In light of the thread "Porsche 997 C2S nightmare" I was wondering if club members had an opinion on the following.
How stringent are the checks that the RAC carry out on pre owned vehicle before sale ?
The reason I ask is because I am also in "disagreement" with the OPC that I purchased my 06 C2s from in December, Basically when I collected the car the registration plates were not on straight, (1/2" drop from one side to the other) and the interior leather was badly marked. The OPC collected the car and "repaired" the leather and straighten the plates ( by drilling six holes in the front plinth through the bumper). It went back again to have the holes filled.
I then waxed the car and found a dent on the near side still and the front bumper O/S fin had been repaired (not to Porsche standard and having been in touch with the previous owner not work he had done).
Also the clutch has a slight judder and the RMS is leaking "slightly"
Back it went again (4th time) to have the bodywork done, I actually told them I would pay for the sill dent as I could not positively say it was there when I took delivery. I have driven the car for approximately 500 miles and the OPC have had the vehicle and driven it for approximately 100 mile.
Went to collect to find nothing had been done in 4 days of them having the vehicle, I was told the dent had been sealed but to do the job correctly would need all the sealant taking off the sill and re sealing which would be different to the other side.
I suppose what I am asking is should the "poor" repair to the front bumper been noted when the RAC checked and presumably passed it, and on reading some threads I cannot believe it passed with even the slightest of RMS leak !
Just for my info it it normal for the rear bumper to get badly stone chipped within 500 miles ? it looks like a cheese grater already, my Boxster had a few marks after 4years of ownership but nothing this bad.
