Shopping and was told be an out of state dealer that all 2014 GT3s have
branded titles???? I thought only the early ones needing the engine
change did? Didn't the later ones have clean engines?

No ALL 2014's are not branded titles.
The ones that do are the ones that were bought back by Porsche and then resold to dealers via the dealer auction and then were/are being sold with branded titles.
I know of many 2014's which are titled as normal.

 

My 2014 was in production when the stop sale was issued. The car had the old engine in it. It received the new engine in July and has the July date of manufacture sticker on the door jam. New unbranded title.

 

Wow this is very good to know, I'm considering a GT3

 

Same here

 

There are only 20 known branded titles.

 

Are dealers really getting original msrp or above for used cars with this
issue?

 

What is a branded title? Does that mean it is shown as previously titled to Porsche?

 

Many different types of "brands", these were under the buy back/lemon
section. Some owners kept their cars after the engines were replaced
but the law requires Porsche offer to buy it back.

My concern is if it will affect future trade in values or loan underwriting
or insurance. Haven't looked into the last 2.

 

I don't know how it would affect trade values, but a buy back branded title has no affect on loan or insurance.

 

if i had a branded title 991 i would sell it back to Porsche and get the new rs! consider it a free lease

 

How do you do that? One I am looking at seems to have 2 owners that
did exactly that.

 

Here's an example of one with a branded title
