Hi all,
A colleague of mine has put a deposit down on a second hand 718 Cayman, the car was sold from an OPC having passed the 111 point check, with approved warranty.
However, upon further investigation, we discovered that the car had logged overrevs in range 3 at the start of its life (while it was a demonatrator one assumes).
After the sale was agreed, the dealer recently confirmed that the investigatory work required to approve the warranty after a range 3 overrev was never completed, however they currently taking apart the engine to complete the work for this, however it’s a bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
He has Not taken delivery of the car yet, just placed a deposit, if you were in this situation, what would you do? I feel like the OPC have been dishonest here and tried to cover it up, and he almost ended up buying a lemon.
Many thanks.
Ps if this is in the wrong forum, please move it, I don’t post here a lot.
