The Porsche 911 GT3 is one of the automaker’s most sought-after track-focused models, so buying a brand-new one is supposed to be a dream scenario.

With GT3 allocations notoriously difficult to secure, most buyers would feel lucky just getting one at sticker price, never mind finding one with only 34 miles on the clock.

That’s exactly what one Florida buyer thought he was getting when he purchased a silver 2022 GT3 for nearly $282,000.

After taking delivery, he allegedly discovered his “new” Porsche may have had a far more complicated history than anyone disclosed.

The GT3 Was Sold As New With Just 34 Miles

According to court filings, Florida buyer Abdul Azizi purchased a silver 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 from Porsche Warrington for $281,940.

The car reportedly had just 34 miles on the odometer and was sold as brand-new.

That’s important because GT3 allocations are notoriously difficult to get, making low-mileage examples incredibly desirable.

Problems Started Shortly After Delivery

After the car arrived at Azizi’s home in Florida, he reportedly began noticing electrical issues.

He then took the GT3 to a Porsche-certified technician.

That’s when things allegedly got much worse.

According to the lawsuit, technicians discovered signs that the car had been taken apart and rebuilt in multiple areas.

The Window Sticker Raised Major Questions

The biggest red flag reportedly came from inside the glovebox.

Azizi allegedly found the original window sticker showing the words:

“PCNA CAR NOT FOR SALE.”

That label typically appears on vehicles owned by Porsche Cars North America for internal use.

These cars can serve as press vehicles, training cars for mechanics, or display vehicles before eventually being sold through internal auctions.

Lawsuit Followed

Azizi filed a lawsuit in Florida in late 2025 against both Porsche Cars North America and Sloane Automotive Group.

The lawsuit accused both parties of allegedly concealing the car’s history and misrepresenting it as new.

Claims included:

  • Fraudulent misrepresentation
  • Concealment
  • Civil conspiracy
  • Negligent misrepresentation
  • Consumer law violations

Porsche Already Bought The Car Back

Azizi reportedly won a Lemon Law arbitration claim.

Porsche agreed to repurchase the GT3.

However, the legal dispute reportedly continued because the buyer claimed he wasn’t fully reimbursed for finance costs and sales tax.

The Case Has Since Been Settled

According to reports, both Porsche Cars North America and Sloane Automotive Group eventually reached settlements with Azizi.

The case was officially terminated in March 2026.

We think the bigger takeaway here is that even exotic cars with delivery-mile odometers can have complicated histories long before they ever reach their first owner.
