Default Yeti - 997.1 RS

Hi Guys
this car has some history, went and looked at it about 6months ago and i was told it was sold, but put back on the market in some time with a higher price, my offer of the original price was rjected and sold again a month ago. Today the dealership called and mentioned its back again due to the new owner not being able to sort out the import in their home country.

2008 rs, pccb, cloth buckets, cage, 18k km, was imported to Dubai from Japan, has some small dents in left front fender, non original screens in the fron, roberuta front lift

So another sleepless night ahead...but would anyone have a smart recommendation at $110k why not to consider this if PPI checks out?

No real benchmark the only other car is signal green 5k km “brand new” one for double the price

non RS .1 gt3 would be $70-80k, .2 gt3 around 95-100

At that price there must be a story, its been on sale on and off in these parts for around 3 years now. I'd rather hop into a no stories GCC 991.1 GT3 for around the same price and then wait until you find a pristine 7.1RS, if that's your halo car.

Quick update after PPI:

Fair amount of good:
Paint original , seats original, no sign of damage other than some scratches and dent on left fender

few scary ones:
4.Engine Noise: Transmission Sealant not OEM
7) Clutch is very hard and heavy vibration
( would need to drop engine to check)
non original plastic rear window (?)

will talk to seller and see what / if any reasonable negotiation they are open to

What about over revs? Service history over the last few years, modded suspension, rear main seal leaks etc? Did Nabooda do the PPI?

Over rev report not yet done (AutoHaus did the PPI, they did not have the tool for it!, was not impressed with their service)
no leaks anywhere
service history is from Japan
I made an offer as is, or after clearing all doubts with an engine out inspection at Nabooda
