I also prefer the cosmetics of some Euro cars, things like unique fabric interiors, small bumperettes, rear fog, the parking light. I like those little details that you often see on them. I see the Euro cars as the way Porsche originally designed the G series cars before they had to be adjusted to fit US regulations. When they added the heavy ugly US bumperettes they didn't add that to the Euro cars because it didn't improve the design.
As for the facts
My car came with complete EPA & DOT paperwork so I can't speculate on difficulties with that. I had no problem whatsoever at the DMV
Like all used cars you are buying the owner and should do your due diligence as to condition. Its just as likely that a US car can be 'driven hard and put away wet'.
I have never had a problem insuring the car
There are some different parts in the CIS in my euro car. All the parts are readily available.
As for selling when I first found my car I planned to flip it but it was such a pleasure to drive, i decided to keep it. My ad was up for one day and I had twenty five serious responses and two immediate cash offers of my ask, aswell as three European buyers two of whom were German, one of whom offered over my ask for the car.
My car was bought back in 1986 by an Air force Colonel who flew the car home in a US Transport Aircraft. He also kept incredibly detailed and fastidious records.

Ultimately its what you prefer and are willing to pay for. There is often a lot of nonsense and fear based on some old redundant stories. If you search on tech there are lots of threads detailing many aspects of ROW vs US. With any used 911 the history that's available with the car is the key to making an informed purchase. My 2c as a Euro owner : Drive a Euro car and drive a US car and see if you prefer the feel of one over the other.
