You don’t think if the G6 continues to be as reliable as the .2 motor that people will find added value in the cars with the G6 after the 10 years? I could see the others dropping because of the unknown of the earlier motors, but I’m hoping the reliability of G6 props up its value.

What are the differences in value between cars with the ims fix and without? I think that would be telling for future .1 values. Along with the cost of the fix in relation to value.

I honestly was shocked when I sold my G6'd .1 on here how few people were actually aware of it or saw any value to it being in place.

Personally, I see tons of value but lets face it... the topic is confusing, highly nuanced, riddled with anecdotal confidence and most people are sort of dumb. It's tough to see how they're all not going to be impacted across the board.

There is a mechanical solution available through Dundon Motorsport. I posted photo of the cylinder head with the new followers attached. The warranty scuttled the solution moving forward at the time. However, after the warrant y period ends or gets close to the end, this will be available. Will Porsche step up? If I had to put $$ on it, I would say no. That would open then up to all other warranty issues past, present and in the future.
The 918 is their top of the line vehicle at present and those customers are left hanging for solutions, so my opinion is, the GT3 owner will be no different. If Porsche were going to offer a mechanical solution, they would have by now.
Stay in touch with Jamie and lets see where this all goes.

I cant see anyone putting a warranty on the fix, a easy way to go out of business for sure. Changing the heads to the .2 would be the way to go.

Jacks transmission put a 14 month unlimited mile warranty on the flawed CBA transmission in my GT-R. I wouldn’t consider that significant, but considering the transmissions were handling 700 torque, that’s standing by your work. Jack is certainly not going out of business.

understood, but we are talking about pretty expensive gt3 engine.500 hp. 13.00 compression, and 9k , is nothing to take lightly for a engine to stay alive, let alone to get 100k miles out of before it needs a rebuild.

Good news and bad news folks. I’m finally back on the road with another G6 in my car. The bad news is that I didn’t get anymore information on the cause of the last motor’s failure. The techs found an oil, coolant, and metal shaving smoothie in the crankcase and that seemed to be the end of the investigation.

2015 GT3 purchase?
Hello all,
It's been a while since I've last posted - Been very busy lately...
Looking at a 2015 GT3 Clubsport package up the road from me in Matosinhos.
The car has about 8,000km / 4960 mi., full clear bra, axle lift, ect...
Original owner. From a private collection
Engine Serial F01117
I am being told that I can get an extended Porsche warranty up to January 2028
I have contacted Porsche Centro Porto for specifics.
The selection is very limited here and good cars (actually all cars) are VERY expensive!

How about some updated opinions on value to this thread?
Consider 991.1 GT3 with original engine, engine operates correctly, and expired Ten Year Engine Warranty. How much less is it worth over an equivalent car with engine replaced by Porsche (a G6 Series) ?
minus $60,000 ?

I would say 15k at this point. Paying a bit extra for the G6 is well worth it in my opinion.
