White .2 PDK GT3 with 9500 miles. Steel brakes, FAL, buckets, and CPO through October 2023. $157k original MSRP. Asking price is $150k. Price, lack of photos and info makes it seem like a scam. Plus, seller’s username doesn’t fill me with much confidence in this car’s history lol.
I’m gonna guess that car has been tracked heavily, but who knows. The build sheet looks a bit odd too.
The seller has posted on RL a fair bit though, so may not be a scam.
assuming its appropriately maintained, why does having track time devalue a car when its meant to be driven on the track? I am so confused and I am also not sure why the build sheet looks odd to you?

A heavily tracked bone stock car typically sells for less. Right or wrong, it’s a fact of the market. That ad leaves a lot of basic stuff out (pics, ownership history, usage, etc.). So it’s a valid question. It also could explain why he started at the price he did.
The build sheet just looks a bit odd to me in color/presentation, like it’s a printout. Also, is there usually a question mark after’Bose’ on a build sheet? Probably nothing, just looks odd.

for the same reason a new racecar is worth more than a used racecar

Kind of depends how it was driven on the track... A few DE sessions loping around the track at a semi-fast clip isn't much different than the street miles.
But hours/miles in more aggressive track sessions (say with track tires and race pads) is much higher ratio in terms of vehicle 'wear' vs street miles. Bushings, suspension components, rotors, and to some extent transmission/engine/clutch.
Also a far greater chance of a money shift on a manual or undisclosed body or paint work with no carfax entry. Or carpets cut/floors drilled for a cage. Or ??? Overall, much more due diligence needed...
Would I buy a car that was heavily tracked? Sure... But not for the same price as one that did nothing but roll back and forth to cars and coffees.

You see no difference in a car that's been flogged around a track for a few thousand miles versus one that has only been driven on the street? I just picked up a CPO 2015 GT3 with a little over 9000 miles. It has original pads, original tires which showed little use but were replaced by Porsche due to age. Windshield, headlights, paint has no pitting, etc. I'd much rather have my car than one that was tracked most of its life no matter how well it was serviced.
Dont think this was posted already.
Seems reasonable in todays market. Surprised it didnt sell quickly...
Not shocked that people aren't lining up to pay $50k over sticker for a three year old Touring when they could order a brand new one right now for a similar ADM.
