Default 2015 GT3 - 135K...why 3 owners with low mileage?

I was looking at this car while getting my 981S being service...seems to have a lot of cosmetic upgrades but missing pccb...what is more interesting is that it only has 5K miles but has 3 prior owners (first owner did around 500 miles before handing it over to the dealer, the second one did only 200 miles in 2 whole years and then the 3rd one did around 4000 in 2 year lease)..do you theory behind it?

Not unusual, a lot of people that can afford these cars have multiple other cars and/or buy and sell frequently. I've seen cars with 10k miles have 5 previous owners. Engine covered for 120k anyway, don't think you have much to worry about as long as the car is clean. Getting it CPO'd would be a good idea.

The Porsche flip game is strong with that car.

Most wives don't like track cars and don't understand manly fascination with a loud exhaust and teeth rattling rides...

Oh no 3 owners on a 4 year old car. Must mean it's a deathtrap!

Sarcasm aside, I find number of owners only one part of the story, and a very minute one at that. Owner count is especially high for toy-status cars such as GT3 and other exotics. Buyers in this market are motivated by fun and it's fun to always be swapping toys.
