Hello all
Member for 2.5 years but first time poster.
I'd be really grateful for views on Service and Warranty for my 987 Spyder as I can't decide what's best.
I bought the car with 21,000 miles 2.5 years ago and after 6 months had it serviced and put on a 2 year OPC warranty. Since then I've done 850 miles (I know, don't say a word) and its due another (major this time) service and I'm considering renewing the warranty. I've had 2 quotes from OPCs in Surrey and both are between £2,500 and £2,700 for both the major service (not drivebelt) and 2 year warranty. Bearing in mind I'm not looking to sell in the next 2 years so added value of OPC warranty is only for me and not re-sale, I would welcome views on the following:
Would you OPC warrant a 9 year old car that does 500 miles per year?
Do you think OPC servicing adds as much value to the resale as the additional it costs over a good indy specialist service?
Who would you recommend as a respected indy in the Surrey area?
Any experience of major (expensive) faults on 987.2 that may persuade me to go down OPC route.
I do appreciate this is very personal, but all views welcome as I ponder whether to shell out.
Many thanks
Anthony
