It certainly used to be a good car, I had it from new for 3 years I think.

I certainly wouldn’t trust the dealer but might still be a good car. Just have a PPI.

£199 admin fees on a £80k car is a joke though!

I walk when I'm see that. Complete con.

I believe it was also sold a few years ago by Porsche Bristol.

Is it EJ07 YSY?

I'm not sure if it had that number, I had a private one on from new.

It’s a Cat D run a mile, be lucky if it’s worth 45k in the real world.

Be fun getting that inspected 🤣

Looks like there’s another red one coming soon. Rusty cills though, perhaps from track use?

SERVICE HISTORY said:

In August 2022, £10,682 was spent at Porsche Centre Cambridge to replace both the front and rear brake discs and pads, fitting a new alternator plus pulleys and belts, and replacing the radiator.

Looks a nice car with a lovely spec (buckets& no cage). Some of the questions though- how many sets of tyres have you used? lol

Isn’t this the car which is a damaged repaired car, ended up in auction.

It’s the auto trader car linked above. Not sure about auction.

So in the ten pages or so since I subscribed to this thread, the two cars I was looking at both had "history" and then several others that have been mentioned on here have too. Can't be many 997 GT3's that haven't been smashed up it seems! :lol:

Thers a 3 time wrecked 996 GT3 that is still selling well in excess of that figure, so no idea where you get 45k from

Some people really are wishful thinkers.

As I said on another forum, there are plenty of these cars that have probably had much worse damage than this one that are not recorded... CAT D wouldn't put me off a GT3 if it was minor damage (which it likely is being CAT D...) and a thorough inspection was conducted. At least it shows its history with a badge of honour

[MarkM3Evoplus]

So did SCD buy it as a Cat D or did they crash & repair it?

[thegreenhell]

There are a few red flags on the Autotrader advert linked above.

• it states 'Balance of Porsche Extended Warranty and Assistance until March 2021' - that's no good in November 2022.
• it states 8 services in the book, which is the same number it had when SCD bought it three years ago, which would mean it hasn't been serviced for three years.
• it says private sale, but also 'Link to this vehicle on our website'.

It all smells a bit fishy.

I agree, if PPI goes well. In fact, you then have a car that if you crash it again on track the value doesn't tank because it's already a Cat D. I think I'd push it harder = more fun! Also cheaper to insure for track days

Although mine was a Cat C and then I added a Cat S. So I win right?
