if the mileage itself and resale are irrelevant, then go for it. But you also mention reliability and possible CPO. IMO thats where the multiple owners, high mileage, unknown service history, unknown track history (prior to the the current owner) make it a crapshoot. And unless the service history can be documented, it would seem highly unlikely a dealer can/will CPO it.
I would also disagree with your statement that a 3 owner 40K mile car with all of these unknowns could ever be “better” or preferable to a single owner 5K mile car bought new-

Agreed
If your M.O. is getting into the WP market at the lowest cost then it kind of fits. I hear from lots of GT owners that their cars are "keepers". Some do then sell on prematurely due to change in circumstances etc. $215,000 is very tempting. Personally i would drop the WP urge and buy low miles/owners non WP car.

so I took all your advice and decided not to do it.
a few reasons…first of all of course everyone cares about cost/benefit analysis. I didn’t want to spend money on repairs and worries with mechanics and what not.
the car was a 236k msrp with full ppf and ceramic

this is the car. But that was an older listing but has more info on the car.

So this car is at Champion? Interesting, because I assumed you were talking about the black 35K mile GT3RS Weissach at the Lambo dealer in Sarasota. Quite the coincidence.

Hey OP... did you check out the chalk 991.2RS for sale here on RL at $254k w/3,300 miles? This is a price jump I would seriously consider in your situation. Original owner and barely used. No WP, however, it has all the great options and tasteful mods. In addition, you could fly to Vegas and drive it home easily. I would compare items like the clear bra and the enclosed shipping expense from FL to CA as well.

In order to be CPO it has to go through a Porsche dealer. If the CarFax is accurate, it appears it may have been a dealer GM/owner vehicle prior to first being sold, which it was then offered as CPO. It is very interesting to see, again assuming mileage intervals are accurate in the report, how mileage was accumulated. Someone really got to enjoy this car (maybe some great road trips...). In one interval (Sept '20), there were 4k miles done in 24 days. Btw, nothing wrong with tracking these, as they are made for it. If that were to be a sticking point for someone, would have asked why the tow hook cover was installed/replaced. The calipers were painted black at some point too, looks good for that car. Again, big applause for the owner(s) lucky to drive an RS that much. Still wouldn't be a buyer at $215k though.
