Default 2010 997.2 GT3

Hi,

I am looking at pulling the trigger on a CPO '10 GT3 with low miles. Is there anything I should watch out for in the presale check?

Much obliged.

David

Can't see much to worry about on a 1 year old car with low miles being CPO'd by a dealer.

Make sure the centerlock update was done, check over-revs.

DME report for over-revs, body damage, paint thickness, vehicle history - CPO should give you reassurance.

You didn't ask but make sure you get Dynamic Engine Mounts.

Have them print out a DME for your records. Add a clear bra, if not already installed. Then drive that baby!

If the car is CPO'd then not much to worry about. It's going to be an amazing car. Post pics after you buy her:-)
