Hey guys, hope all is well with you all.
I came across this 2015 991.1 Turbo S that I fell in love with, but it is a scary purchase because its my first Porsche and my first 100k+ car!
The car has a little under 30K miles and has me thinking about the upcoming services and maintenance that needs to be done.
Dose anyone know what are the first things I would need to do to the car and approximately how much it will cost?
I cant find a full mileage based service schedule timeline.
Really would appreciate the help!
Here is there actual car, any feedback is highly appreciated!
FIRST AND FOREMOST, I want to thank you all for responding, got more then I thought!
@worf928 I fell in love with it, it does seem too good to be true, and thank you for the maintenance info!!
@Nanook I don’t think I can, I spoke with Porsche and they said it’s not possible because the car is being sold by a non authorized Porsche dealer.
@mwlmd the enter and drive option I could live without, but I did want the CPO. The original warranty ends in September, BUT after speaking to a Porsche dealer, I was informed that the warranty won’t be valid because the car is being sold by a non authorized Porsche dealer, and I can’t buy and CPO plans for it.
I ran the CARFAX for you. The reason why the price is low is because of the reported damage on 3/16/2016. But IMO that's not a unreasonable starting price if you don't mind owning a driven car with a small bump that was repaired properly. Don't get all caught up in the pristine Porsche collector car thing cause this type of car is not that...
The two things that car is missing are porsche enter and drive keyless entry and a CPO warranty. When does the original warranty expire?
For some no Enter and Drive is a good thing. no CPO is not a good thing.

And now we know why.

Only a Porsche dealer can offer a CPO and it is (supposedly) not possible to CPO a Porsche with previous body damage. However, it may be possible to get a third-party warranty. There are threads on this on this and the 991 sub-forum.

That's is bu11$h1+. Factory warranty is valid regardless of how the car passes from owner to owner. However, issues caused by prior damage or poor workmanship will not be covered under warranty.

I tend to agree. However, I would want to have much more information about the damage and repair. For me, I would want the rear bumper cover pulled so that I could inspect what's underneath. Or, have an independent do a bumper-off PPI. I know what I'm looking for; I spend a lot of time correcting body shop "workmanship."
911 repair - especially Turbo - gets expensive fast.
In case Carfax damage doesn't bother you today, just remember down the road when it's time to
say goodbye - cars with stories...well you know the rest.
Once again, I want to start my respond off by thanking everyone for helping me with this.
@Harry Da Hamster Dude thank you X100!!! its just annoying that it doesn't say what was the exact damage, and I like how you think as far as the whole Porsche collecting thing!
@worf928 Yea, the CPO part is a bit scary, if I do pick the car up, I will probably get some kind of third party warranty.
A actual Porsche dealer representative told me about the whole warranty ending, but did not mention anything about a damaged car, just said if it doesn't go thru a Porsche dealer or a private sale then the warranty ends, but I will contact a different one and ask about it!
As far as a PPI, I will for sure do it, probably at BBI autosport and I'll ask them to remove the bumper to see if they can figure out what exactly happen because i don't want something that hasn't been fixed properly. Really appreciate your advise, thank you
@Hothonda@abiazis@Elliott991TS I understand what you're all saying, and completely agree, but the honest truth is, I cant really afford anything that's more then this, I'm already pushing my budget
It sounds like you’re leaning in It would be useful to see the rest of the Carfax to determine if the car was properly maintained? If kept on schedule there would have been a service come up at 26,000 miles in which case you’re good for a while, particularly if the plugs were changed? Then it’s a matter of assessing the nature of the damage reported.
