Its similar to a white 2004 Turbo that has been for sale with about 4K miles and the dealer wants 75K. They sound nice but you gotta dump money into these unicorns to get them running too. I actually think the SF car sounds good with such low mileage. So long as all the fluids had been drained and that car had been stored somewhere where rodents could not get to it may be a nice museum piece for someone. I wont comment on the price as who knows what its worth. I would love to see these cars.

It makes more sense for a car line that has been less acclaimed or received by the enthusiast community. For example the E39 M5 - those are fetching stupid money with really low miles collectors condition cars. But in that case the follow on generation of cars are less sought after. In this case the 997 is a better car without much argument. So I just don't get that anybody would buy those cars for that money when a nice 997.2 could be had instead.

2008, manual, 430 HP, 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, 190MPH top speed, 11.7 1/4 mile stock, 76k miles.
$23,950.00.
If it is still on sale in February when my bonus comes due, I am buying it. New engine is $6,500.00 directly from manufacturer

But the point of a less-than-1000 mile car is that it is NEW in most respects.
Condition and mileage both matter.
But the point of this thread is to post what's for sale out there, so lets keep them coming.

Long before the 996 was the 911 whipping boy in the Porsche community, the 964 was Porsche's unloved red-headed stepchild 911.
Now a 1,000 original miles example would go for big bucks... (but still need to be gone through top to bottom at huge cost and it would still get spanked silly performance-wise by any 996)

Porsche 911 owners on the other hand still have to wait until 2019 in USA for Pfizer's patent on Sidenafil to expire and for its price to fall.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of silver either...
Or, were you referring to the to the fact that the car has never been driven?
In seriousness, I am intrigued by these ultra-low mileage cars that we see advertised from time to time.
I don't know that this one is worth the $47,500 they are asking, it depends a lot upon what maintenance has been performed, and how it was stored.
If a person could determine what kind of mechanical shape it is truly in and factor that into the price, they might do OK.
Lets say you would need to put $5-6K into the car for an IMSB, fluids, and misc. items. And say, you got the car for $43K or something.
For less than $50K, you would have a brand new 911 to go out and start driving. You cant buy any new 911 for 1/2 that.
Not everyone would think this is a good deal, and I'm not even certain what I really think about it. But to the right person, these things are opportunities....

To the uneducated buyer they will probably just see that a nice 997 can be bought for $50k and totally ignore the 996 at that level of price.

Buying a car like this wouldn't be the most fun. I am going to assume... and maybe I shouldn't, but I'm betting that they have no idea what needs to be done to this car to make it ready to drive. Your numbers are relatively spot on, in my opinion. And trying to explain that to the uneducated seller would just be a pain... I feel like they would just think it's a shakedown.

But, we're both speculating here on what the guy knows and thinks. We don't know the guy's story.
I also think you're right that most people with $50K to buy a 911 will be looking at other models (997, 996TT, 996GT2 or GT3, etc.)
Still intrigues me though. Probably because it's a rarity.
