whatever the reason, its limited to the GT3 only. used TT's are mostly 1 owner examples

I'm the third owner of my 6GT3, bought at 2700 miles 5 years ago, 29000 on it now. First two owners had the same story, too much car. Both traded it back to the dealer on a Turbo. First owner put 1100 miles on it, the second 1600 miles.

Really astute comment. Add to this worries about whether the parking will safe wherever you take it...ie getting keyed or people lounging on it to take photos.

unlike a horse, they can sit in a garage for a couple years without detriment.
I too am weary of higher end makes with multiple owners. suspicious at best.
plus wannabe boy racers who buy on twitch and not on experience do not make good prior owners imo.

I don't see money people making uninformed buys of gt3's.
money people don't make stupid buys, I assumed.
they wouldn't be money people if they did not make logical, informed purchases.
