They say you always remember your first Porsche 911, but for one Florida-based car enthusiast, his first 911 GT3 just might be one he’d rather forget in a hurry. Abdul Azizi purchased a 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 from Porsche Warrington, a dealership in Pennsylvania. He paid $281,940 for a car showing just 34 miles on the odometer, with the dealership claiming that it had only ever been used for display and marketing purposes. That story started unraveling almost immediately.
The day after the GT3 arrived at his Florida home, he found the original window sticker tucked inside the glove compartment, with the words “PCNA CAR NOT FOR SALE” on it, according to a report by Automotive News. That designation is used by Porsche Cars North America for internal fleet vehicles, the kind that get assigned to press programs, training facilities, and other corporate purposes. None of that had been mentioned at any point during the sale.
Things got worse from there. The car developed serious electrical problems, and when Azizi brought it to a Porsche-certified technician, he was told the vehicle showed signs of prior work consistent with use as a training car. A second technician at a different service center found that part of the undercarriage had been removed and put back together incorrectly.
The complaint alleges the car was used for roughly a year at a training school for novice mechanics, during which it was repeatedly disassembled and reassembled. That is a very different reality from the “display vehicle” story he was given before buying the car. Azizi’s attorney is seeking damages for fraudulent inducement, misrepresentation, concealment, civil conspiracy, and consumer law violations. He already won a Lemon Law arbitration ordering Porsche to buy the car back, but is appealing the result because the award left out finance charges and sales tax. Porsche and the dealership have declined to comment. Meanwhile, Azizi has not driven his dream car since early 2025, but at least he got a drive in before the nightmare experience began.
