Default GT4 for sale

What I am missing on this car? It seems to be a great price and a stunning color. I have no connection, as I just saw it advertised on Pelican Parts.

I agree on the miles, but for a driver, this would make someone a great car.

Here are the manhein auction wholesale numbers. Unless this is a wrecked or damaged car. it is a great deal, miles nonetheless

8/16/17 $97,800 2,901 - - 6G/M

8/9/17 $102,250 10,458 4.6 6G/6 Yellow

7/19/17 $96,250 16,035 4.3 6G/6 Black

7/18/17 $96,500 1,796 5.0 6G/6 Yellow

7/12/17 $104,000 2,626 4.9 6G/6 White

6/21/17 $103,250 11,104 4.6 6G/6 Yellow

These are wholesale numbers.

Offer the guy $75K settle for $77K and then you have a fun track car, a fun daily driver.

I'm not trying to help the guy sell it, but, Rennlist has helped me in the past and I would like to help a fellow rennlister to find a deal.

As long as you get a PPI the car still has Mfgr warranty, and this is the original buyer, you're minimizing your risk.

Why is 33K miles for a 2 year old car a lot? I have this view that Porsches are well made with many examples with very high mileage (I'm considering purchasing a Cayman myself for daily usage).

you are correct. These cars are meant to be driven. 33,000 is certainly higher than avg for a sports car of this age, but it would not have deterred me at all. Somebody really got an amazing deal.

You're absolutely right. If properly maintained and driven, there is no reason a high mileage Porsche shouldn't be considered a sound vehicle. However, for many (most?) Porsche owners use their car as a second or third driver. As a result, they put fewer miles on the Porsche. My previous car was a BMW M3. It was my only car and daily driver and I would easily put 10-14k miles on it. Now my Porsche is not my DD and as such has averaged ~ 4k miles per year. I think in general you'll find that the low mileage cars tend to be more desirable and command a higher price than a high mileage ones.
