I met Jay Leno and he took me on a tour of his garage years ago, he has a guy living in his garage year round to do one thing, to ensure each car has its gears properly lubed as he said, to ensure things don’t dry out, go bad, etc.

I know from experience with 993s that these older cars that aren't driven will need a lot done to get them up to snuff. Gaskets crack, seals leak, shocks leak, steering racks leak and problems go unrecognized - deterioration of rubber components as a whole like vacuum lines, fuel line issues and the occasional rat or squirrel making a home.

3 years is probably fine. I think the low miles thing really becomes an issue with older Porsches.

This thread nothing but thin skinned children now?

thin skinned car salesmen who can’t unload their high mileage tracked 3 year old gt3, so they try to devalue the 3 year old pristine car with low miles that’s never been tracked.

Sounds like you are the one with thin skin. You must have the 3 year old low mileage Porsche you look at everyday in your garage while the rest of us enjoy and drive ours. Carry on!

Got my new 992 GT3 exactly one week ago. Now have 634 miles on it. It will be tracked soon, as intended by its designers.

"""For me, best used car is one that is driven a couple thousand miles a year, kept in garage, well maintained, not driven overly hard on the road, and tracked little or not at all. Obviously, if it's a PDK car, you generally don't have to worry about overrevs."""
