Looks like a bargain. Porkupine said:
A great history of services. All from one dealer. One owner. Looks good.
But for me, mileage would be an issue. Money would need spending for sure!
That is only assuming that the OPC hasn`t done everything needed to the car along the way with that total PFSH! But for me, mileage would be an issue. Money would need spending for sure!
If this was a company run and financed car, what is the problem?
Sadly, the OPC network Data Protection s
t will prohibit investigation into what has ever been done...

I was able to obtain info from the OPC of what work had been carried out on my GT3 when I was looking to buy it (private) - all i needed was the VIN number?If this was a company run and financed car, what is the problem?

Inaccurate I'm afraid. We regularly find out cars history using either VIN or VRM. If someone says otherwise at the end of the phone, they can't be arsed.

Steviebee, Wow! I am now seriously worried if one can get OPC printouts of previous owners service bills and repairs. Stevie.

I am now very concerned about my OPC and their data protection protocol!

Can't see any foul there.

List of "stuff" done to a car - not who for/where did they live/what's their sexual orientation etc.
Can't see any foul there.
Jim
This is what I got, basically dates of services and what was included in service plus OPC supplied set of new PS2's etc. No details of the previous/current owner were given. Can't see any foul there.

Why do people automatically assume higher mileage cars are unloved?
This car has averaged 13k per year throughout its 11years of ownership, has a good service history, and is for sale at a respected indie.
I reckon this has every chance of being an excellent motor.
It certainly has at least an equal chance of being a good car vs a 'low mileage' car. Whatever that is!This car has averaged 13k per year throughout its 11years of ownership, has a good service history, and is for sale at a respected indie.

Can't see anyone on this thread who has assumed it is unloved! The opposite in fact with the service record. Not sure where you got that one from. Or are you just talkin in general, high mileage = unloved ?This car has averaged 13k per year throughout its 11years of ownership, has a good service history, and is for sale at a respected indie.

All very well and good but-would you buy it? I am going there (JZM) today so take a look at it and maybe......
Only if it was a keeper for life and the PPI was ok......however every car I buy is a "keeper" but they tend to get sold within 12-18 months!!!
PS If this was at RSJ or 911Virgin I'd be more interested - not heard too much about this outfit apart from some negative feedback touted around yesterday with cars not being as described?

That surprises me. The cars at JZM are all exceptionally well prepared, and are on an equal par with RSJ in that respect.They are a very well respected outfit, and from personal experience, their level of service and knowledge is excellent. I have used them several times and have had no complaints whatsoever. They have also been voted independent Porsche tuner of the year for the last 4 years at the 911UK awards, so they must be doing something right.
I would have no worries buying from them, and would be pretty confident that the car would not need any money spending on it for a while. They will likely make the car as close to perfect as an 11 year old car with such mileage can be.
