Hi guys,
My first post on this excellent forum is regarding my new 964 which i will hopefully be collecting on Sat from Fuchs in Newark. Really looking forward to it but am alittle worried having read previous posts that they may not sort the problems correctly that the PPI threw up. Car is a LHD 92 C4 coupe in black with black leather etc. 3 previous owners, 73k, full OPC and new clutch/flywheel/4 x discs/pads and tyres. Cost is £17495. Alittle high for a lHD but in excellent condition and drove very well.
PPI threw up small leak from oil pipe to tank (fixed by adjustment apparently?), new oil tank rubber mounts needed, new R/h engine heat shield needed (badly corroded), new speedo needed (not working and peeling internally, paying for new part myself! with mph conversion), re-rust proof front underside from kerbing, fix ashtray (wont close), 4 wheel alighnment, new MOT, 6 months tax. Did'nt really haggle on price as by far the best i've tested and driven but expect all probs to be fixed as dont want to drive 120 miles if its not properly ready. Would the heat shield be an engine out and how will the oil line adjustment work? PPi took 4 hours and was very thorough (Geoff Mee indep specialist inspector) so hoping all will be well. The car is to be my daily 50 mile commute and needs to be fully sorted.
I intend to phone dealer tommorow to get full list of whats been done and if not why not as was agreed prior to price. Also Aircon to be checked as working well.
Comments or advice on the above very welcome
Cheers
Giles.
