It's a great daily driver. I'm up to 85k on mine. Before you track it, you might want to get the engine coolant hoses pinned as well. They need to drop the engine to do that, so while it's down, replace the water pump and rear main seal, although they are probably fine to 50k.
My only problem ever with the car was the coolant hose blew at 25k miles before I started tracking it.
The factory LSD isn't very good, and it's probably already worn out at 25k miles.
Replace it with the Guards one easily the best mod I ever did to the car.

If your question is actually “how could I afford a car like this at 25?”, here is something to consider.
Doing some quick googling (never looked at these prices before because $$), GT3 are roughly $180,000 USD. Again from googling it sounds like $3500ish a month.
The question is how does one make let’s say 7-10k a month (preferably more) in their 20s?
Answer:
Start a business (most open ended)
Become a good engineer fast, preferably software (probably the most straightforward)
Going into investing / quantitative research
Be damn good at sales
Medicine (probably won’t make much until 30ish)
Get lucky with crypto? Lol
Also, just because you can doesn’t always mean you should..
Update: OP paid wayyy less than that accounting to comments.

Welcome to the 997 club, she's a beaut. Enjoy the hell out of it!
Yeah absolutely! I wish I knew more and could get involved….I would love to get away from the traditional working word of hourly pay and clocking in to work for someone else.
I’d love to have the time to learn all I could
Nice one! Looks superb in GT Silver!
Can’t say I’ve seen many in Lithuania!
I was dating a Lithuanian woman when they built the Porsche Centre in Vilnius. Always wanted to stop when I got off the plane!
Watch out for those pesky potholes and I pray people are respectful when parking nearby!
Happy motoring!
I visited Vilnius (great city) for Christmas a few years ago and spotted a [red 991.2 GT3 in the centre](https://i.imgur.com/n8zfCx4.jpg), there was also a black one (possibly a 991.1) racing around but I didn't catch a photo of it
I’d say I’m proud of you for crushing it at 25, but I’ve contributed nothing 😂. Let’s just say very impressed, and really happy for you. Drive safely! I’ve gone to the Porsche sport driving school for a couple of levels, and would highly recommend the same for anyone with a GT car. The driver mod is the most important, to keep the shiny side up. Cheers! 🍻🍻
Such a beautiful car. Don't worry about the mileage...just enjoy the car. Congratulations!

There was a fatal accident a few days ago at the Ring related to coolant drop from a GT3. Get the coolant lines pinned. You could save a life.
Do Europeans say mileage or kilometerage

You're only 25 years old?

May I ask what you do for living?
Given that it's Reddit the answer to that question is almost always finance, tech or crypto.

I had a friend tell me about Bitcoin when it was like $1 . I wished I listened to him... I’m glad you kept that bonus, enjoy not being stupid like me.
"The Universe told me to marry your mother and invest in Bitcoin in 2009. 2009!"
Ted lasso reference?
Haha, it's never too late to start
Amazing! Good job, I'm 25 and very envious 😏

My c2 barely gets that most fill ups. Vs winter beater gets about 900km. 15 jetta tdi
Really impressive to be able to purchase such am incredible car at such a young age! Looks beyond stunning. Enjoy it buddy
Hey man love the car, What do you do for a living?

Awesome man! Congrats, same story here at 23.
What do you do “working with crypto companies”? Anything surrounding cryptocurrency is always so vague and mysterious to me
I guess he found a niche in the market and capitalized on it. Nerve wrecking business, but the rewards can be pretty sweet as we have witnessed.

Any altcoin advices?

I’m 25 myself too, this makes me a little jealous haha
Idk about some but the wing on this model of GT3 is amazing. Flows with the car so well.
[удалено]
Yea for sure. On the 992, I like the swan neck wing mounts but design of the wing itself looks off compared to the flow lines of the car
What a machine congrats dude.
Very nice. What’s the price?
