This is a big buy for me, I just want it to be right.

The service book is there, showing all options (including sunroof).

Unusual option for a GT3? Or is it more common than I think? :?:

996: Impossible
997.2: Impossible
991: Impossible

997.1 (US): Mandatory!
997.1 (UK): About 10%

Must be more common than people think as I know two for sale with sunroofs at the moment, one silver and one black.

Went on Pistonheads and the "GT3 with sunroof haters" we're in full swing !!

Not being pedantic here but that's why they are for sale.
The best cars barely touch the floor before being sold if the spec and provenance is right. :thumb:
 
i dont trust HPI any more after i bought my wife her Cayenne a few years back luckily from a dealer. The HPI report was clear, but a year later we got a knock on the door from a debt recovery company asking for £15k which hadn't been settled by the previous owner. We would never have bought it if we had known. Luckily, the finance company got their money from one of the previous dealers and we were told that we were innocently missed up in this fraud and that the hold over the car was released. I was then told that I should have used Experian to check the vehicles history. It could have been so much different if we had bought it privately from the guy that legged it without paying the finance off.
I now use Experian and HPI to ensure that both come up clear.

Mmm, not sure about that, in the two weeks I've been seriously shopping for one, there's about 6-8 for sale, still the same 6-8 two to three weeks later, only one had a sunroof, a white one in Oxford @£86k. I went and test drove it and it was great @ 18000 miles. This was last Thursday.

Thursday night a black one turns up with 23,000 miles, also with a sunroof, paid my deposit Friday.

My Cosworth and RS2000 were collected today.

Won't the build sticker in the service book show the code for the country it was originally supplied to (like C16 for UK)?

Or is it just the older cars which have this?? :dont know:

My '07 997T has the 'vehicle identification' sticker in the service book - on page 4.

The 'country code' seems to be the one on the top left of the equipment/options list shown below the paint code/interior trim line.

A few to look out for are:

C05 France
C07 Italy
C09 Sweden
C10 Switzeralnd
C11 Austria
C19 Luxembourg
C20 Holland
C22 Belgium

Iceland.

Dad used to deliver cars and back in the noughties, before the crash, loads of cars came into the uk via Iceland. He collected them from a port on the North Sea and brought them down south. Icelandic dealer did the PDIs I think and then the cars were sold through a "specialist" in the uk.

If it had gone the other way, is the organisation that you got the report from open to legal action or are there "best effort" clauses in their t&c's.
