You are still hedging your bets, not coming clean.

Buy what you want if ever. But asking what others would buy, recommend you to buy with your incomplete info is getting old. Are you bored, trolling or trolling because you're bored?

None of the above.
Sorry to upset you.
Just trying to learn about the car that's all. Didn't have "all the info" originally

IMO, $84k would be a good buy as the spec isn’t overly desirable. A better spec would be worth 2-4k more.

Buckets, CPO, and lower price. No one should ever worry about a 9,000 mile car it's still brand new.

And it is CPO. That's unlimited mileage. So there is no risk until what? 2021 or 2022?

I'm 5'8" (barely) and 175. I drove the car in a straight 15hr stint. No problems. Are they as comfortable as the standard seats in my 991.2? No. But they aren't uncomfortable either. Better than Recaro Pole Positions for sure.

Seat fit is a personal thing. Find one and sit in them for a bit if at all possible.

My opinion on used cars is mileage is secondary to condition (when we are taking less than 15k or so). I have seen low mileage cars that show signs of neglect or abuse and higher mileage cars that are in perfect condition. Frankly one of the worst things you can do to a car is not drive it for prolonged periods of time so very low mileage cars that are more than 2-3 years old don't appeal to me at all. In this case the mileage difference is really marginal and I would not allow it to factor into the equation at all personally. I will be in the GT4 market this summer or fall and have already followed the market closely, I think the very low mileage cars are largely overvalued based on those low miles. I drive my cars and plan on driving the GT4 quite a bit and doing track work with it also so spending extra money for a car with a few thousand less miles to me is really a waste. If your looking for as an investment to park then lower mileage tends to work out best but parking a GT4 for 20 years hoping for a payoff would be a real shame.

I agree that if you are going to drive the car 5-10k+ miles a year, then why pay more for a low/very low mile car. However, since some/many GT cars are driven sparingly (for many reasons), there will always be value separation with the low mile cars commanding more dollars.

My GT4 is sitting at Kings Porsche in Cincinnati. Mike Gerber is my sales contact. Carmine/Black $117,500 MSRP and their ask is $96,900 with 24,000 miles and CPO until Dec 2021. I left the Tarett camber plates, TPC toe links and BBi roll bar in the car. Oil changes every 3-4000 miles and all service is up to date. My guess is you could buy it for close to $90k. The bulk of the miles were put on going to and from 6 Smokies GT events. The DME shows a little over 400 counts in range 1, nothing in the higher ranges. Several people on this board have seen/driven the car.

Alan, I saw your car was there for sale, figured you traded it for that black RS they had sitting around! See you at Smokies,

Traded for a GT3. The RS had a $60k ADM. The upcoming Smokies event will be the best one to date. A lot of work going into it.
