991.1 GT3 Rear alinement looks off?
Hello! Looking at getting a 991 GT3. A local dealer has one i like but after looking at the picture's some more the rear wheels look a little weird to me. Could this just be a more track oriented alinement?
Going to try to get a PPI done. But should i even waste my time?

Definitely not a track alignment lol. I'm guessing they were just maneuvering the car around on the showroom and the rear wheel steer was assisting as it helps with parking. If they backed up and straightened out it should right itself but definitely verify.

I can see a track alignment with negative camber but from what I can tell from these pictures,it looks like the toe is off. I'm not even sure if toe is adjustable on that car with rear wheel steering...
Defective RWS? Accident? Very hard to say. I would have them put the car on a lift and look underneath even before asking for a PPI...

Didn't think the rear wheel steering moved enough to be visually noticeable, where this car, it's very obvious.
Surely, with the front wheels straightened the back wheel should go back to a neutral position, so suggest something amiss?

Looks a bit odd to me, like the wheel is not centered in the wheel well...pushed too far backward. I don't think that the caster is adjustable, although the toe certainly is.
I wouldn't give up on the car...I'd just have them put it on a rack and check it. Or, you could just measure another GT3 to compare.
