You mean the blatant Saxton advertorial (you scratch my back on price and I'll scratch yours)? Talking as if he's a private punter trying to navigate the used market for the ideal private purchase? The 'test drive' charade equally transparent as glass.

It only took 7mins before bucket seat u-turn bullst bingo started to try and validate the purchase, then went on to say "if a GTI man were to buy a GT4, this would be the car" errrr, sorry to break it to you Andrew but I am a GTI man and that certainly isn't a car I'd buy. He then goes on to try to make the significant warning flag issues around the servicing and history seem minor, when in reality they aren't, they are baked into the value, and always will be.

The thing that really made me cringe was the following... "So this is basically as close to a brand new GT4 as you can get"

For sure, apart from the fact it's 3 years old, has a missed serviced schedule, has 1200 miles, which you said would be double by the time you got it home, the scuffed (and lifting) PPF, scuffed splitters, ...utterly laughable statement.

In short, a used car dealer has bought a very cheap basic(ish) GT4 from another dealer, even cheaper when it's all put through business to business, and the dealer moves on the white elephant they've had in stock for ages. Andrew, if you'd been genuine in the video purchase, what it actually is, and the reasons behind it, you'd have got less negativity from me, but come on, you know the score here.

Gosh.

1200 miles on three year old oil and about to be driven home ... when Porsche are quite happy to run the car for two years and X000 miles to the first service without a running-in change ...

Did you miss it ? Or just a case of the spec not matching your personal preferences ...

The buyer knows the service is well overdue, but also says he will be taking out the extended Porsche warranty.

Will Porsche honour the warranty if the car hasn't been serviced correctly?

Yes, why not? you would just need to complete the Porsche service and 111 point check and then it will be entered back into extended warranty programme once you’ve owned the car for 3months.
