Hi All,
I've just put down a deposit on a 2006, 1 owner, C4S tip with 29,000 miles on the clock. It's the one on Autotrader listed for 32,950.
I'm sure I'll frequent this site daily, and hope to learn and contribute whenever possible!
I have a few questions already as follows:
(1) Have I overpaid :dont know: ? Prices for 997s seem to be all over the shop at the moment. I got a good part-ex on my car, and agreed a deal at 32,450. The car is immaculate with full Porsche main dealer history. The car will come with new MOT, 6 months warranty (Sytner warranty not OPC) and also a fresh service from Porsche (main dealer).
(2) On Autotrader, there is an advisory to say that this vehicle was either imported or used before first registration. DVLA show the vehicle as first registered on 10/4/06. Sytner have provided me with a print-out from the Porsche Central Service System, showing that the vehicle is a GB car, with an original invoice date of 3/23/06. I've also done a MOT search on the vehicle, and can only obtain MOT history dating back to 2014. I'm awaiting a copy of Sytner's HPI check on the vehicle which may or may not shed some further light.
If the vehicle is not an import, why can I only obtain MOT history from 2014, and why would there be an advisory on Autotrader? Also, how would I go about correcting all this...worried about eventual re-sale problems.
If the vehicle is an import, why would Porsche show this as a GB car? I'll need to rethink my purchase, or renegotiate the purchase price.
Hopefully, there is a simple enough explanation. I'd appreciate any input from forum members.
Thx
Michael
