I have been dailying mine since I got it back from the engine swap program in August of 14' about to hit 28,000 miles. About to do the 2nd set of plugs, and third set of tires with a few track days in between. The car has been absolutely stunning.

Good for you. You must be one of the highest amount of miles put on any 991 GT3.

This applies even more to those of us who are happily married, so if you have no plans to sell the car, your decision should be even clearer.

10 months old and 12K miles, just dropped her off for the "interim" service! I drive her daily and been on 5 track events since taking ownership. A GT3 is meant to be driven not parked in a garage. I plan to drive the car until I'm dead and then maybe I'll be buried with the car... it's that awesome.

Don't have a 991-3, but we've driven our 6-3 as a DD since we got it.
Bought it 5 years this coming March with 16k miles
Just tripped 83k last night. Last year or so have been slow on the miles since wife and I both worked from home, but our new contracts have us back in offices much of the week now, so more miles on the 3.
SHE usually takes it - goes to whoever leaves first in the morning!!
For reference, our 993 we bought with 50k on it, sold with over 200k...
Cars are meant to be driven. If you want to look at them in the garage, take a nice picture, hang it on the wall, and sell the car to someone that would appreciate it the way it was meant to be appreciated...
Oh...and I've been offered more than I paid for it, so....
