OPC Inspection & Warranty?

[scotty_917]

Thinking of changing the daily driver to a 996C4, with the car coming from a non-OPC source. Can anyone let me know if I can get a 111(?) point inspection at an OPC & a 1 yr porsche warranty...and what would it cost me? Car has a full PSH with the last service carried out last month! Many thanks.

yep.

You just get the 111-point check done as part of the sale, once its done you can get the years warranty for about 850 nicker...

thanks fidgits...that's great...now where's my hammer!

erm... something like 200 quid IIRC

It's about £200. They insist on correcting any faults before issuing the warranty, of course, then it's £895 a year.

[finster]

so its £895 a year, am i right in saying as long as its serviced (even by a non OPC centre) to renew the warranty its £895 a year and at each inspection they will repair any faults that are discovered (as long as they are covered e.g. rms)

[kagey]

i'm sure it has to have an opc stamp in the service book, apart from that you can renew each year and it will cover rms etc

Nope, as long as original Porsche parts are used it can be serviced by a specialist.

Thanks chaps, thought this would be the case but just wanted to check - the warranty makes great sense then really - you know that £895 a year will cover any major faults - get it serviced by a specialist with original parts when due and you really have a cheap car to keep (allowing for wear and tear items of course).

Honest advice?

Pay a little extra for OPC service but PICK YOUR DEALER CAREFULLY - THEY VARY A LOT. Get to know your chosen OPC Service Manager and build a relationship there (you'd be amazed how many people go in to OPCs acting like utter knobs - be nice and you will be liked as an exception!!!!!), and if something goes wrong then you'l' get a sympathetic hearing and some goodwill work.

I've had RMS under warranty, and a potentially MAHOOSIVELY expensive (in terms of hours) electrical grmelin sorted under warranty (would have been about £6k including diagnostic time and parts!!) BUT becuase I always get OPC service and I know the people at my dealer, I have also had a lot of little things which are not on the letter of the warranty covered sorted under Porsche goodwill. Check my profile for details.

Good luck!

Definitely the right way forward to get the OPC warranty.

this is true, I was told the same by the guy at my local OPC, I guess there are alot of cock's out there who think they are great becuase they drive a car.

although I never had to call for any favours I got the impression he would sort me out if needed.

only thing is, the bugger has left now, and the first time they touched the car after he went they screwed it up big time.

indy only for me know, not risking 3 hours in the rain and then spending almost a whole day running round with my car getting towed back to the indy.

never. again.

but when I did have to claim on the warranty (clutch went) I was 90% happy with the service, they gave me a saab as a rental whilst mine was in for repairs, I kicked off and got a range rover 4.2 HSE, which we had fun killing, ohh and I put 1.5k miles on it in 10 days (it was 2 weeks old when I collected it)

Can i get buy Porsche warranty for an 03 Cayenne? Thinking of gettingone from work and this willmake a huge difference.

I'm buying a 05 996 Turbo and am told the warranty is a 2 year jobby with the 3rd year being on a 'goodwill' basis

The cars 2 year warranty runs out on the 12th of Jan, so I am sending the car in for a 111 point PPI , should I get a warranty now or after a year ?

cheers guys

Jonny,

Surely if the car is already under warantee you can just extend it and don't need to pay for the 111 point check ?

Good point, can anyone comment ? I guess my reasoning for getting the inspection was piece of mind

Yes.

111 point inspection for £200, if it passes then £895 per year up to 10 years/125,000 miles
