Mr. Adair

Gents,

Possible getting a 2015 GT3 with 1,600 miles on it. It's getting a PPI monday at a dealer. Any specifics to be looking for at this early stage of it's life. Things i should be looking for or doing?

Thanks in advance.

i would't beother with ppi 1600 mile car
you can't over rev
as long as it's not hit, not sure what you trying to look for?

+991 I bought my 800 mile 2015 GT3 with just having a fellow RL member taking a look at the car.

As above I don't think it's necessary....PPI's usually pick up wear items and computer logs.....at 1600 miles you're not going to find a whole lot....

Mr. Adair

Sorry, I mis-spoke. I'm not paying for a PPI it's just getting a once over before pick up. The car is out of state. Was just asking if there was anything specific to look for. All good.

It certainly can't hurt to get a once over of the car to make sure the owner hasn't hit anything with the suspension, bottomed out the car (chassis' are soft), etc.

Good luck!

I bought mine sight unseen as seller known on rennlist. With warranty I worry not much

Make sure the center lock tool is still there. Also, I bought a lightly used car from out of state and it was missing the second key, so make sure that's there as well. Aside from that, I can't think of anything that would matter.

Could have easily been in an accident and you not know it. I know of a new GT3 that was in an accident, fixed and only requirement was that dealer disclosed the issue. Next owner will never know unless its been inspected. I'm not even sure the dealer has to disclose anything for used cars.

Congratulations! I'm assuming you are the same Adair from the other forum . Only things I'd really look for outside an accident is how much bottoming out the front end has sustained. As long as it's only the rubber, you are good.

Make sure it comes with a full tank of gas

Wouldn't hurt to get a DME readout. Porsche's over rev spec is pretty tight for the 991 GT3. The first range is only 200 rpms and Porsche states 'engine damage possible'. My DME recorded 66 hits.

second this... esp if the car is not equipped with lift

you came to your senses and are buying the 991 gt3 lol... you won't regret it

Mr. Adair

Good eye Ross! Yea, it's me and Thank You. Wire transfer hasn't happened yet but provided the check over comes clean I'm moving forward Monday. It's a pretty lightly optioned 2015 in White with 1500 miles. I have graphics planned think Motorsports livery for fun...

Mr. Adair

Hey Golfnut,

I know right? It was getting to be a bit of paralysis by analysis. These things happen when you have been waiting a decade to buy one. Thanks for your support as well...

Maybe the next one will be easier?
