Crying out for someone, the engine will probably JUST be run in by now. Want to sound the best and in my opinion give the best passenger rides at the next OCUK RR event, get your monies out then and be brave....very brave!

179K lol, just alittle run in yeah!

Westyfield2 · 2 Sep 2011 at 16:06

Go on whoever's brave enough!

Would an OPC put a warranty on that or is there a 100k mileage limit?

peterattheboro · 2 Sep 2011 at 16:10

Infact no I won't

Nope

I actually don't think the risk is that huge if it's been well maintained, which I suspect it has been. The 996 GT3 engine is known for its total reliability and incredible build and I would be astonished if put on a rolling road it didn't still show the correct horses.

Shame the running costs are "more than we can afford, pal".

Ceramic brakes? Few grands worth there no doubt.

One day, one day!

125k limit I think

chaparral · 2 Sep 2011 at 16:50

How much did these cars cost brand new ??

(I guess somewhere around 60k)

sigma · 2 Sep 2011 at 16:51

Probably double lol.

Edit - that's the GT3RS I'm thinking of.

£80k according to this: http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/RoadTestsHistory/Porsche-911-3.6-GT3/224096/

996 GT3 Mk1, I think the 996 GT3 Mk2 was slightly less expensive due to it not being hand built.

Gibbo · 2 Sep 2011 at 17:14

Hi there

Still on original ceremic brakes.

That tells me one thing, its had a gentle life, not track use, probably a daily commuter and with someone who sits on the motorway.

So its probably in no worse condition than say a 60-80k mileage car, which probably makes it quite a good buy.

Would I buy it no, would I buy it if I had an easy 30k spare, then yes I would and I would completely strip it out and turn it into a dedicated track car.

Yes

All of the below are Porsche 911s

The 996 / 997 is an internal number used by porsche to designate the generation. Like BMW and the e46 / e92 BMW 3 series.

thats a Porsche 911 GT3, but the 997 Gen 1 model. The one in the OP is a 996 GT3 Mk 2.

Locky · 2 Sep 2011 at 17:40

To be honest, I have seen cars with massive mileage on them in far far better nick than low mileage cars, having said that, I have also seen some very ropey high mileage cars.

Really depends on how it's been locked after.

Yeah, I know now, already been corrected.

Too much awesomeness to worry about numbers.
