Almost at 100K miles

That's why I say drive it! It ain't gonna be the same price as a 50k model. A 100k mile 993 is at best 26-28k and that's is an S model. I would not pay that for a 100k mile car. You may ask for more but you ain't gonna get it. It's a almost 20 years old. You could pick up a 997 S for less and with less miles. No comparison! Don't know what all the hype is for an air cooled 993. 69-73 yes anything after including 996.
It's amazing to me that you can find similar posts like this one on other forums as well.

I would not sell it. I said it was a mistake of a lifetime. I would drive it to work everyday. But you have to be realistic about it. I have not looked on the used car market. I would expect any of them with over 100k would be in that range. A 993 TT or 993 S model that's a complete diff story. I don't think you would find a turbo with that many miles. Just my own thought. No offense to anyone. I had one an 97 S and a 964 RSA. To me the 964 is it. Looks like old school 911. I own a 997TT and it's been the best car I have ever owned and the last. No more cash for cars.

Hey, we get it.
Not only did you make an epic mistake by getting rid of your RSA, you doubled down on stupid by selling the 993, only to watch them both skyrocket in value and desirability.
Now, you're stuck watching your run-of-the-mill 997 Turbo depreciate as quick as it does 0-60.
The good thing is, you're still the fastest clueless clown driving down Denial Drive in Trollville

OP here -- thanks everyone for the comments and feedback, I always knew I bought the car to drive and enjoy so 100K will come and go, and I still won't be able to wipe the grin off my face. 
The market will determine what these cars are worth and that's probably the easiest way to think about it. I do believe a well-care for and maintained WB even w/ 100K+ miles will be attractive for anyone looking to pick up a 993 in the next several years -- it will be less 'nonsense' money than a lower mileage garage queen.
