What's that color called? Primer? You put paint on top of primer!

Yeah, I think that's a lot of $ for a car that has 50,000 km on it. Isn't that still around original MSRP?

I always thought that chalk colour was beautiful on the 991. 50K is probably the highest mileage GT3 I’ve ever seen. But that’s also the lowest price I’ve seen in 2 years. Give and take, I suppose.

If you don’t mind the mileage and it checks out mechanically, I’d recommend lowballing them. They’ve had it for sale for a long time.

This low mileage obsession seems crazy to me. These cars were made to be driven hard and owning one for purpose of parking sort of defeats the purpose.50k is nothing on a GT car assuming proper servicing.

I agree but that is high mileage compared to basically every other 991.2 GT3 on the market. Same with the RS cars, most listed on Autotrader have 10-15k if not less... there are 2016s with 5k on them which seems stupid. I'm about to hit 40k on mine and no regrets aside from what that will do on the eventual trade-in price.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. The dealer provided the carfax but was unable to comment about service records, repaints etc.

Probably a good reason why this has been sitting for years.... Buyer beware would be my first thought.

If you take the VIN to your local Porsche dealership they should be able to pull the dealer service history for you? Or at least they've done that in the past for me when purchasing a CPO vehicle... not sure if they'd do so for someone out of the blue but maybe if you said you'd be looking to get them to service going forward.

That car has been there for >1 year and I think it's always been one of the lower/lowest priced ones in the market....

Looked at this car last year. Original ask was 248K, significant price drop in a span of a year.
