Speculation and completely incorrect. It was the perfect car. Had everything I wanted but it's a Porsche so I wanted to make sure it was all good before looking forward to a long and happy ownership. I should have had it inspected before hand but as it was a dealer rather than private I thought it would be fine to do it after. 997s are prone to bore scoring and I wanted to make sure it was fine. The 111 point inspection is very common and at £216 is not cheap. Car is an 05 plate with 76k. So average mileage. Model is Carreras S. I'm not going to say what I paid for it but it was market price. It was not discounted. I only paid around 5% by cash as this was the deposit. The responses I have received on here seem to assume I intentionally went out to return it. I didn't. I thought I had found the perfect car. Porsche were the ones to tell me initially that due to the problems and the very short ownership that it would be best to reject.

Hi. This is my first post but I have used some valuable information from this site in the past. I recently bought a Porsche 911 from what appeared to be a very reputable dealer. I had Porsche perform a 111 point inspection yesterday. They informed me of some serious engine problems and advised returning it. I called the dealer with this information and today I sent the following letter accompanying the inspection report, recorded delivery: On 29th June 2014 I purchased, and took delivery of, the above vehicle from XXX. On 2nd July 2014 I discovered that it was not of satisfactory quality. This was highlighted by the report produced from Porsche East London after an official 111 point inspection (attached). Within the report Porsche indicated the following: · Knocking noise from right-hand side of engine, suspected bore/piston issue. This was backed up by evidence of discolouration of left-hand side exhaust pipe caused by increased oil use on the right-hand engine bank · Right-hand front coil road-spring snapped · Brake pipe support bracket securing bolt snapped It was also indicated, which I had experienced from day of purchase: · Judder felt through steering when 1st applying brakes Section 14 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 requires dealers to supply goods of satisfactory quality. However, the vehicle is clearly not of a satisfactory quality which is defined as free from minor defects, safe and durable for a reasonable length of time. You are therefore in breach of contract. I am legally entitled to reject the vehicle and to be reimbursed for its full purchase price of £xxxxx. I will give you seven (7) days to reply to me accepting, unconditionally, my request in principle and advising me of a date by which I will receive payment. If you do not respond, or you do not respond positively within this time period, I shall send you a letter before action that will outline my intention to recover the full amount plus interest , costs and compensation through the Courts. Once an agreement has been reached to the points contained within this letter, you are entitled to the return of the vehicle to your business premises (at your own expense). If they ask to inspect the vehicle do I have to permit them to take it away or can I refuse and demand a refund? One final note, I paid for the majority of the vehicle on Credit Card to cover me under Consumer Credit Act. Thanks,
