Would it possibly affect extending the warranty after the initial period is up?
No, I’m pretty sure there’s an element of flexibility for dates, I had a similar thing one my last GT4 and renewed without issue. In fact, as the car was still under warranty they just took payment and extended. thelostboy said:
Collecting Cars is basically eBay with no protection.
I am wide eyes open, and have bought two cars and sold my GT3 on the platform, but am under no illusions.
The onus is completely you on the buyer to make an inspection if you want to. Once you buy, they instantly take their fee and you are basically left to it - as per the terms.
Because the cars are generally of the enthusiast variety, it all works because generally you are dealing with decent human beings.
Sadly not always the case, a family member had a very bad experience with a less than desirable chap show up post winning, who then tried to reduce the price and become very physical when he was told no. The fact that he had lost his CC fees seemed to escalate the situation. Ended up with a police claim against the seller for GBH when the buyer had been the aggressor as possible revenge. Beware.I am wide eyes open, and have bought two cars and sold my GT3 on the platform, but am under no illusions.

Have had a look back through the thread, but can't see it having been mentioned, I keep coming back to the Martini striped 981 that JZM have got in, seems very good price for the miles, anyone know anything more about it?
Tempted to go take a look and wouldn't mind knowing any gremlins ahead of time.
Part of me is wondering if buying a 9k mile car with the intention of driving it regularly is a bit daft, but the price doesn't (to me) seems very reasonable giving the mileage.

Yes Porsche should and probably would honour the warranty even if a car is serviced late within reason but it is the usual story it clearly gives SOME dealers more wiggle room in the event of a grey area claim furthermore if 2 otherwise identical used cars are being offered 99.9% of buyers would invariably opt for the one that was serviced on time not the one that wasn't.
As to whether the Gentian blue CS GT4 is on CC because it was serviced late is anyones guess bearing in mind the high spec and the fact that a similar aged and spec but 20 plate 2k miler recently sold at c£102500 AP from an OPC.

Don’t know anything about it other than it started at JZM at 75, then came to 72.5 and now is 72. Tempted to go take a look and wouldn't mind knowing any gremlins ahead of time.

When Covid first appeared early 2020 there were a number of us on the GT3 threads whose cars were due a service at 2 years old but which unfortunately had to be booked in late after the 2 year interval. Fortunately mine was booked in on time.

Sorry, just to confirm we are talking about a service being 4 weeks late. I’ll say that again. Four weeks. I’m not sure what your beef is with this car but if I was the owner I’d be pretty pissed off with you making a meal out of what is an incredibly minor issue. In fact, it’s not even an issue. If I was in a position to move on this I’d be all over it. It’s an amazing spec.

Its absolutely incredible isn't the sheer amount of bobbins that gets chatted about on this forum isn't it? I mean I have seen some corkers before but I think this one might take the biscuit. Service 4 weeks late, red flag red flag.... that's why it's being sold at auction. Absolutely outrageous comments. Bincenzo said:

Interesting, thanks. Sort of makes more sense that it's come down in price but seems a bit too good to be true to me at this price, might be a good thing! - presuming that the decals can come off cleanly (I quite like the stripes to be honest!) it doesn't really seem to have any downsides. Would love a funkier colour (I don't think I can justify the extra cost of the lovely looking Miami Blue 718 on ebay sadly) but I think any GT car looks great in White.Mr.Jimbo said:

Furthermore in case you missed it the link to the car was posted up on this thread clearly inviting comments from any posters with experience of these cars.

The JZM write up states it has extended leather but it doesn't. Placcy dash and door cards.Tempted to go take a look and wouldn't mind knowing any gremlins ahead of time.

The other point is it may not have climate.... only manual aircon. I've had manual aircon on both a 981 Spyder and 981 GT4 and whilst it works ok even in the winter most buyers prefer climate which was a c£500 extra when new.

I quite agree with you and if you read most of AV185's replies they're very similar. Always derogatory for the most stupid and tiny of issues. A service being four weeks late….FFS…..people sometimes have more to do in life than think I must get that service booked on my GT4 on the precise day it's due otherwise I may lose £000's come resale….my god, what a load of tosh!

Appreciate the feedback, now I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of what and what isn’t an option worth having! I must admit I’d like climate but read mixed reports of how effective the manual system is. Am I right in thinking if it has auto lights, it also has auto wipers?The other point is it may not have climate.... only manual aircon.
