Hi all, just seen a GTS that I am going to look at. Is there a list of items that would be car specifics worth checking please?
Thanks in advance.
Items to look for when going to view a 2nd hand car
This is a guide from Porsche Club of America

Transfer box seems a common weakness and I believe Porsche is extending warranties on this part in acknowledgment. My car had an over tightened gasket causing an oil leak. Engine and gearbox out job to fix and took 3 weeks
Who is the seller? OPC or and Indy , garage or private? I'd get it inspected if neither of the first two, esp if it is out of manufacturers warranty
More details please!

If that’s the one in your PM then it does not have 18 way seats, it has GTS seats with leather. 18 way look the same but have many more adjustments.IMORTAL_Indian wrote: ↑Sat Apr 10, 2021 9:49 pm 2016- carbon pack, pan roof, 18-way seats, LED Lights Full service history, 9 months warranty remaining. 30k miles - private seller

no, its another one.
Also, how to purchase a car if it's got outstanding finance? Let them clear the finance first or agree the deal and me then pay the finance company the outstanding balance and pay the buyer the difference? Sorry, this is my first big car purchase and any guidance would be appreciated.

Pay off the outstanding finance over the phone at the sellers home and pay the difference direct to the seller . Just make sure that the finance company provide email evidence that they no longer have any financial interest in the vehicle.

1. Any recommendations on a person/company that can check out and assess the car from a private seller in near east London or Essex?
2) how to make payment to the seller? Is direct bank transfer ok?

Have to be careful when checking HPI on a second hand car. If it does show up from a non OPC dealer then ask them about it. These dealers often finance their purchases themselves and clear just prior to finalising their sale.

I would go via a broker. Their commission would be worth the lack of hassle.Boxster2Macan wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 11:06 am 1. Any recommendations on a person/company that can check out and assess the car from a private seller in near east London or Essex?
