BY FAR the most important aspect is how well it's been maintained. Have the hubs been replaced after they timed out (4K miles)? Have the coolant lines been dealt with? Have the variocam actuators been upgraded to the latest rev? Has the transmission been rebuilt? How is the clutch? How often is it getting an oil change? If that work has not been done, you're looking at $20K of maint work (not warranty) on top of whatever the asking price is.

The PPI was done at Champion Motorsports.

No, It will only catch broken things, or basic consumables like brake pads, tires, rotors. They should check engine overrevs, but might not unless you specifically ask.

I don't think a transmission rebuild and replacing the CL's every 4k miles is a bit unnecessary. I haven't seen a CL fail with 4k street miles, track miles are a different story. My old car's transmission is still factory I believe with 46-48k miles, and was tracked extensively
The cars condition depends on the driver and maintenance. Simple as that. You treat the car right and she'll last a long time.
If LSD was not replaced that will most likely be needed, if the car will be tracked. The Cam Actuator Bolts are also a potential issue, and should be addressed. They can be replaced with updated parts or simply cross drilled and wired.

Do not sell your 997 GT3/RS. It finally hit me today just how special these cars are and that the values will continue to go up and up. Why? I saw a 991 GT3RS today.

Even though I love my 991, I think the smaller proportions of the 997 makes it the more attractive car. IMHO.
