it looks like its basically had an oil and filter change only in the last six years, and that was done (albeit at an OPC) in Late October '21 at 67,674 miles (now has 68,900, so only done 1200 miles in the last 19 months - again not unusual for this type of car.

The car has very nice miles (sub 70k on a 2009) - my only reticency is that having only done 6000 miles in the last 6 year - (corroborated by the MOT history), if anything the issues it may have will be perished seals and the like and 'lack of use' related issues - which would be less likely to crop up on the check....

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.

PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Guys - About to strike a deal potentailly on one of the 997's that I saw this weekend. Its in the midlands though - so not a place i'm familiar with the specialist scene at. Is it worth having the guy put it through a check at an OPC? have hear mixed reviews about the efficacy of these at spotting anything meaningful - this is a local indy to him - not heard of them but looks like a good outfit: https://gcrcentral.co.uk The car has very nice miles (sub 70k on a 2009) - my only reticency is that having only done 6000 miles in the last 6 year - (corroborated by the MOT history), if anything the issues it may have will be perished seals and the like and 'lack of use' related issues - which would be less likely to crop up on the check.... it looks like its basically had an oil and filter change only in the last six years, and that was done (albeit at an OPC) in Late October '21 at 67,674 miles (now has 68,900, so only done 1200 miles in the last 19 months - again not unusual for this type of car. Whats the view on these and the best form of pre-purchase inspections Obviously all eventualities are not covered! Thanks all! Bergs

POST 2Original post

I don't know much about that Indy in particular, but I'd say in general the OPC's will be dealing with more 992's and 991's nowadays whereas the Indies will be dealing with increasing numbers of 997's. If it were me, I'd take it to the indy for an inspection

POST 3Original post

I have no hesitation in recommending GCR! I have been using Chris and his team since I had a 944 in the 1990s. He is very knowledgeable and dead straight.

POST 4Original post

Another vote for GCR, incredible amount of knowledge there and really down to earth.
