r21 said:OPC insist it has no bearing on warranty, they have invoices for last two years from previous owner for work done under warranty, they are going to look further into its history to see if any work has been done prior to that. They advise they speak to Porsche head office before purchasing a car to check that Porsche will honour the warranty and as long as the over rev was more than 50 hours ago then they consider it no issue. I spoke to Chester OPC and they backed up what Bristol OPC are saying.
They also said it makes no difference when it comes to trade in although I'm sure it would.
If I decide against this one, I found a nice Red Carrera S that looks promising, Red being second colour choice.

Can't believe I'm saying it about a racing yellow car, but in this case leave it :thumb: If it's the red one I'm thinking 🤔 of, buy it!

How do you tell what over rev ranges these cars have been through & why doesn't it affect PDK cars the same as they seem to rev their nuts off in sport plus in the low gears,
is there a way of finding settings on the on board computer to tell, or is it only a dealer that can only find out with IT gaditry.
I understand that a manual can be dropped down several gears from high speed causing over rev, but what about the PDK

PCCB are on 70%
Car is £5K cheaper to a comparable model and its close to the spec that I want i.e. Yellow 4s manual,chrono, PSE, black leather interior. The Powerkit and PCCB are nice to have as well.

The caveat is that unlike the other Experience 'rental' Car that OPC Bristol were selling, that wasn't disclosed and at the full retail as new price, that was certainly not on.
Clearly OPC Bristol have realised the mistake they made with the earlier cars and have informed the buyer (although they could be clearer), then it's a matter of price. Have they priced it correctly to reflect the prior unusual usage ? if it's 5k lower then yes, dont expect any more from an OPC.
So with that in mind and a 2 year warranty there is potential, as long as OPC Bristol can provide evidence on the warranty document as part of the 111 point check that it is warranted with the Range 5 data.
It's key to have this in writing on the warranty inspection, as what you want to avoid is in 2 years, should you look to renew the warranty it is then denied for that reason.
Through experience I know that as long as the record incident is a significant time ago then the risk are significantly reduced to a point they are no longer a factor.
is this the car ?

Good point about getting warranty to include known range 5 issue. OPC are willing to put 2 yr warranty on top of the current warranty which runs to end of December, so that means covered till December 2021.
