GT2 Lifespan, 155k?

I looked at a GT2 with 155,00 kilometers on it and wondering what the lifespan would be on one of these. The car is in Germany and has been serviced per factory specs plus by the stealer & RUF. It is all black and very nice with a few upgrades the guy traded it in on a GT3 which will be his new daily driver.

I am looking at it for a DD as I spend two weeks a month here and thought this would be more fun then a BMW

Thanks for your input

Thom

I'm sure I am not the best person to answer this, but do you know what he used the car for? Some people really baby the car, have an easy commute, others, well, 155k kms is a hell of a lot of runs on the drag strip.

The car was driven as a long haul commuter, primarily on the Autobahn A5 & A10 as he drove between Stuttgart and Frankfurt quite a bit as well as Brussels, also with some laps of the Nurburing, but then my rental car also has a few of those

One thing about Porsches, the more you drive it, the better everything works. I would MUCH rather buy one with high miles that was driven a lot rather than one that sat in someone's garage with low miles.

As long as the turbos were allowed to cool before shutting the engine off, I would not be worried as long as you could see all the maint. records.
