GT3-FL

Hello Forum Members,

I need some advice. I have owned several Cayennes but now I am looking for a 2014-2015 GT3. I've been doing some research and found out that there was an engine issue early on. Consequently, Porsche extended the motor warranty on all 2014-2015 GT3's to 10 year 120K miles.

Ideally, I would like to find one that is certified and less than 10K miles but I have found a few with over 10K and not certified for "reasonable" asking prices.

If I decide to go the non-certified over 10K mile route, what should I look out for? Issues, maintenance, etc.

thanks in advance.

Get a PPI done before hand on whatever your looking at and go from there. GL

How much does that typically run?

Probably whatever they charge for an hour but my reference is 5 years old. But worth it if you are spending "xxxxxx".

Either way you get a 10 year 120k warranty! Get the car and enjoy GT3

PPI run about 400-600$

Small price to pay for avoiding a big headache. I have bought several airplanes over the years and have voided two deals due to the PPI. Those inspections were a couple of grand a pop. I happily paid and never looked back.

I agree 100%. What about the PCCB option? Is it worth getting or is the maintenance/replacement not worth it? I realize there is a performance difference but I won't be tracking it.

Carbon brakes are worth having and particularly attractive when buying used and benefiting from depreciation. As yours will be a road car only, you can expect extremely long life from both the disks and pads. Less unsprung weight, better ride quality, incredible performance and no brake dust make for a nice option. Yellow calipers are an added bonus if you happen to prefer them to red. Good luck with your search!

Could I swap out the rotors for iron rotors if I decide to track it?

Yupp common swap I think its $3-4k minus labor unless your handy with a wrench.

The GT3's huge Steel Brakes offer far more braking power than you will ever need, are easier to modulate, and avoid the possibility of a future $35,000 Brake replacement in the event of damage or chipping.
Definitely buy a car with a recent Porsche Dealer PPI, preferably from the original owner who should supply a Clean Carfax with no accident or paintwork. If you are concerned with the Engine,
try to find a car with the latest 2016 "G" model engine, which has proven to be extremely reliable. Shamelessly, my GT3.1 meets all those requirements and I have reduced the price to $114,950
to make room for my GT3.2. on Cars.com:

I am in Longwood, FL. Not very far from you. I was looking for one that had the front axle lift option but I would like to take a look at yours. How easy is it to remove the center stripes?

The .1's have 10 yr 120k engine warranty. Look for a 2015 with buckets. Drive the hell out of it. My only fear would be the PDK tranny having problems, but most have been fine so far.
