997.1 GT3 PPI - Any concerns with this PPI? Front tires need replacing but do these pad measurements seem good. What’s the replacement threshold according to Porsche. Anything else concerning? Not a fan of dealership PPIs but it was the best I could get.

All looks like standard stuff. Coils were updated, so I would just make sure that you order the new style when you have them done. Everything else is pretty standard stuff. Any other details besides what they provided in that screenshot?

As far as tires, Porsche CPO requires less than 4mm on any tires or 50% on high performance tires, so GT3 would be included in the 50%. 6 years is the max age.

The other items, if interested, I could get you part prices on as I just had a lot of this stuff done on my car, but I would recommend doing it at an independent shop to save some money.

Any other info on the car? Mileage?

Pads are fine. CPO guidelines from Porsche say 50% or less requires replacement. Most pads will be 10-12mm new, so you have quite a bit more than 50% remaining.

Sounds like a good car and with one owner you should have access to all of the records.

Other questions you can ask are whether or not the lines are pinned, I wouldn't be concerned if there is a slightly rear main seal leak, I would have detailed photos of the paint, if you're not going to inspect in person.

Keep us posted if you have questions along the way, we're more than happy to help!

So all 997.1 GT3 in US had a sunroof, but not in the RoW. I wonder why.

This is such a wild card... Is this wrap hiding something or is it pristine underneath?
