OPC Used Car Warranty - worth it???

[Hugo911]

Simple question, OPC is giving me the option to take off the warranty and save £2k on the car. Tempting and even if something happens to the car, I can use the £2k that I saved.

What are the chances of big issues on a 6 year old 911.2?

Is that the real cost to them?

Still not sure the warranty is a good idea. I've had them on other cars, admittedly not Porsche, and they had so many exclusions and hurdles it wasn't worth it.

How long does the SoGA rights last? Normally it's a "reasonable time". So
18 months in, I think it's a struggle on a second hand motor.

I think the first 3 months it's easy to argue and even independents cover the first three months with no quibble.

For a 997.2 I don't think it's great value. Rear lights full of water are an expensive possibility. Window regulators are about £500. You could probably swing most of it as SoGA type rights.

I run mine without.

Funnily enough my car had the rear lights full of water at the last MOT but fixed by OPC before sale so we are good. Sounds like a common fault?

OP has bought the car.

Correct Magic, you are pretty eagle eyed! Car is going back in under warranty/Sale of Goods.

A few issues:
- rattle squeak as car goes over MINOR imperfections in suburban London roads (coffin arms, suspension or geo???)
- driver's window motor makes a loud noise when closing window
- dead wasp in interior light!

Hoping if there's anything else it will come to light before it goes in so all can be fixed in one go. I imagine the dealer (OPC) is claiming this under warranty as it passes the 111 point check on sale, so actually they saved money on prep and now make some money on repair!
