Tips Posted 12March, 2021 Report Share Posted 12March, 2021 Have heard from a couple of people that manual is not being generally offered for 2.2 not sure how true. Porsche apparently offered some special orders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHC Posted 13March, 2021 Report Share Posted 13March, 2021 Another question is how much does it cost to keep/extend the warranty each year on this model, 1.5-2k? Also how much on average should one put aside for servicing at Porsche each year, also about 1.5-2k? I know sometimes the car may require pads or rotors (will try to stay away from PCCB due to cost and I actually like the look of the red calipers), spark plugs etc. What would be the average per year over 5-10 years only doing say 5k kms a year? I know this is kind of like how long is a piece of sting but perhaps you could all humor me 😁 I'm probably capable of doing it myself or even having it done through another Porsche specialist workshop but I think this would probably negatively affect the value of the vehicle when it is sold one day? and probably void the warranty? How about when it comes time to replace the tyres, do you guys generally get them through Porsche given the car has a center lock wheel nut and might be a pain to get them elsewhere? Sorry for all the questions, I can get the money together to buy the car but the ongoing costs are a bit unknown to me and there will be a limit where I may have to decide I'm simply too poor to own the car year on year over the decade or so I'd like to own it.

MHC Posted 13March, 2021 Report Share Posted 13March, 2021 Never mind about the warranty and servicing costs, I have found the relevant information on the Porsche website funnily enough 🧐 They seem reasonable enough really. DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCCB are excellent for road driving, I'd only avoid if you planned on the car doing more track km than road km. Driven on the road you'd get about 30,000km out of a set of rotors/pads, maybe more depending upon your driving style. Plugs are done on a time/km basis. 3)If you want to have the Porsche extended warrantly then only a OPC can do the service work. If you want to save some money, buy the parts from the likes of sonnenporscheoemparts.com and supply them with the car when it goes in for a service. I also buy my own Mobil 1 oil from https://www.ebay.com.au/str/gllubricants?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=705-53470-19255-0&campid=5336728181&customid=&toolid=10001 and supply that too. It is much cheaper than the OPC. 4) I bought a Snap on 3/4" rachet and handle the same as this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Snap-On-Tools-Huge-3-4-Dr-Ratchet-Head-L872-And-Handle-L872RM-Heavy-Duty-40/193921296884?epid=1222698172&hash=item2d269c29f4:g:DSQAAOSwDSBgOTWj I also bought a CAT tools 3/4" torque wrench, here is the Snap On equivalent: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/goodna/hand-tools/snap-on-3-4-inch-drive-torque-wrench-443547/1267200136 But you can buy different brands, search Gumtree, here is another good one: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/bassendean/mechanics-garages/tengtools-torque-wrench/1269765278 If you buy a used torque wrench, get its callibration checked so you know its true accuracy, you'll need to google in your local area. Watch the few Youtube videos like this Buy some Castol Optimoly grease part number 00004330508 from your dealer as you will need to regrease the nuts everytime you remove them or at least annually. There is a special precedure for this which is the same as the 997, see the attached. (Tip buy mechanics gloves for the regrease, the Optimoly stick to everything and is super hard to clean off). Also buy yourself one of these, they are really handy and a 100% must if you have PCCB. https://www.rennline.com/Centerlock-Wheel-Alignment-Tool/productinfo/T06/ After this you are good to go.

NBTBRV8 Posted 14March, 2021 Report Share Posted 14March, 2021 It looks like this one (ex Lamborghini Brisbane) is back on the market, now in Perth. $30k more than it was last advertised for? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2015-porsche-911-gt3-991-auto-my15/SSE-AD-6998629/?Cr=6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 15March, 2021 Report Share Posted 15March, 2021 Arrived. Washed. Inspected. Driven.

70RTY Posted 27March, 2021 Report Share Posted 27March, 2021 Hi all, I’m in the market for a 991.1 GT3. Must be Clubsport and be eligible for Porsche extended warranty. Prefer white. I can transact immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBTBRV8 Posted 30March, 2021 Report Share Posted 30March, 2021 Probably too early yet to start a 992 GT3 market watch thread, but the pricing gets released here tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how much of a jump in price and eventually how many 991.2s hit the market in the last quarter of this year.

Based on current trends you could easily assume that Porsche have been inundated with expressions of interest in the 992GT3. Pricing looks like a 25-28k bump on the 991.2. + for those in Vic the stamp duty bump of 15k or so over other states (great to see level playing fields in Australia how does this occur??) For those interested Government taxes on a new GT3 look like this( Approx) LCT $75,000 GST $28,000 Stamp duty (vic) $32,000 Total $135,000 DJM and GTP911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
