I heard if you track it though you have wheel bearing maintenance and it’s expensive I have a 2014 911 S not the same front end and years is way more race focused I wish I had axle lift. Enjoy the beast
Thanks 👊, I have not heard of the wheel bearing maintenance, I track it along with a few friends that do the same with their 991 GT3's, no wheel bearing issues or concerns
@@nicholasdrago7138 nope, just started it up and straight to redline and it blew up 😆. Yes of course it was, I'm not a rookie, been building and racing cars for 30 years.
@@shaneshow_very informative vid, thank you. However, your comment here is not accurate, as the motors starting with G are free of the aforementioned issues.
Nice 991.1 GT3...the 10yr Engine warranty is up end of this year. Are you worried at all? Heard it will cost over $70K to replace the engine. Why don't Porsche take full responsibility and change all the 991.1 GT3 engine they messed up on and replace it with a G6 Engine!! Seeing more and more GT3 selling because of this scary expensive fix.
@@lapchoine6600 thank you, and mine was already replaced with the G6 in 2018 before I bought it. Only have 17k miles on it now. I'm not worried one bit. I have the invoice and it cost just over 50k to replace in 2018. Porsche did replace the first almost 1000 off the line 991.1 GT3 with E engines. Then E1 engines had the finger follower issue.
@@shaneshow_ Yeah I seen the ones that had no engine replacement selling for just under $100K. I bet early next year that price might even drop some more since there is till 4 months of warranty left before year end. Will be interesting to see what happens in the GT3 market.
@@shaneshow_ A friend of mine offered me a blue 991.1 2014 GT3 with 15k miles on the odometer The condition of the car is 10/10 But he’s asking for 106k Do you recommend it ? And what about the price is it a good deal ? Thanks in advance
@@user-ju2py8xl8z For that price I am assuming that the motor has not been replaced, if it has, the engine code will start with a G. If it is an E or F it has not been. There is a long article about it on rennlist if you search on that forum. The low miles and condition sound enticing for that price but on the E1 and F series motors they typically don't missfire (which causes complete engine replacement) until 25-40k miles depending on how the car is driven. Seeing as how for the 2014 the 10 year warranty has expired you will see a price difference between the two. The motor is about a 50k out of pocket cost all said and done. In my opinion and for myself I would not buy a 991.1 unless it has the G6 motor.
@@shaneshow_ the engine has been replaced with the first owner without problems ( as he says ) , he said the dealer called him two months after he bought the car brand new and they told him his eligible for engine change and there is a problem with his engine . I asked him if he knew what engine was it ( e,F,G ) he couldn’t figure out how to know, the bigger problem we asked the dealership and they also don’t know .
@@shaneshow_ moreover my dealer offers a yearly warranty for 3K ,, so I’m considering buying the car with warranty and F*** it if anything happens to the engine its their responsibility to fix it
You should have documentation, if you don't you could call the dealership, give them your vin# and they should be able to tell you. You could also pull the undertray and see the code stamped on the block, it's easy to see
GT3's are a blast. Enjoy it! I daily drive my 2014! 23k miles so far!
Yes they are! And thank you I am loving it! Thats awesome you daily yours! Thanks for watching 👊
Have you replaced ur engine yet?

Thank you, very helpful, Shane.

Thanks, some did, safe to say all 991.1's are at risk

There will be a large price gap of replaced and non replaced in the next year after all the warranties expire.

What's the best way to find out if the motor was replaced and when?
You should have documentation, if you don't you could call the dealership, give them your vin# and they should be able to tell you. You could also pull the undertray and see the code stamped on the block, it's easy to see
You're looking for an engine with a G6xxxxx code. All G6 are sorted, personally I'd avoid any thing other than this.
@@aceventura7097 agreed!
⌚ sell that carp get the newer one with better engine
@@basketball798 dont need to, my car has the better engine, replaced in late 2018.
Reading too many forums vs actually owning one
