I'm like 3_PDLS in that I do not get any squeal or noise with my PCCB's. Don't let the possibility of that stop you. See if you can get a video of that car driving. For me the lower rotating mass helps the snappiness of the car too.

Hmmm…makes me wonder why my PCCBs make some noise and yours don’t. I’ve got plenty of life left in the pads and rotors. I will say, I do like the stopping power and the lack of dust. If I had to choose, I would definitely pick PCCB over steel. I think my problem is that I don’t believe that particular 2010 is worth $200k but then I also wonder if the 2011 is priced too high as well…

This car has has paintwork. It's also a very low option car with no PCM, just a regular radio. Was for sale for a while at Florida Performance Cars. It's a big pass and even bigger pass since it's at Grand Prix Motors. We don't buy from Grand Prix, EVERRRRRRR! Doug disclosed some history about this car in this thread POST #6027

Excapt for the destroyed driver's seat bolster this one look in good condition. Steering wheel, PCCB's are super shiny, aft wheel wells are still black and don't looks like they've been beaten with stones and pebbles. With all that said, not worth $200k.

Keep looking!

Thanks for that! I just looked at previous posts on the car. I’m still going to inquire about the car but it’s history does raise a few questions.

I did just notice the history, which isn’t great. Is Grand Prix no good?

I was trying to be too nice about Grand Prix by just saying to google the vin and look at the history in the post I linked. I’d agree with what the others said, I’d stay away from Grand Pri. Not saying they don’t get nice cars in from time to time, but I’d stay away from them on principal alone. When buying a 997 GT3, or any car, buying the seller is so important.

I live really close to the Millenia Motors one, practically down the street. If you need anyone to check it out, I'd be happy to help.

truekraut

I greatly appreciate the offer! I think it’s priced a bit high so I’m going to pass and keep an eye on the market to see what else pops up. Very kind of you though!

It's just an advertised price, and dealers set them artificially high anyway. If you like that one, go in and offer something more in line with reality. That car will sell closer to 160-170. E.g.: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...he-911-gt3-50/

True, prices can always be negotiated. Earlier this morning, I actually looked at the ended auction you posted and realized the spec of that car is closer to what I’m searching for, compared to the car at Millenia. I’ll continue to keep an eye out. Thanks!

Many cars don't sell for asking price, especially when they've been sitting on the lot for a while. This is something that no dealer ever wats to admit. They will always say, "We got our price".

Might be worth chiming in and throwing them an offer a few thousand under the amount that you'd feel comfortable paying for a certain car. Whatever you do, don't waste your time with Grand Prix.

I had another member enlighten me on Grand Prix and their business practices. I actually purchased my ‘09 TT from them in Feb of 2021 and, with the exception of needing to reinstall a few missing emissions parts of which I was unaware, the process was decent. But in light of what you and others on this forum have shared with me, I won’t be a repeat customer of theirs. Thanks!

Well those receipts take all the guess work we all had on how much a 4.1 would cost… that “might as well” list is nuts.

Will be curious to see how much premium it drives, my guess is less than the $110,000 he paid


btw this car would sell in 30 seconds if located in the US…
