absolutely 0 over revs and 0 track days. 100% original paint with no chip.
the only warranty work was the tires, which were replaced due to nails.
no mechanical work.
i haven't looked closely at the oil changes, at this mileage i would say 2-3 maybe. the last oil change was June 2016 i believe.
All work performed at Porsche dealerships.

Very cool you could buy a toy brand new and sell it 6 years later to [almost] break even! GLWS!

I'm sure this is a stupid question,but what determines a over rev
Hitting the rev limiter or missing a gear

There's a chart in the first post. Full circle, OPs GT3 doesn't have any over revs (i.e. - a clean DME).
GLWS! Looks to be pristine.

Case in point.
PCA guys are a whole diff breed. so much so they know this at the factory and not only have different recording algorythms but its COMMON KNOWLEDGE to ask about it.
fortunately i can relax on talking about it during the event since half my guys are running the pdk these days.
PSA for real tho its not only a danger to the rods and bearings (valves are usually not floating for the one gear jumpers) but your rear end is going to become a whole lot looser when doing this. very dangerous to the new guy all around

The over-rev issue is the absolute dumbest barometer for whether an engine is healthy or not and is purely the "hype of forum." If any modern car has an over-rev and the engine is damaged in the slightest bit it will throw a fault code immediately or very shortly thereafter. To presume that only Porsche drivers downshift early is really a silly argument and not worth debating.
Lets also draw attention to the fact that NO other car made (except an M3?) logs over-revs so how on earth can you seriously consider purchasing anything used if this is the case? Because only drivers of 996 and later Porsches over-revved and no earlier Porsche or other car on the planet has ever been over-revved? Stupid.
My experience with this was my 996TT which I bought with range 1 and 2 over-revs. It had 1 owner before me and it was never tracked or modified but the car was thoroughly inspected and checked out clean. After purchase, I set it up for track duty (suspension, mild power, brakes, etc.) and ran it for 10k miles road/track. It blew a coolant hose 1 time but otherwise was perfect and was always maintained. When the first buyer came around he took it to a prominent Porsche tuner down here (who worked on my race car in the past) and the shop said it had range 1 and 2 over-revs and he should walk. He didn't buy the car. Funny thing was it had the same exact number of over-revs from the day I bought it to the day I sold it.
Next buyer took it to a different race shop and they said the car was perfect and not to pay attention to the over-revs. The car sold. I still talk to the buyer and 2 years later and another 15k miles and nothing wrong.
Point is if the car has an engine issue the super computers will pick it up. Get the car inspected and buy if you like. This is a Porsche man. Not a Yugo.
Now let the man sell this GT3!

thanks for the free bumps guys.
with all that being said, this car is absolutely clean and free of any stories. I sourced this car for my friend, and he's not really a car guy and would ask me for anything needs done for the car. so i know this car since day 1. he never goes to the track and he drives like a grandma.
this car is barely broken in!
if no dips on the car I'll buy it myself.
