Editorial Reviews

Greg Raven, European Car [formerly VW Porsche Magazine]

If you find it difficult to believe that any type of comprehensive inspection could be performed by a lay person you underestimate the quality of information provided by Driven By Design. With over 60 steps, procedures, and questions even a novice should be able to develop an accurate evaluation of a 356... prior to taking the vehicle to his mechanic for a more thorough inspection.

Driven By Design has done an admirable job of describing the pre-purchase inspection procedure.. the complaints are vanishingly inconsequential compared to the wealth of information imparted. If you are contemplating the purchase of a 356 , you simply must have this video tape. And if you have a 356 and are thinking about putting it on the market, you may want to buy this tape so you won't have to learn the condition of your car second hand from the savvy buyers armed with innocent-looking flashlights and screwdrivers.

Product Description

The legend of the Porsche 356 gets stronger each year. Many people would like to purchase this legendary Porsche but are concerned about the risks. Driven by Design used their expertise with these cars and developed inspection videos for the Porsche 356. The cars are reviewed methodically in an organized step by step format. You see how to actually make an inspection that will separate the good cars from the less desirable ones. See over 25 detailed body inspections and 45 mechanical ones including electrical, suspension and the test drive! Do you love classic cars? Do you want to buy a 356? See what to check and where it is. Do you already own a 356? learn to troubleshoot problems. The inspections are done on a typical car with existing condition that you will encounter in the marketplace. You'll learn to recognize exactly what a problem is. Worksheets accompany this video to make your own inspections easy and very complete. As a bonus we have included a "numbers match" check list showing where they are located and telling you why they are important. Where necessary cars are put on a hoist to make it easy to see the specific areas of the inspections. These videos reduce the risks associated with buying a used Porsche and set a standard for all car inspections.

The "bring along" worksheets which accompany the video, provides the viewer with a handy reminder when inspecting a car. What we achieve is showing the prospective buyer that there is more to buying a Porsche then a quick ride around the block. Our easy to understand format will allow the car enthusiast or the casual buyer the same advantages. Many classic car buyers wish they had a tool such as this when they bought their first classic car. Designed for everyone who is interested in buying a 356.
