looking a buying a 997.1 gt3 in the next month...saw that most have 5-15k miles...as i know many dont daily drive them.

but i am looking at a couple with 25-28k miles. do you think this is too many? what should i pay for 1 with this many miles?

also anyone have any input in buying one with ccb's? i would prefer steel but 1 i like has ccb's. can i sell them or trade someone with steel brakes?
i hear the ccb are expensive if they have issues.. I hear of rotors cracking and i know a set is around 10k!

Looking at car below - what do you think???????

Wouldnt worry too much about the miles.
I bought a 997 GT3mk2 and i already have 3000 miles after 2 weeks.

These cars are made to be driven, not to be garage queened. Never understood ppl that pay these amounts of money to only do 1000 miles / year. Do they just drive up and down their street every month or so?

 

A GT3 with high miles is a happy car and an even happier owner. No such thing as too many miles in my book. I had Sharkwerks do a 3.9 conversion on my GT3 at 37K and the inners looked pretty damn good when torn down!!

 

They're stout motors and transmissions. As long as she's been cared for you see 996 GT3's with 50-60K miles on them that drive/run like a champ

 

any opinions on the car i listed above???

 

Well I like the PCCB option, yellow belts etc... so it's good there. Not really liking the wheels on there tho

 

I would have a PPI done on it and have them really check the brakes. I do not care for the wheels at all.

 

+1 but the good thing is that if they are genuine techart wheels that you could prob trade with someone for stockers and a few k cash. That would help make it even less expensive.

 

whats a PPI? and what do you guys think of the price?

 

Pre purchase inspection. Costs a $200-$400 average. Dealers only check mechanical stuff. Find a Porsche specialist in your area that can do a more thorough inspection (body/suspension/etc), it'd still be less $ than a dealer's and offer much more. Autotalent can do the PPI for you.

 

These are white ones, but better price/mileage/specs IMO:

2007, 6K miles, PCCB, leather + stiching= $6K more than the one you posted:

2007, 19K miles, PCCB currently at $60K auction, should not be to far from reserve:

There was a Meteor Gray one with approximately the same miles that was listed at $71K, but it was a no name dealer. It is not a great deal, but for around $70K it would be very good. I was actually looking at this one today as well.

 

I would bet that the second one has a reserve close to $90K. Porsche dealers are way high on these cars right now.

 

if they have records and been maintained well, not a problem.

 

As has been said they are well built and so long as well maintained mileage will not be a problem
