I would be curious about that flywheel repair, I have never heard of that having to be worked on or replaced, maybe someone in here has some experience, but that would be a red flag for me, like did they have to replace to PDK or was it malfunctioning?

Not a Thing
There is no benefit whatsoever except to the stealership you are giving the extra 2K too. The insurance policy sold by fidelity has terms that will either be honored or denied regardless of who sells it.
I'll check them out, thank you.
Also, does anyone know whether there is any truth to this: My local Porsche dealer told me that the benefit of buying the fidelity powertrain warranty through them is that they inspect the car before issuing the policy so that things cannot later be excluded by fidelity when they made a repair. They want around 2k more than other independent and none porsche dealerships I have spoken to. First, is there any reason why I should get the warranty from Porsche (even though they are both Fidelity powetrain warranties)? Second, what is the benefit of getting it via Porsche, if any? Thanks.

So locked in on a 2010 base model single owner 45k miles black on black c2 manual rwd for $41K. Don’t have option list but what I’m aware of 18” wheels, bose.. pretty standard. Looks like original rotors/pads so probably will need to be changes in next 5-10kmiles, new tires but pissed they are all season dws (also pissed re71’s apparently don’t come in oem 18” sizes). Overall cars is great shape, super pumped.

the difference is
2k. The terms of the UK insurance policy are the same. If they have not inspected the car why pay the dealer/tax anyway ? I would only buy the platinum

The Fidelity power train warranty on a 53k mile should cost you around $1,500 for 1 year and 24 k miles or around $2k for 2 years and 24k miles. Dealer cost is about $1,200 and $1,500 for just the power train warranty.

They are just gouging you. You can negotiate price of warranty as there is a huge mark up and that is how the finance manager makes his money off your deal.

I would not recommend getting a power train only warranty on this car because the only components covered are the engine, transmission, and drive axle which are probably the three least likely parts to break. Get a PPI done and don’t waste your money on a warranty unless you are getting a “bumper to bumper”.
Regarding the engine out repair, I wouldn’t be overly concerned since the work was done at a Porsche dealership. If you decide to move forward with the purchase and would like additional info on the repair then shoot me a message and I’ll do some digging for you.

Advice on 997.1 C2S
Completely new to seaching for a 911. I just got out of a F80 M3. I travel a lot for work and only drive on the weekends. Looking to get into an older model 911 that will hold value as an investment as well.
Can you fine gents (and ladies) advise if this is a good deal. Looks to be well speced and low miles.

Closest to you is probably NARW in Reseda. You can give them a try, I've never used them before personally.
