Not really. I don't think YouTube generates much money except for those who have 10 million+ subscribers. That's why many car Youtubers change cars frequently. Even then, a traditional job provides better stability.

i noticed that a lot of buyers shop on paper and spec. i have seen many CGT and more RS GT3's than most dealers. miles and number of owners are indicators but not the whole book. you have to ACTUALLY SEE THE CAR. and everyone's idea of a "clean" car or "condition 1" car is not the same.

Properly maintained and treated with respect the CGT can offer manifold rewards. 41.5k miles, original clutch still at 29.4mm, third major service completed last month, winter finally over and open roads ahead. What's not to like.

I can't imagine more driving fun than 41k miles in a CGT...kudos to you.

It finally was a warm day Saturday and took mine for a drive...it's just so incredible.

In this rare air there is no doubt that before the close it is highly recommended that you see the car yourself. But by the same token a deal can be ready to close before that ever happens. Sellers are not interested in the less than serious kicking the tires of their CGT and most of the less than very serious will not travel just to kick CGT tires.

No sadly, I wish that were the case. I bought it at the beginning of last year directly from the first owner when it was at 37k. All being well I plan to continue to do 4-5k per year mainly in Europe where the roads are better and there is less traffic.

At 15k miles on my CGT, I'm a total slacker. If it's any consolation, I have 54k miles on my '05 FGT...original owner.

I'm entering my CGT in the Concours de Elegance of Texas this Sunday. Should be a fun day.
