Low miles, lower dealer price than I would expect for an '11 with 7K. I'm close to a deal on it, but I'm concerned that the asking feels too low compared to the process that other dealers are asking. DME is clean, but it was registered as a corporate car and car fax shows that the decals were replaced.
Any thoughts?

3 things stick out in that car fax to me:
1. Clutch at 6k - That's low miles for a street car... Excessive track? Excessive autocross?
2. Decals then sold at auction right away - Paintwork? Or just a quick flip from a PO that removed them?
3. This thing has been all over the place - The owner count looks off to me
If it were my $, I'd do this:
--Get a PPI from a local shop that specializes in track support for GT3s. They will know whether the car is good/bad. Get it up on lift, drive it, check it out.
--Paint meter whole car
--Ask dealer for full porsche service history printout. You 'can' get these, they're quite detailed and very useful for showing what was done to the car under warranty or not

Ask GT3DE. I believe this is one of his previous cars. He might be able to shed some light.

I've seen a few where the decal/name plates were replaced and never understood that. Anyone know what it means?

It's my understanding that this car belonged to Paul Walker at somepoint.... I am unsure of the accuracy of that account as this car seems to have a convoluted history.
Also, note that the center console is noted on the sticker as CF, but has been replaced with a silver.
Good luck tracking down the details on this car!
