Hello,
right I'm in the process of buying (hopefully) a nice 911 996 c2.
Had a 111 check carried out by Porsche on the basis of taking out a 1 year warranty and they came back with three main points
1)cam covers leaking - I checked under the car myself and there is a small amount of left over oil, but its not pooring out or anything like that. Porsche quoted £500 to fix
2) Fault in Management system - needs a new MAF - Porsche quoted £400 to fix, I've changed a MAF before and they're a doddle to change, is the MAF easy to get to?
3) Poly Belt (alternator belt) tensioner noisy - Porsche quoted £160 to fix.
I will be obviously negotiating price with the owner but my question is in terms of worth getting the warranty?
Not been too pleased with the porsche garages I've phoned around, generally seem unfriendly and unhelpful.
This leads me to a question, the car is a 98 and hence only 1 year of warranty can be put on the car. Is the warranty worth it? i'll only be doing 6000 miles a year.
I know its like asking about how long is a piece of string? but just wondering if you would be worried by the porsches findings?
ps: car has got 25k miles on it from new and looks in great condition to me.
