If its minus 60k, I would buy a second one.

I have been hearing numbers like that based on the warranty paperwork some owners have been allowed to see. Includes the higher cost air freight. I believe the labor hours are set by Porsche AG, but not sure about labor rate.

My time is almost up on my 10 yr Warranty as of today I’m sitting on 39k miles

enthusiast

Please remember I am talking nearly equivalent cars. One already has G6 engine installed under warranty and the other has not (and warranty expired). When the engine fails are you willing to pay the difference $70,000-$15,000=$55,000 out of pocket?

Do we really think PCNA will leave .1 owners with their original E/F motors out in the cold? I feel like they won't let the value of these cars tank. I could be wrong but I want to believe they would do the right thing.

enthusiast

Yes.

I want to believe the best from Porsche AG but they don't have a great record with engine issues. Example, Intermediate Shaft Bearing failures do to bad design (oiling). Porsche AG continued to make the engines and while they fiddled with bearing changes, etc. they never fixed the lubrication issue. That hammered the resale value on cars with those engines.

My replacement G6 engine failed at 8K miles. Perhaps an uncommon occurrence, but it was enough to make me sell the car before the engine warranty expired.

Porsche needs to provide a decent mileage and time warranty on all replacement engines (e.g., 4 years or 25k miles), otherwise the value of these cars will tank and it will be a black mark for Porsche. That would be a shame because, other than the engine issue, 991.1 GT3 is a fantastic car.

No, that's why I sold my G6 and bought a 385 mile GT4 with almost the entire factory warranty remaining. I'm just stating the current difference in values, at this moment, of two identical 991.1 GT3's with an E or F or G0 motor versus a G6.

I hear a lot of dealers won't buy one without a G6, but then see some who have never heard of the issue, and some CPO'ing 2014's.

I think G6 cars will actually go up in value because of this, once it's more widespread knowledge that there's a solid engine out there.

Manifold

My first G6 was the opposite of solid. I doubt I got the only G6 that was flawed.

AndrewLakes

One would think more failures (is it 3 now in total that fail like the 991.2 engines?) would pop up online. It is a moving engine after all, I agree they are not indestructable.

What caused the failure, finger follower or something else?

Manifold

Something else, I think bottom end, can’t recall exactly.

I suspect Porsche will not do anything special after the 10 year warranty period, except maybe off the record good will. That being said once the warranties are expired I do believe the aftermarket shops will make kits / retrofit options to repair the issue.

Pretty sure my warranty is up now or at the end of the month on my 2014. I can’t be alone in that.
