Porsche Used Cars- The Beautiful 911

by: Sean Traynor

Porsche used cars like there 911 model is the one vehicle I think everyone thinks of when dreaming of the Porsche Brand. With so many other models born from the 911 brand, this article will take a look at these other cars (which are less famous than there older brother the Porsche 911) but still very sleek and really fast. When researching older Porsche 911�s from 2005, the turbo had a 480-horsepower twin turbo engine and this vehicle handle�s excellent in high speed performance situations.


Porsche 911 used cars:

Porsche decided that wanted to get a little flashier with its 911 brand so they introduced the 911 GT3. You will notice that most of these 911 GT3�s have loud paint jobs, meaning you see a lot of them in orange, bright yellows and lime green to mention a few. These also came in all-wheel drive and the glass roof was standard in the 911 GT3. The Porsche Motor Company realized that the GT3 wasn�t fast enough, so the following year they unveiled the GT2 and this now had a 530 horsepower, twin turbo engine. These Porsche 911 GT2�s also offered loud paint jobs.

Both the GT3 and the GT2 come with a six speed manual transmission, there is also an option to have the famous Tiptronic S which are paddle shifters you see in a Formula One race car.

I could only find one stat for the fuel economy of the Porsche 911 GT2. The GT2 has an 18.8-litre, per 100kms for city driving and 8.9-litre, per 100kms for highway driving. Not exactly your favourite green car to drive around in the city, but imagine most 911 GT2 owners couldn�t care less.

Let�s look at some pros and cons of the different 911 models:

1- It has been mentioned that are problems with the pistons.

2- There is an issue with anti flood system.

3- There are problems with the seals for the engine oil.

4- There have been complaints with the transmission not working properly when you change gears.

I could not find any reports on safety crash tests done on either the GT2 or GT3. The Porsche 911 family are very expensive cars even if you buy second hand; they seem to hold their value for a long time. They are also an expensive car to maintain so if you do decide to buy one used, don�t be shocked when the mechanic gives you the bill.
