hi would anyone have any information on this car a 2014 black 991.1 gt3 with 20k miles reasonably priced at Zero automotive in harrogate (very near redline specialist cars, possibly linked ?) as its been for sale for nearly three months and notes porsche main dealer service. I've not been to have a look but was planning a trip out (and then into the motorist for a coffee as I've never been) https://zeroautomotive.co.uk/2024/10/black-porsche...
it does note that in addition to what normally comes with the car as having bi xenon lighting but pictures show led's which always makes me wonder that they dont as much about the car but maybe just a typo no note of the G6 engine swap which would have been good
any help or advice would be most appreciated
thanks

If it looks alright, get it inspected by an independent, if you agree on price, buy it and put a Porsche warranty on it.

Mine is pretty much identical, and has needed nothing over my 5 year ownership (outside service and tyres). I’ve done about 3k miles a year on road trips, you can drive them hard, no issues IME.

I can guarantee you they will not allow that. Keep us posted.

thanks for the replies and the gazette strike has been removed so thats good and porsche say you have to be in ownership of the car for 3 months before you can 'apply' for a warranty subject of course to their 111,000 point check !! and then if all good or matters corrected with genuinely expensive opc parts then a warranty can be applied

and lastly any suggestions for a good inspector i did find nick giles who had good reviews on ph but any other suggestions would be appreciated thanks

Increase your budget slightly and go to a reputable dealer. Save yourself the heartache and hassle. After you've paid for the inspection and a warranty how much are you really saving?

Redline and Bramble have 2 great examples.....for an additional 5k. If you cant even submit returns on time, how good are you are choosing stock and prepping your cars??
