Looking at a 2015 991 GT3. Are there over rev reports or anything in particular I need to look out for on these? Just sold my 2012 997TT and NEED a GT3 in my life
Found a Yellow one with options I like. Would love your thoughts on these cars.

Thanks guys!

No over revs on the PDK cars - your all set. Enjoy the car!

So nothing but the normal? Paint work,blemishes,tires,brakes? How can I check if still under warranty? Did 2015 have issues like 2014 cars?

Find out what series engine is in the car and determine if has been replaced. Not that is matters with the extended engine warranty, however if the engine has been replaced the car is not original. This may or may not matter to you. Check with Porsche dealer for the in-service date to determine how much of the factory warranty is remaining. Check service records on Carfax to start.

These are great cars and hard to go wrong. Normal due diligence- Carfax, PPI, etc. Browse the thread on the COG subject. Yes there are potential engine issues with finger follower wear. The good news is depending on in-service date, you have engine warranty until at least late 2024. Worst case is some inconvenience. If you plan to track the car (HPDE) I would ask seller for representation/documentation of prior track use as there are mileage driven maintenance items for CLs, hubs, bearings. Best of luck.

This ^^^.

I'd want to see complete service records and also understand it's track use. When I sold my RS I provided both including detailed info on track use and maintenance. That way the next owner knew what to expect particularly on the hub maintenance.

Note: If you end up buying a .1 GT3 send me a PM and I'll provide some interesting maintenance information in PDFs.

I would actually ask for DME "rev report" just in case, it cant hurt and doesn't cost anything. From what I read (and I could be wrong), you could over rev PDK in certain situations and remember, if this "rare" occurrence happened and engine hits Range 4-6 on DME report, Porsche may not replace and/or repair the engine due to this, so yo have nothing to lose by getting the report. I actually pulled my own DME report on my MT GTS just to see what this looked like and what could occur, so talk to Porsche rep, again, what do you have to lose?

see you tube video I watched actually yesterday:
happy shopping!!

Thanks guys

In service 2/2/18

No notes on Carfax about an engine replacement. So no warranty?

Cant get service records from selling dealer. Sucks because its my color and options I have been looking for. (Yellow)

^camdon ,
fwiw my 15 has been bulletproof thus far (aside from low fuel tigerring limp on track . )
The car you are looking you state a 15 , so guessing not at a Porsche Dealer being offered for sale , looking at your signature you must have a relationship
with a local P dealer or establish that with a visit to the service dept. with the vin for the 15 you are interested in to find out what service history and in service
date is in P system for the car in question , the motor now has a 10yr/120k PCNA engine warranty for engine internals from original in service date , and you may have some of the last 4 year warranty still in effect . I would try and contact the original owner if possible to establish history and care . as Zedcat and tstaford have mention key to know t miles for proper maintenance schedule for that use and to maintain compliance .
If it were my car up for sale i would be thrilled to share knowledge with a perspective buy for the car.
I think there's a lot of performance and value for the Buck with 15's .
Best and GL in the hunt

Thanks so much Deacon. I just made a post looking for a different one as I would prefer (as you guys stated) to buy one privately with some history. This one not totally out of the question yet.
Thanks again

Did you mean in-service date of 2/2/15? If so then there is full factory warranty until 2/2/19, and the engine warranty til 2/2/25. A few times I have gotten dealers to tell me orally the service history of used cars without disclosing the prior owners. Have you run a Carfax? Not perfect but often will show dealer service.

naptownmike

I have two unused carfax reports if you need one let me know.

NytRydr

I will take you up on this. Let me know if I should sent you the VIN here or email it to you. Much appreciated.

camdon

Thanks Mike for the offer. I have a friend with an account. Much appreciated.

I would always ask for the DME, specially in the 14-15-16 engines to see the misfire count...
