That car would have an "unobtainable" price as the last Carrera GT was produced in 2006!😬
The Porsche Carrera GT (Project Code 980) is a mid-engine[5]sports car that was manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Porsche from 2004[6] to 2006.
They are pretty cool cars though:

If you have interest in a non-salvage titled, BUT had prior accident a few owners past. My 996 is listed here and would consider offers in that price range. Mine is a fantastic daily that has been sorted.

Who can claim that Porsche ownership doesn't come with extra entertainment?

See? Even on the forum, "fun" is included !!!

There are also the owners who just can't stop themselves.. Most of what he did is decent preventative maintenance,
But I see people doing like transmission pullouts at 25K.. Because they heard that 2nd gear might wear in a 996.2 trans..
One solid repetitive experience I have had is German brands can't make rubber parts to save their lives and most German
cars need a ton of seals, trim and such replaced if they are not garaged when idle, and are getting past 10 years old.
Based upon numerous VW/BMW/PORSCHE/Audi customer experiences for me..
All 4 marques need their entire cooling system replaced at about 80K if you follow their service recommendations..
Plastic radiators plastic pipes have a effective life span, 80K or 10 years.. when they break its almost always a engine destruction event..
