That’s rather nice. But I would prefer one that has done 10.000 km and had all the services along the way. I have a very similar 997 GT3 RS 4.0 and the service schedule is quite elaborate, so I wouldn’t go for a low (no) mileage as you cannot be sure that all the maintenance has been carried out. Calculate at least 20k to “recommission” it as it needs new speak plugs, tyres, fluids, various filters etc etc.
It’s unusable now.It will be punted to speculator after speculator and never turn a wheel again

4 Cup 2 tyres, filters, fluids, plugs, belts etc will add up to more than 3k. You won’t get much change from 1700 just for the tyres.£20K?! no way... more like £3K at tops.
£1300 for the other stuff.
£20K is way over-egged.

It won’t be 20k, but it certainly won’t be 3 either. £1300 for the other stuff.

That’s before a multitude of unlubricated gaskets & seals need replacing, too.
If stored well, i.e. indoors, as is obvious, possibly not even the tyres would need replacing, despite their age, unless one intends to track the car. The rest, just drive it. Nothing will need doing. No parts are made of cheese.

How do you lubricate gaskets, precisely?

Sorry, I forgot that pedantry matters. Unlubricated seals & degraded gaskets. Is that better?

As for suggesting driving an RS4.0 on decade old rubber.. tells my all I need to know. At least our resident font of knowledge agrees with you.
