Default 2019 Porsche GT3 RS info/advice

Hello everyone,

I am in market for 2019 Porsche GT3 RS.
The dealer I work with able to find one where previous owner is selling his 2019 GT3 RS with 4500 miles. He was one of first who picked up in July from Germany, drove there and then in states.

The MSRP for this car was $214K. And dealer is asking $230K. Comes with Porsche Certified until July 2024, unlimited miles. Have all packages that I need except front axle lift


What you guys think? Looking for suggestions, comments, advice, right pricing, etc.

Personally a front axel lift is a must for me and the roads around where I live. These cars have very low ground clearance. Saving grace is the front spoiler is easily replaceable at minimal cost. If not a issue for you and the roads in your area, it doesn’t sound like an outrageous asking price particularly with the added warranty.

Unfortunately price seems fair with today's market....tough call especially for you coming up to Winter and buying and looking at it.....you can wait it out until the Spring or pony up and know you have it ready to go.....honestly the FAL is nice but not a must IMO....inevitably I still scrape because I fail to deploy....the part is cheap....

If it was me and I was in the market if I found the color I wanted I'm buying.....

Doesn't sound like a bad deal, basically a 10k adm since its certified and I assume that cost 4-5k. If its the right color and options, I'd buy it. If you don't buy it, post the dealership info and I'm sure someone else probably will...

Buy it, don't worry about the front lift.
Price is really good...

I was gonna say pass, until I saw that it has an unlimited mile warranty? Maaaaybe that would make a $16K premium for a 4,500-mile car worth it. Then again, how often do these cars really break down and do you plan on driving the crap out of it? If you plan on cranking out 50,000+ miles in it, then go for it.

New Porsche CPO is unlimited miles WITHIN the warranty window, not lifetime of the car.

CPO warranty is 2 years. If still under the 4 year, it's 2 years on top of whatever is left on the 4 year.

There is a buyer for every car. I would want fal but if you love the car buy it and enjoy it. There will alwYs be a buyer for it later when you sell.

Not following current ask on these but not many available.

No lift. No way.
nonsense....

lift is overrated...

have not scraped anywhere with my 2019 gt3rs, take it easy and slow down for bumps... if massive bump then avoid .. also if at speed then FAL will not help you...

I would be more concerned about how it was driven in those 4500 miles, was it broken in properly, but then again, you have many schools of thought on that...

So.... just do it, it's an amazing raw experience!

When you're in it and driving, nothing matters except engine, gearbox, suspension and brakes matter, it's perfect sensory overload...... everything else such as color, interior etc. all become much less relevant...

This. My driveway is as bad as they come, and worse case I just replace the lip once a year.

Currently, my M4 Competition (with front lip spoiler) has ground clearance of 4.9" (125mm). I drive around Chicagoland and have ZERO scrap.
But GT3 RS has ground clearance of only 3.5" (89mm). Without the FAL, hmmm I do not know. I have to be SUPER careful and use angle approach.

Simple. How much is the least expensive available . 2 3RS with fal?

How many replacement splitters can you buy for the difference?

Agree that FAL is overrated. I never spec it; I did on current RS bc I did ED and was unsure of what roads would throw at me. Didn’t use it a single time.
