Folks opinions needed. Came across a high mileage 1 owner 50+K '08 Porsche GT3 for a decent price <$70K. Is it a good buy? PCCB & Clean carfax!

 

I am newbie here - so you can take my opinions with a grain of salt!

IMO a high mile Porsche should be fine. A 50K mile car is nicely broken in. The fact that this is one of the great motors and that it is a relatively simple car electronics wise, it should last for 200k miles providing it is serviced right.

Price wise, I think it is priced a bit high - you can get a mechanically similar 2007 GT3 for few miles for under 70K.

I assume you are aware that PCCB will be expensive to replace pads/rotors in future.

Good luck!

 

50k? The most I'd pay for that is 60k. You can get 07's with under 30k for 70.

 

Guys thanks for the feedback. Where is a good place to hunt for a reasonably priced GT3? Any Internet sites?

 

This site! Happy hunting.

 

I agree on $60K or less. PPI is mandatory - doesn't sound like the car was tracked for all of those miles because it's only three years old, but I would want full history on the car.

 

Hey I been looking for GT3 < 70K all weekend....where have they evaporated!!

 

where? thanks

 

+1

i haven't really seen anything online, unless he is accounting for the difference between the asking price and the offering price...

 

Are there any low mileage GT3s at sub 70k range? PM me!

 

there were a couple over the past few months that were 72k or so asking. I'm sure they sold for 70. There was one on rennlist recently that was 69k for 30k miles...there was also one on teamspeed that was going for 73k for 25k miles. Again, I'm sure he'd have come down to 70. Not many people are firm on their initial asking price.

 

this one has been in a couple accidents, who knows how bad.

they've been trying to sell it forever and the price keeps coming down. if the accidents were purely cosmetic, I'm sure you could get this for under 70.

 

yeah there are several with accidents on the net ......
between accident vs. high mileage I would opt for the latter unless the accident is clearly documented somewhere as cosmetic.

 

Anyone knows this car? Is this something worth considering?

Don't know the car, but if a PPI and DME check out OK, and the history is all there, then it's worth looking at. I would pay less than what they are asking, however. If you want a lower cost entree into a track car, this could be it.
