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

Yeah - those things stuck out to me as well. Thanks for the input.

whats the price? looks good.. not sure about history...

Seth Thomas

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?

PM me - I will fill you in.

I sold the car to PNH

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!

If Porsche will certify it...and the price is right...go for it.

I know a bit about this car. OP needs to talk to this guy ^

I will say that its clean in person. Great looking car...but the facts are needed.

TRAKCAR

This car has stories
I don't see CF center console = silver now and don't see CF package..

Thanks for all the feedback - I've decided to pass on the car. No specific reason, just too much uncertainty on this one for such a major purchase (for me).
