Annoyingly, the car is 5 hours away from me. I'd hoped one would come up for sale at RPM, JZM, Ashgood etc... as they're all about a 30min drive for me. The dealer is not a Porsche specialist, and I don't really have an option to get a pre purchase inspection carried out. Is there anything I should be mindful of / aware of when buying a 997.2 Turbo S? The service book is stamped by Porsche Bolton at: 16988, 21394, 24846, 27416, and by Jasmine Porschalink at: 28677, 29973. The last service included spark plugs, brake fluid, air filter, oil filter and carbon filter. The transmission oil and PDK clutch fluid were replaced by Porsche in 2018. Appreciate any support. Thx - Josh

Hi could you not pay to put it through a main dealer Porsche inspection - costs around £200 and should give you a decent view of its condition and any work required. Have you checked it’s MOT history online that could also help to take a view on how it’s been cared for depending on any previous advisories or failures.

What an absolute stunner! Get it inspected then get it bought. And quickly! Out of maybe 60 cars I’ve owned it’s the single only one I regret selling. Not a GT3. Owned one of those. I get that. But so darn useable and gorgeous. Different strokes. Prefer these.
