Is it a good deal in the sense that you could turn around and sell it with little to no loss? Ya, I think so. A regular 987.2 S with that mileage not setup for track is worth probably $35-38k right now. I think this car even after a couple of years would still be worth at least 30k.

For a regular car you look at the Carfax and then poke around to see if the owner does their own maintenance. Then you see what common issues the car has, which I could answer those questions for you. Since the car has be modified for track you have a completely different set a questions you should be asking.


If I were buying the car I would be asking questions like:
- What modifications have you done to the suspension?
- I'm looking for what coilovers, what LCA, what sway bars, any other control arms changed out(alignment preservation), etc

- What brake kit does it have?
- I'm looking for what's the life left on the pads, what fluid you use, what kind of pads do you have installed right now, etc

- What are alignment specs for the vehicle, has it been corner balanced

- Who installed the cage, aftermarket seats, etc

- Finally, now regular maintenance like oil, trans fluid if it's a manual, motor mount, trans mounts, water pump, belt, etc
