04 gt3 purchase

Hello all,

I have come here looking for advice on the purchase of an 04 gt3, that's $51,000. The car is immaculate, no accidents, no paintwork, perfect interior, a little rock spray on the nose), and it's a blk/blk car.

Simple question...this car has 20k mi., 5k of which have been on a track (not raced, no roll bar), how many miles am I giving up in street miles at let's say 4,000rpm's with minimal pounding abuse, (can you even do that in one of these?)

In other words, I figure these 5k mi. have been spent at 6k-7k rpm's, do you think that is too much abuse to consider for a long term driver? I'm trying to equate track miles into street driven miles, 5k track = ? street miles. Plus considering clutch abuse and anything else that might be verrry expensive to fix too soon, let alone the $33k motor!! New tires, brake pads, rotors and recent service have been performed.

Normally I would not buy a car that has been tracked, but these cars are hard to find with relatively low miles unless they are in the high $50-$60,000's. I will use this as a driver for about 6k miles a year.

Thank you for your help.

(I will also be selling a 97 blk/blk c2s, 30k miles, not the least bit abused)
