The Lawsuit Sues The ‘New’ Porsche 911 Was Already Split By Experts

When you spend nearly $282,000 on a new Porsche 911 GT3 — one of the most desirable sports cars the German automaker makes — you can expect it to be essentially new. But Abdul Azizi, a long-time fan of Florida-based Porsche, says that wasn’t the case for him. Now, he is suing both Porsche Cars of North America and Porsche Warrington, a Pennsylvania dealership. Azizi took home a 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 with only 34 kilometers on the odometer. Although the exact date of delivery is unclear, it is reported that the staff at the location told him that the car had been used for advertising and marketing, which made it brand new. But there were warning signs from the start.

Before buying the car, Azizi asked for a window sticker, but the salesman told him that there was none. All he got was a build sheet with GT3 specifications. Then, literally a day after the GT3 showed up at his home in Florida, he found the original sticker plastered inside the glove compartment. Printed across it in large red letters were the words “PCNA CAR NOT FOR SALE.” That’s the name Porsche uses for its in-house fleet, usually for training and other business purposes.

Now, PCNA cars are generally known to be well maintained, but this GT3 had not been maintained, and it wasn’t long before it started showing electrical faults. Azizi brought it to a certified Porsche technician, and according to the lawsuit, the technician found clear evidence that the car had already been operated in ways consistent with a car used for hands-on training. A second technician at a different Porsche center reportedly noted that part of the undercarriage had been removed and reassembled incorrectly.

So what really happened to this car before Azizi bought it? According to the complaint, first reported by Automotive News, which was filed in February in Seminole County Circuit Court, Porsche had previously excluded the GT3 from its Technology Apprenticeship program. Apprentices are said to have used it to train for the job during the year, splitting it up and combining it as part of their studies. That would explain everything that Azizi and those experts found.

Despite many repair attempts, no one can fix the GT3. According to this case, it has been out of control for about a year, and Azizi says that he has not continued to pursue this matter since the beginning of 2025. He was able to win a Lemon lawsuit that ordered Porsche to buy back the GT3, but the company countered, saying the arbitration award excluded sales tax costs. So he’s stuck with a car he can’t use while the whole legal process plays out.

His attorney, Jacob Abrams, said the lawsuit seeks damages for fraudulent solicitation, perjury, concealment, conspiracy and consumer violations. Automotive News reports that a Porsche spokesperson declined to comment on this, as did the general manager of the location. There are several reasons you can sue a car dealer for fraud, and hiding the car’s history is one of them. All in all, this whole situation is a good reminder to always insist on looking at the window sticker before buying a new car, especially one that costs as much as a house in some parts of the country.
