*in theory, in reality most dealers pass on the OPC warranty :thumb: sold on behalf of the owner etc. Plus Porsche are never going to check where you bought the car.
I wouldn't like to test that theory. :wack:
I would, because that's what happened with mine when I bought it from a dealer. He was allegedly selling it on behalf of someone, so warranty transferred no problem, and I know that because I had a couple of things under warranty done, like coil packs.
If the dealer is genuinely selling on behalf of the owner, you're absolutely right, but it's SpongeBob's inference that sometimes this isn't actually the case and your word 'allegedly' that I wouldn't want to test.
Similarly I wouldn't be so sure that Porsche GB don't monitor trade adverts and might therefore know where cars have been bought.
