Default Advice on 2015 GT3

I’m looking into getting a 2015 GT3 that’s at a non Porsche dealer.
Currently has almost 30k on it and has PPCB’a.
Other than doing a PPI at an independent shop, are there any major concerns or items I should look at?

2 previous owners, it has the “F” engine, no rebuilds at all as far as that is what the carfax shows.

Njce build with a full PPF nose.

Cheers

measure the rotors, check for over-revs, have the paint measured with paint meter. then drive it like you stole it.

Have them check how much life is left on the brakes. There is a special tool that is required to do it. Other than that just have the PPI done and see what happens. If the car was tracked you need to take a much closer look at the maintenance records. The PPI should uncover that.

Thanks!
the DME shows Zone 1-2 events none in 3-6 that makes me feel pretty good.
I’ll have to do some research on how they can check the brakes of what the projected wear is left.

Ive driven quite a few GT3’s. This one was about the same, but I couldn’t quite pinpoint that there was a rattle when coming to a stop. I’ll have a PPI done this week

Measuring the fronts isn't too bad but the rears are best measured off the car.

How can you have any Type 2 over-revs with a PDK? Type 1, bumping of the rev limiter are meaningless.

If the car has been tracked, it should have new hubs after a certain mileage on the track. See if they are original...the service is expensive.
