This Will Destroy The Value Of My Porsche GT3!

[@F41LZZz]

that is one hell of a clickbait title

[@Krauser1226]

Yeah I was wondering the whole video what happened to it mechanically that was going to tank the value only to find out the answer was "driving it".

[@Krauser1226]

@@spacewombat4569 oh I won't debate that. Adding miles to your car is always a great way to tank it's value regardless of brand. I just was expected something else given the title of the video, the car on a lift in the thumbnail, and knowing he's been saying for many many videos already that he plans to drive the car long-term and have it be a high mileage vehicle. Saying "this will destroy the value of my GT3!" in your video title implies heavily that something actually happened to it, hence clickbait. I mean, it worked though. I clicked it and watched the whole thing waiting for the thing that would "destroy his GT3's value" but hey, I watch all his videos regardless lol

[@Gavin-oq5tt]

Completely unnecessary title deserves and overall thumbs down.

@@rkwjunior2298 I think you'd be very surprised how much value these cars lose with added mileage. Most cars in this bracket and beyond are barely driven these days by the so called enthusiasts who buy them. Kudos to Mr JWW for actually wanting to use his car for what it was designed.

Damm I thought he was gonna do a full headers and exhaust vid. Nice clickbait title btw

[@Krauser1226]

Big leap from "doing regular maintenance" to "this will DESTROY the value of my Porsche GT3!" Props for the gymnastics done to reach that title. Love your videos but boy oh boy is the clickbait strong with this one...

[@MrJWW]

Pretty sure it’s going to lose at least 50% of the value...I’d say that’s destructive 😂

[@Krauser1226]

@@MrJWW oh no I don't disagree, I've got a Mk7 GTI I plan to drive into the ground. It's a 2015 with 93k miles on it so I'm real comfy with knowing the value hit it's taking given I'm treating it the same way you're treating this GT3 haha. I always watch your videos and know you always say you want to keep this car long-term and put a whole bunch of miles on it from your previous GT3 videos so when I saw this title on the video I assumed, as I think many others did, that something happened to it mechanically or otherwise that destroyed the vehicle value. I spent the whole video wondering what it was until it ended and I realized it was just the mileage to the vehicle, so kinda felt it was pretty clickbaity given that. But it's all good my dude I love your videos and enjoy all the vehicle content. I know it's a tough time to be making content at all so I'm not in any place to criticize the content, I just got pretty thrown off by the title choice in context lol

[@chriskim9289]

combustion engines will be phased out but motorsport culture and its history will always stay. there will always be a place to drive these small porches but probably confined to tracks and suburban areas.

[@geoff.graham]

Did I totally miss the description of the cost of the service? I originally watched the video about the "cost of running a GT3 20,000 miles" which said the costs would instead be covered in the video about the major service, so then I watched this one... but I'm not seeing it?

[@lastrasp]

Really like this concept of taking us along for the journey with this car. It’s a stunner. I’m planning the same thing with my 964. Documenting its journey and modifications (some of which I’m having to do a year or so after making the upgrades). Great vid as always.

[@yamen_aly]

You could ask on the next service to clean the throttle bodies they are very sensitive and make a hell of difference when cleaned in power, response and mpg(if you care about that).

[@lucascomputacao]

I love this car! The color, as it sounds, the fact that it is manual ... But hearing about your plans to keep it for your son makes me love it even more. I would like to do the same thing for my son/daughter someday. God keep blessing you, James!

[@avi614614]

You shouldn't have a joint leak at 23k miles that should be covered under warranty

[@stevebarden5595]

Does the warranty cover track day's?

[@jamespugh]

Definitely agree

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Lol...warranty? Seriously? Porsche will tell you that is normal wear and tear.

[@phillig8359]

Great vid as usual.... So what was the cost of the service and the CV Boot change??? Thanks...

[@mqandil]

Great video, my GT3 just passed 20k and is due soon for the big service. I am trading back my GT2 RS and after only 3K. That car never connected with me like this manual GT3 beast. There is no other car that puts that grin on my face like the GT3 with manual transmission. Let’s see who gets to 100K first. I forgot to mention in your previous video, I too had an issue with parking brake, as I get the error message occasionally but there was nothing wrong. It turned out that the parking brakes needed to be adjusted, and message is gone now. Keep up the great work and as usual and as always, I love your videos. Mark Qandil

[@MrJWW]

Brilliant, congrats on the GT2 but I also understand your reasoning for switching back - it only stunned me on the track and not so much on the road. The big service on the GT3 definitely felt like a nice refresh - great to know it’s being looked after!

[@mqandil]

Mr JWW Thanks buddy. I am Porsche die hard, and I have 9 Porsche’s in my stable. I bought the GT2 RS six months after after I got both my GT3 & GT3 RS, and aside from enjoying that GT2 on occasional track days and it does stun you with how it beats everyone else, but you stop feeling special after first track event and aside from that it has been a boring car, so it is being sold back to local Porsche dealer and instead I ordered the New GT4 with manual transmission for myself and also GT4 with PDK for my son who races with me. Again love your videos. Too many car guys on KZbin and all copying from one another except you, always coming with authentic materials and all from the heart....Keep up the great work.

Last video “ I will share all the details of costs when it has its major service “ @jww 🤔

[@ssdmcleod]

With all your connections it might be worth giving those good dealers a shout out, good dealers are like gold dust, but when you find one it’s bliss.

[@jamest5149]

You will feel the effect of an oil change as it effects the valve timing and free Erving nature. A tip, don’t let your PCCB pads wear down past halfway, you risk damage to your discs as they start to wear and fail exponentially after the halfway point, it’s well known especially on tracked cars.

[@simonbussey7530]

Right. 1) They dismissed the disc scoring. Fit new pads and get identical scoring on each side. Clearly not a stone or the old pads. 2) The CV boot should be covered under warranty. 3) Those corroded up tail tips should be swapped out under warranty too (mine were), the black ones are well known to corrode like that.

[@DarrenJMHughes]

I really do hope you keep this GT3 to at least 100K and pass it down to your son, I am sure if will be over the moon and it will probably be one of the best presents he will have. I am also pleased that you are going to keep the GT3 standard, just as Porsche intended. We all will look forward to its journey. Ciao.

[@brianiswrong]

I was lucky enough to look over aGT3RS at a car dealer in Newark. Never sat in one,or drove one as Iam 6 ft 5" and 17 stone,but I was surprised how big the discs and calipers are and how horrible the plastic body parts are (just a flat black) now maybe a detail would have helped,but it opened my eyes as to why people shell out serious££££ for exterior carbon.

[@99skychief]

Great video, in your last video, Jul 12, 2020, you were going to share the cost of running your Porsche when it was soon to be serviced. Can you now share the cost and also when you bought the GT3, how many miles were already on the car....this will help us know the cost of running such a beautiful Porsche, thank you.

[@STiPowered]

The double gear down to finish the video is excellent.

[@ericmed]

Wish they had this much attention to detail at most US dealers. The folks in Germany would be disgusted at how few people care about their work. Enthusiast shops are pretty much the norm for us.

Was the rear undertray on your GT3 dented? Mine was but the service advisor was a very straight shooter and said it wasn’t necessary to replace it thankfully as it isn’t a cheap part 👍

[@CarToneHK]

Everytime after an oil change and a clean on the K&N air filters, the car does feel ever so slightly more responsive

[@user81925]
