111 point check and OPC warranty renewal query

[mattski]

Hi,

I should be getting my first 996 next week after having a 111 point OPC check and any issues sorted out. However, the car already has OPC warranty until december so does anyone know whether the new 111 point check will still be valid for warranty renewal? Or, should I just renew the warranty early? btw, it will be a second car for weekend ues so it probably won't see much use upto the warranty renewal date.

ta,
Matt

The only point in getting a 111 point inspection on an already warranteed car is either

A) You're buying the car off a dealer in which case the warranty is not transferable and you would need to get a new one.

B) You want to get the car inspected anyway as not all things on the 111 point inspection are covered by the warranty.

or both.

Edited to say, OPCs will vary in the gap they allow between an inspection and getting the warranty out, some will allow a few weeks, some will say a few days....I got mine after 2 weeks no problem. I think there is a limit to how far in advance you can extend the warranty. Some people tried to do this last year to avoid the price hike to the current £895 but could not. IIRC the limit is 1 month.

Thanks for the info. Do you know whether a new 111 point check is needed to just renew a warranty that's about to expire or can it be done without it?

Not needed if no gap. Sensible really as any faults found would be claimable under existing cover.
