Hi,
I have a 2006 Porsche 997C2S, which I have had from new.
I have heard a strange rattling noise within the drivers side door for the last couple of weeks.
Taking the car to my dealer, they telephoned me to say that they had discovered that 2 spot-welds on a steel repair plate inside the door are weak and will need re-welding.
The only problem is that I haven't been involved in an accident, let alone have a major bodywork repair.
The only person to ever drive the car was me and the delivery drivers from the dealerships.
Would anyone be able to advise me on a legal basis where I stand?
If the damage was done prior to delivery to me, and I had known about it, I would never have paid full price for the car.
Also, the car is out of warranty in 2 weeks. What if there are other undiscovered damage/repairs? can I insist on a warranty extension at their cost? or maybe a fully independent inspection?
Can I expect a rebate on the purchase price, or should I instruct a lawyer to deal with this?
Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
BTW, I have no personal proof that I didn't cause the damage and have it repaired other than the fact that my insurance company will confirm that I have had no claims since the purchase of the car.
TIA
