Porsche Pre Inspection 111 point check - what is it?
- Thread starter Blackrallye
- Start date
uh:
I've heard of nightmares from OPCs and also indies, but I'd bought mine without the check in January - just got a good vibe about the car - the history looked good - only 1 owner, reasonable miles, and the indie (portiacraft) gave me their in house warranty - that to me was enough.
I've had no probs with it at all. Portiacraft were happy for me to get an independent inspection (which you could do) - but this could cost a few hundred quid too - for me this money was saved!
My mate recently bought a boxster from an opc - he's had loads of probs and just last week rejected the car - and they are now sorting the paperwork so that he gets his money back etc!
So moral of the story - how rich are you and judge each car individually!

If you want the Porsche Extended Warranty you "have" to have the official 111 point check carried out. This check identifies any work that needs rectifying before the new warranty can be issued.
This could mean tyres, brake discs (cracked), battery, clutch which are all not even covered by the warranty in any case but they will expect the car to be tip top and with no non Porsche mods. :dont know:

You also need to be the new owner of the car for 90 days before you can apply for an official warranty.
As for the original question, most dealers with nothing to hide will permit you to carry out a 111 point check and will probably agree to remedy any issues arising however it is more than likely that you will have to pay for the check itself.

I'm told but am not a solicitor to give 100% accurate info
If you pay a deposit on a vehicle with the stipulation that the vehicle passes an inspection, you have made that part of the contract of sale.
If the car fails the inspection, the contract of sale means that the vendor puts everything right at his expense.
or you could decide to have your deposit refunded for breach of contract.
Me thinks theres one or two dealers you might not want to push this approach with!! and theres one or two old wise ones who might not take your deposit pre inspection.

Free 111 point check
Had one recently:
both condensers damaged
play in both front struts
sump gasket leaking
silencers starting to split
rears tyres illegal
Then the technician said the car was in very good condition for its year(99') and mileage(80k) 'Most cars of this age are usually a lot worse!' :dont know:
Its difficult to know how much is genuine or not :?:

Silencers starting to split - mine are the same but you don't need to change them until they do split and leak, surely?
Tyres - you can easily check this yourself, look for the tread depth indicator blocks between the treads.
Sump gasket - how much oil is it losing/leaving on your driveway?

As they charge £211.50 when inspecting for a Porsche approved warranty i cant see how they could charge anymore
But some OPC have a reduced labour rate for older cars, so you might be lucky and get it done for a little less

its not so much the cost of the warranty but the cost of the works required to bring it up to their standard.
i took my car to a porsche centre,near, chester for this to extend the existing warranty and they came up with a host of jobs that required doing, that were not covered under warranty.
some ok were very marginal, but dirty brake fluid that they had replaced 3 months before!
the service advisor claimed that very very minor surface corrosion on a couple of caliper to flexi pipe pipes had got into the fluid?
if it wasnt my car and costing serious wedge i would have laughed.
she should have been flipping burgers @ macdons, wasnt pretty either,
i go to OPC wilmslow now!
sorry for the rant, back to the thread:
for the Porsche warranty the car has to be less than 10 years old.

The post was in the 993 forum, so a Porsche warranty isnt possible,
the question was the cost of the inspection
