I have to agree with donk.
Given the market for the GR86, BRZ, FR-S, GT-86, or whatever names come with this vehicle, they are demanding a premium and have proven their reliability and desirability.
Having said that, one argument I would counter is the notion of not buying a modded car. I agree that modifications can be subjective, but ultimately, it boils down to what was done, quality of parts, how it was done, and by who.
I would give consideration to an owner who has meticulous documentation and either does the work him/herself, or has a reputable shop to help with its credibility.
I've been searching for a 996/997, and came across a modified 996 that is both daily drive'able and a prepped tracked car that was taken care of by my local Porsche shop. I was really close to making an offer then the reality of insurance and being able to drive the thing regularly deterred me from doing so.
As they say, buy the seller. Not the car. (Sort of.) Happy searching!
P.S. - Can vouch for mb_. Super good guy.
P.P.S - I've been on the market for a good FRS/BRZ but of the ones I've looked at, they've been owned by buddy guy Harpals.
