All their ads have the same generic description. Tells absolutely nothing about the car in question that buyers are looking for and it’s so generic it sounds like it’s autogenerated by a bot. They put no effort into the online descriptions of 99% of their cars. Most high end dealers that charge these top dollar prices usually have a very detailed description about the particular cars history and condition.

Prime example..... look at @switchcars write ups. Tons of detail there.

Plus they are using a stock photo vs a real photo of the car so people don't see the messed up hood gaps.

Looks like my 964 has found a new home. Of the current crop of things I see listed (since I only want a .1) the white PCCB car on PCarmarket is the front runner. Not crazy about having pccb’s as they honestly seem like more of a headache than a benefit but I’ll see how that one goes.

would love to find a clean steel braked cobalt blue car but I don’t think that’ll happen.

Easy swap to Girodisc steel rotors. Keep PCCB’s safe on a shelf and put them back on when it comes time to sell.

I dream of the day when I can put my PCCB back on and stop washing my wheels every 10 minutes.

“when you pull up in your car people look because the squeal hurts their ears…not because it’s cool, your ‘racing disk’ setup is ridiculous” - my wife

normal street use won’t do anything to a PCCB i would leave them on and enjoy

Do you intend to track the car? If not, the PCCBs are a great option to have. It's a lifetime rotor for street use, saves unsprung weight, and doesn't dust the wheels. The only potential risk is damaging the rotor during wheel removal and installation but if you're not a slob and don't bring your car to Firestone or Mavis for brake jobs or tire changes, there is nothing to worry about. All upside from my experience.
Now, if you track the car regularly, the PCCBs are still better brakes, but it will cost you dearly when it comes time to replace them.

The only time to take the car to Firestone is when you are in need of new PCCB rotors.

That's a really valid point, and no I don't plan on tracking the car heavily. Spirited drives and the occasional track day, maybe 1-2 a year at most.

PCCB all the way unless it's a track car. Even then, as suggested, shelve the rotors for steels if you do track. PCCB + Buckets are by far the best / most sought-after options you could spec on these.

Agreed. One of the only complaints I have with my GT3 is the iron brakes. They stop amazingly well, but even with Hyde’s Serum rust stopper after a wash, there’s remaining rust that gets on the wheel and there’s brake dust instantly.

Maybe one day, I’ll get a set of Surface Transforms.

I suppose the pcarmarket white car will be the one I will target then.

Alot of 997 GT3 owners are switching to Surface Transforms in lieu of PCCB or iron. I'm not sure what has changed in the 997 market recently but alot of you guys are needing new brakes. I am trying to build up inventory as we speak to be able to ship out the same day, but you guys keep buying them! Perfect for street or track, and have numerous benefits over stock iron or PCCB discs. 380/362mm and 392/362mm kits are available. For anyone interested, please reach out anytime to see if these are a good fit for you!
