Here's some stuff to think about:

A lot of the price in this car is the premium associated with low miles. So, every mile you drive it, the less value the car has as a low-mile car. A G50 Carrera is a great car, but it's still a car meant to be driven. After you start driving it, you might be sorry you decided to buy a low-mile car instead of a driver.

Personally, I had NO IDEA how much fun my car would be to drive. I love driving it, and can't imagine having to worry about the miles.

Another thing to think about is the hassles involved with a low-mile car. Sure, it hasn't been driven, but all those rubber bits in the suspension are probably due for replacement. And the shocks. And what's with the brakes? You have no idea, because there are no records. How much oil does it drink? Maybe a lot - the valve guides in these cars wore really fast in some of the cars.

Yeah, it might be in great physical shape, but I wouldn't count on it being in great mechanical shape. Especially without some documentation.

A VERY careful PPI is necessary.
