sleazius Posted 24September, 2022 Report Share Posted 24September, 2022 My 991.2 GT3 has zero rattles. It was one of the things I was surprised about given how many unwanted noises emanate from the 996s and 997s I've been in. I know I'm on the extreme side of things, but I've sold cars over plastic squeaking noises before, can't stand it on the road. Instantly makes me annoyed.

WGA Posted 24September, 2022 Report Share Posted 24September, 2022 1 hour ago, DJM said: I asked our Porsche factory tour guide about how quality is managed. The production line is one way, non stop, no ability to pull a car out or stop. Every work station on the line gets 2 min 48 seconds to complete their task. So what happens if there is a quality issue or a job is not completed in the allotted time…..? He paused and then smirked and said, we don’t have quality issues here. He went on to explain all the checks and balances, final QA check on every car and 1% of all cars gets a test drive. But as with any process, there must be exceptions and I didn’t get a serious answer about how they are dealt with. No doubt they focus a lot on quality but it is very much a partially automated production line that waits for nobody. Better or worse than the old days of hand built cars? Not sure. given it’s a shared production line I’d expect whatever gremlins exist with 911 would also apply to 718. They build 300 a day (& 200 Taycan on a separate more modern, more automated line). I should probably point my finger at design quality rather than build quality. i have a 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 that was built on the same production line at roughly the same time as my 992. it has zero rattles, whereas my 992 touring squeaks and rattles it’s way down the road. I put that down to design. DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have had a few drinks that day when assembling your touring DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS 3 Posted 13October, 2022 Report Share Posted 13October, 2022 This is a really balanced comparison from an experienced campaigner. I found myself relating to his comments when talking about the 992 GT3. Probably the most unbiased comparison I have heard to date.

sleazius Posted 13October, 2022 Report Share Posted 13October, 2022 Speaking of which, anyone else notice how many 992 GT3s are for sale right now? Went from 0-100 very quickly.

cafe_racer Posted 13October, 2022 Report Share Posted 13October, 2022 Internet rates and timing, I’d say a lot of the first delivered cars are finally at the point people can flip them without porsche black balling them for future purchases.

Until very recently there were 0 or 1. We're only at the very very start of this. My tradie mates who work for themselves are starting to feel the pinch (builders suddenly not paying). 600k+ is pie in the sky, but they'll come down quickly. Another market I've been watching is GTS R HSVs. Very few listed and now a dozen plus, most with a couple hundred kms on them. Just biding my time over here. Should be interesting in 12 months if the RBA stays the course. 56 minutes ago, DM911 said: I wish people start advertising 991.2s instead. 😉 Not this little black duck 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed . 997s 996 were no different. 0 for sale then market flooded . People just trying to cash in at the tail end of the bubble . Not going to happen now .

To be fair I've given up chasing, the "answers" that I get just annoy me and cause me to post rants here (or in person) that no-one wants to read/hear I also bought 3 hoists yesterday due to a lack of space which tells me it might be time to reconsider my priorities - or at least sell some cars.

Cheers mate - I'm currently trying to avoid calling (for the minute) cause they've got a white Spyder (possibly on consignment) that is calling my name . Last thing I need is to show up at the house with another car when I promised the boss I'd sell 2 as our drive looks like a car yard currently. Emira arrives in Feb too.
