Mar 18, 2015 11:18

Any sports car enthusiast knows the classic Porsche 911 for its world class design and top performance. Among all the German sports car ever manufactured, the Porsche is one of those cars which are still in production. So, before you go ahead and buy the car, there are a few guidelines and tips to follow so that at the end, you get value for your money and make a great purchase.

The Resale Value

Some may argue that if you buy a car that has one of the common colors like black and silver, it may be easy to sell it at a favorable price when you wish to dispose it. However, what you should pay more attention to is whether the car is manually or automatically transmitted. In most cases, a manual gear box car is preferred than the automatic one as it has a high resale value. However if the automatic car suits your needs, forget the future owner and go for what you love.

Where To Buy Your Porsche

The best place to buy a used Porsche is the Official Porsche Centre, (OPC). Every Porsche you buy here reaches you in the high standards expected of any German car and you will also get a 2 year warranty. There are three areas where you should avoid buying your Porsche from; an auction, a private seller and from a car dealer. Although auctions may appear cheap, their cars are actually high priced and you will face many issues before you buy one. A private seller may be disposing of a Porsche due to certain mechanical and technical issues that won’t be disclosed to you only to find out later that you got a raw deal. The car dealers on the other hand act as brokers for these private sellers. A good dealer in the north-west for Porsche Parts: Tech 9.



Pre-Purchase Inspections

Since buying the classic Porsche can cost you up 20,000 pounds, it is important to have it inspected by a Porsche specialist so that you get an expert opinion. Failure to do this may make you end up doing very expensive mistakes that will haunt you. The good thing is that there are no 911s that could go wrong for you and you just have to go by your taste and buy any porsche that please you.

Buying Tip

Make sure that any dealer gives you a warranty that has no limit on the maximum claim. Engine repairs and other repair services are very costly and you need to be covered at all times for any amount.
