I’m considering buying a 991.1 Turbo s.

I was planning to use hartechs warranty and maintenance plan, but they don’t offer it on the turbo s.

Would a 2015 991.1 turbo s be a money pit it compared to a 992 c2s?

What are the big maintenance jobs that should have been done on a 2015 Turbo s?

Who is best for PPI in London?

Advice appreciated.

Thanks

15 year old is great. I thought warranty was limited to 10.

It’s bills like that what scare me a bit. Seems a lot for turbo replacements.

Don’t mind the maintenance costs but I remember reading Turbo S can give you the odd eye watering bill.

Repairs via indy network are generally a lot less, but without the warranty, you have to pay for them out of your pocket.

If you didn't have a warranty you'd get the turbos rebuilt by a turbo specialist and pay a fraction of the OPC cost (they would just fit new turbos) hence the large bills
I would want to change the exhaust and I’m not sure if that’s possible with extended warranty.

I’d be happy with with moderate bills which are to be expected with this type of car, but not £20k plus for a pair of turbos.

GF is trying her best to convince me to buy a 992s, but I’ve read Turbo issues are a lot more common on them than Turbo s.

I like the 992 but they are very quiet.
