The first owner drove it a lot. Since the beginning of this year the car has been trading hands quite a bit as people are trying to flip it. Current owner seems like the type that is not super interested in selling it, but would if they got a ridiculous offer. Seems like a lot of people have been doing that lately with feeler ads or listing the car at ridiculously high asking prices that the car would never sell at.
Pissed I sold it. Guy in town begged me for it and I had just bought a 964 Wide body and a 992 Touring allocation granted. I went through my dealer who I have a good relationship with and went ahead and sold it for $200,000. The guy had it 45 days and sold it back to the dealer for what I don't know but that was when things spiked pretty hard in the Touring market. This guy in NC bought it from the dealer and I hope he paid all of the money for it bc sounds like he/she just had plans on flipping again for profit. Sucks. Self inflicted wound that I regret every day. I'm a f'ing dumb *** for selling it. Glad the Touring market is calming down. Maybe people will go back to driving these magical machines.

Early July I had a deposit on a black GT3 at a Porsche dealer in the Midwest (won’t say which one) on what was promised to be a “flawless car.” I bought plane tix and flew 1,500 miles to see it. Show up and straightaway there’s 3 small dents on the car, a nice rub on the front bumper that won’t get buffed out and oh btw “you have a brand new engine in this car, yea you’re lucky because there was a problem with the old one so Porsche put an all new engine in this with zero miles.” My reaction put the guy in cold sweats. He knew I had to fly out to see the car, how dare they not tell me about something like that beforehand?
Car is still for sale lol, always do your due diligence.

damn, man you had one of the top 3 builds I’ve seen. Easy for me to say, but that was a keeper.

Best money you have ever spent on a car. Should send the guy some flowers and thank him for making you take the trip BEFORE spending your hard earned dollars

Sounds like you did your due diligence and still got boned. Sorry brother.

And then send him a boot and tell him to shove it up his *** for him. 👍🏻

We have this car available in our shop for our client if anyone is interested, will accept reasonable offers. 2415 Miles, Lizard Green with Lift and much more.
I just added a comment to my MB listing above on the forum, some crazy peeps out there just looking to flip cars.
Had dealers calling and asking to send the car straight to the auction locally without them even collecting or seeing the car LOL, amazes me that this is how the market is.
