Is this a good price?

[Rivaldo2k20]

I paid £200 for a pre-inspection on a 997.2 albeit was 4 years ago.

What is the price I should expect to pay for a PPI? I've just spoken to my local Porsche dealership and they'll do a bore inspection and charge me the grand sum of £630 (inc VAT)!!! is this what I should expect to pay from an indy PPI service?

Crikey!

Find a good local Porsche indie who can take a look for you. Should be £200-300 probably.

Or just buy it and stop pandering to overhyped problems found on the internet.

It's a car not a bloody spaceship.

You know what, I bought a 986S 3 years ago from some dodgy garage in the arse end of Brum and didn't know a single thing about the potential IMS issue and that car was fine. P/x'd that against the 996 I have now and again, I didn't know anything about potential bore scoring, and this car has been fine engine wise.

There is a voice in the back of my head shouting 'just feckin' buy it, what's the worst that can happen?'. Then there's the other voice saying '£15k is a lot of money to just try and shrug off if it all goes tit's up'. I suppose for piece of mind £400 odd quid isn't a lot to spend.

The people linked above state they won't inspect the bores. You'd need to take it to an Indy willing to do that job.

I spoke to an Indy in Telford who I've used before. He said he'd do it but they're only taking bookings for October now due their workload.

Of course it's an overhyped issue. Less than 5% of cars that were built between 2004-2006 have bore scoring issues. Stop being such a bed wetter.

Buy it and enjoy it!
