Much better deal! 3 Years, Less miles, 1 owner and I am guessing no corrosion. Glad you didn't get the other one. Enjoy.

I think you dodged a bullet there. 6 owners?? There has to be a reason. Now it's someone else's problem, and not yours.

Carfax is widely known to be highly unreliable..

I bought my IMMACULATE 2012 GS 3LT with 14k miles at the height of used car prices in 2021 at $40k. I’d keep looking. The problems you see may say there are problems you can’t see. Good luck.

If you're not dead set on a Grand Sport, $35k will get you a super nice base C6.
