BangoO:
The Porsche dealer is offering me a very good deal on my 997 CS, so I'm seriously considering taking this 991 CS.
It has the Servotronic plus, is that good or bad ?
It's from 11/11 and was used as a presentation model for Porsche France, I see that it has been used by french magazines as a test car (I've found it on at list one magazine on youtube)... is that a problem ?
Finally, is it worth asking for a PIWIS test on a car with PDK ?
Thx again !
Well, I still think the car is a bit overpriced but if your dealer offers good money for your old 997 CS...
Servotronic plus works just fine on the 991, you shouldn't worry too much.
The market introduction cars are pretty much OK, I would worry however about the testing because not all car journalists really treat test cars with respect. On the other hand, you still have warranty on this car, right?!
I would definitely try to lower the price tag or at least get a set of winter wheels included in the deal.
My "deal" would be: 110k EUR, set of winter wheels included and the same good price for my used car. I would offer 105k EUR though, so the dealer has some margin to ask for more.
Why should they test the car with PiWiS? If there are software updates available, the dealer can see it in their system. Which would be another point: Make sure they have all the software updates, etc. done before you get the car. Not sure how many there are there but I know of at least one but maybe it has been done already.
