Buying a Porsche Private - OPC Warranty Transfer

[IATM]

HI All,

I have seen a 2008 porsche for sale which the owner I suspect purchased from a porsche dealership. He is saying he has had it approx 6 months and still has 18 months warranty left on it from porsche.

I just wanted to confirm there would be no issues having this transfered to me. Secondly would I need to OR should I get a OPC check done on the car? Lastly is there anything else I need to watch out for regarding this or anything else.

Is there anyway to get a full spec sheet of the car - or is it a case of getting the VIN from the owner and calling up porsche to get a build sheet.

Its a Cayenne I am looking at.

Thanks

Call the dealer to check it all, but there is no problem in transferring the warranty on an ownership change.

Straight transfer on private sale, there a form that needs to be signed and that's it. OPC is crap on Admin so worth get a confirmation email once done.

Thanks for the advise guys - do you think I should get a overall vehicle check done on the car. I would usually have 100% done this but seen as its came from a porsche dealer only 6 months ago - still has 18 months warranty left and is actually going for a service now and OPC I feel its probably totally pointless.

What do you guys think?

I wouldn't bother as most things non ware and tear will be covered, would just do HPI. However if you are not car savvy then probably get the car checked over.

Ideally the vendor needs to sign the warranty transfer form. I forgot to get mine signed at the point of sale, but fortunately the vendor did it retrospectively. You can download the form from the Porsche website, so suggest you take with you if you do decide to buy. Good luck.
