Silver 991.1 turbo S for sale at 9e

Does anybody know the history of this car?
Should I be concerned it has had 7 owners and that it has a stage 2 tune by 9e to 650ps?
Would I be better off looking at cheaper, standard cars with fewer owners that are out there? Any advice/guidance is much appreciated.

It should be straight car if Ken has taken her in at 9e. Not that its important but not correct on the 9e tune. Ken recently sold a manual 997.1 turbo with 32k miles I've raced a few time on track. Identical mods to mine. £80k 
I'd say thats add value and was a bit shocked myself. Maybe people realising all these turbo cars held back? Loads tuning their 991.2 and 992s via 9e too. Very busy.

The 9e tune does not devalue the car in my view. Far from it for many performance orientated buyers I'd say its a bonus historically many people in UK put off but every man and his dog remapping them now . Lots of 9e customers smoking around in tuned 580bhp 992 and 991.2. I think with dawn of every 911 going turbo people realise the power level any given 911 has just depends on the map it has. Hardware the same. Same with 991.1 turbo and 991.1 turbo s. iIdentical hardware with different tunes. 991.2 GT2 RS also basically a 991 turbo s engine but with better cooling and big turbos

Perhaps 'smoking around' is not the best description here 
9e are excellent but I wouldn’t buy a 7 owner car of that age, too many owners that had it for so short a time they didn’t have to worry about servicing or doing anything to look after it for the next guy.
The tune of it is worth a small premium only to me and that’s only because it’s 9E and with a good exhaust, think I’d prefer the milder stage 1 to be honest
Still could be tricky to sell on unless you take it back to 9E to sell, and they will take their 5-8k margin

Maybe I'd be better off finding a cheaper, standard spec car with 3/4 owners and drive it for a while before thinking about getting it tuned/mapped and then take it to Ken at 9e as they seem to have a very good reputation.
7 owners the car would not put me off if there was a benefit in the price but this seems to be right on OPC money. I think it shows there is a shortage of used stock around. The mileage on this very nice indeed and condition is like new Ive seen the car. I'd bid £75k and see what happens. Owners will be an issue for any buyer. The vendor has to be realistic.Regarding the owners most 2013/14 Turbo s average 5 owners even when buying from Porsche approved its more than normal at that level. i wouldnt buy a tuned one as cant see the need and that also means no Porsche warranty? I got mine a few weeks back didnt try to negotiate price as I only wanted a certain spec and saw only 2 in a year of searching daily.
