Hi all

Thanks to lurking on this forum for the last few months, I'm pretty close to getting my hands on my first 911. I've seen close to exactly the car I want but it's right at the top of (well, slightly out of!) my budget so I need to be extra careful. It has relatively low miles but has already had a (recently fitted) clutch and flywheel replacement. Cosmetically it is in fantastic condition so it's been well looked after in this respect. It's been serviced at a main dealer prior to this which is good but my question is, given it may have had a less than 'sympathetic' driver operating it, is there anything else I should look out for that may have suffered as a result?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, you may be talking about my GT3 which is for sale at Cardiff OPC?
The car developed a leaking RMS which was sorted out under warranty whilst it was apart I thought it prudent to put a new clutch in her as all I had to do was pay for parts. Originally this car was bought as a long term keeper for me due to low miles and condition. Hence I thought with a new clutch I could rest assured for the length of my ownership.
The nice problem to change keeping the vehicle was I was offered a 991.2GT3 build slot which I happily accepted. Sadly how ever much I wanted to keep her I could not afford sadly to keep both.
If it is my car she's bob on hence why originally I was keeping her long term.
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave

Sadly not your GT3, it's a 997 C4s Manual Gen2.

Hi Andy, good luck with the 997 they're an awesome car. Hopefully there's a nice simple reason for the early clutch replacement.
Have fun
Dave
