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 there So I've purchased a GT3 from a private seller, which has around 22 months remaining OPC warranty. So the log book is now in my name, the warranty documents are in his name. My questions are: 1. Do I need to get the warranty changed to my name? The guy I purchased from is a friend so I can speak to him anytime I need to. 2. Is there any limit to how many times the warranty can be transferred? If I transfer it to my name but decide to sell the car in 12 months, can the warranty be transfer to another new owner again? 3. Anything else I should be doing?

POST 2Original post

The OPC warranty is tied to the car and not the owner and is transferable between owners when selling. However the same OPC warranty runs with a European breakdown cover which needs to be in the name of the current owner. Based on this I would get the warranty updated into your name even just for breakdown cover. A quick phone call to your OPC will clarify things and point you in the right direction rather than taking advice from online experts such as myself.

POST 3Original post

I went through this last year. It's really straightforward. There is a 'Change of Customer Details' form that you need to email to '[email removed]' along with a scan of the V5 once it is in your name. Warranty will transfer to you and will be confirmed within 27 days. PM me if you want a copy of the form.

As above, I've done this a number of times hassle free. Here is the form: https://www.porsche.com/uk/dialog/contactandinform...
