The short answer: yes, you need a Porsche pre-purchase inspection on any used Porsche. A good one costs a few hundred pounds and can save you thousands.
What does a Porsche pre-purchase inspection cover?
- A borescope check of the cylinders and an engine health check.
- A DME over-rev report on manual cars.
- IMS bearing and clutch history on M96 and M97 cars.
- Body, paint depth, underside, suspension, brakes and tyres.
- History file, MOT history and HPI check.
How much does it cost in the UK?
Typically around £250 to £500 at an independent Porsche specialist, more with a borescope.
Do I need to be there?
It helps, but no. A good inspector sends photos, video and a written report.
Can 2911 help?
Yes. Every car I sell is 2911 Approved, and through my Advisory service I'll give you an honest view of a car you've found elsewhere. See services or book a consultation.
