I recently planned a trip in Southern California, just so that I could rent a type R from Turo.
It was exciting to finally get to drive one! Maybe you could do something similar? Most Type Rs on turo can be rented for $100/day.
Wouldn't buy a used Type R period?... Y'all are starting to sound like the people on Porsche forums who brag that their cars have never seen snow. Like another user said, the type R is meant to be driven hard, so drive it hard. There is nothing wrong with a used CTR as long as you aren't paying...
