No one single 997.2 GT3 has had RMS issues...
90% of the 997.1 GT3's that had that issue were no driven much. Those people that say that they drove the car and it still happened, don't know that only driving the car 1-2 times per week doesn't qualify as regularly driving the car....
10%-15% of the total 997.1 GT3, at the most, might have had RMS issues. And most were garage queens... Those little spots of oil don't hinder the cars performance or reliability in any way shape or form. It came with the territory, like the small cloud of smoke during cold starts, from time to time... its part of the design.
That cleared a lot of stuff. Thanks for the input man!



H Bomb,
I was also looking into a used 997.2 GT3 in the next year or so. It was always a dream of mine to own and drive a GT3 of my own.

^^That is used for the 997.2 GT3 right?^^ All I could say is wow! That's a very big difference in price for sure.

Is that price after a year for the 997.2 GT3? That's still very expensive for me. I would have to wait for 2 years or even 3 before getting a used 997.2 GT3 then. I know there are some low-mileage 997.1 GT3's out there that go up to 90K. However, there are some 997.1 GT3's that are still in good condition that sell for $70K.

I'm really leaning towards a used 997.2 GT3 now after reading your review.

That's a nice GT3 you have there man. My fav color as well!


JMD0977,
I was also looking into a used 997.1 TT 6 speed, but after reading your review on the 997.2 GT3 really makes it seems like it is worth it to get a used 997.2 GT3 instead of a used 997.1 TT 6 speed (Even though it's modified).
