Cayman 718 GPF Failure

Maybe if potential buyers told the OPCs that they will only buy if the issue is covered within the Porsche Approved Warranty, it would start making a difference to their attitude.

I told my OPC this when they offered me 2.0 2019.

Not surprisingly , they refused to put in writing it would be covered so I walked away. 8 weeks later the car was still on sale...

Hi, it's from a well known independent on SOR, inspection next week.

As it is a SOR deal, the dealer is not offering any form of warranty, only brokering the deal between you and the private seller. This does enable the reaminder of the Porsche extended warranty to be transferred to you but, as you say, this does not cover the GPF.

Only a very small percentage of cars seem to be affected, but it is certainly an added risk. In the first instance I would speak to the independent dealer and ask them what their position is on this problem.

I would imagine they will say is that they are the middleman and any issues aren't down to them. It's worth having a VAL report done, as Dave has mentioned in a previous post, to see what the figures look like and maybe discuss the results with him. Fingers crossed there isn't an issue.

I'd like to see more stats on a VIN window though. It would give more of an indication as to whether there is an issue with a batch of cars. Saying that, I've just checked the VIN on my previous 2020 Cayman 2.0 and it falls within the 1000 VIN window Dave has mentioned however, in the 10000 miles and 18 month I owned it the only real issue I had was with the turbo actuator sticking and as a result the turbo was replaced when the OPC took in and did the 111 point check.
