If ya bought it, would you ever drive it?
Cue Ferrari from 'Ferris Beuhler's Day Off.'
He just wipes the car down with diapers . . .
Guess jacking the rear up and running her backwards will not reverse the
electronic odometer count.

If you think this is a low mileage car, then you have to come with me to Saudi Arabia. I have been to palaces full of literally underiven cars. This is one is a definite cash, though i doubt my family would be excited about me adding another 928 to the house (they literally don't want to hear it). Regardless, I think this is a good catch. What would be a better catch is for me to go to Riyadh this summer, swing by a few of my friends and take a sneak peek at what sits in the garage unwanted

I just don't know what to say! I am in complete awe and wish to buy it now!!! Seeing something like this always blows my mind! It's like a time capsule. It's like...like...a VIRGIN!...with Sport Seats!!!
Hope it never sees the road in a weird way.
Simply spectacular!

IIRC you can present them with a reserve, however the quantity of no reserve cars they have leaves the reserve cars out in the cold. They also have a place set asside for you to bring the car to show it and sell it with a "Buy it now" price.
In either case it is destined to be a show car or worse locked away in a private collection for another 17 years without seeing the light of day or admired by anyone but the owner.
I would love to see it up close. What are the other low mileage cars? Are they P-cars, if so what models and years?

Kevin asked me to keep his identity quiet until the deal is done at which time I could reveal a link to his collection. Stay tuned.
[edit with afterthought] Tony, you would probably be particular interested in the 94 3.6 turbos in his collection. He has two that I know of, one is the regular version with under 1,000 miles and the other is a flat nose with ~1,300 miles. Super nice cars......

just got back from seeing the car.... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is all I have to say
the color is almost the exact match to my S4... hmmmmmmmm
just a couple follow ups to Chuck's comments, the gent has an awesome collection, though not all Porsches IIRC.. he recently had a Ferrari
the other cars were 79 924 Sebring, 88 911 CS both with UNDER 100 MILES!!!!! and the other car I don't remember as I was completely dumbfounded by the shark
as for the GT, it smells BRAND SPANKING NEW!, undercarriage, engine, paint etc are PERFECT!
Kevin will arrange a time later for me to take pics if possible, offers for the car are already reaching 6 figures!
option codes:
220 - LSD
383/387 - Sport seats
393 - Lateral insignias, hatched black (78-82 option)
418 - side mouldings
474 - bilsteins
481 - 5 spd
570 - rear ac
650 - sunroof
691 - CD-1
CO2 - cat
that's all for now, hopefully I'll have pics in the near future, if they don't let Chuck get some while he's there

DROOL...........DROOL................ okay I'm addicted.....PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
$100K+ for a 17 year old $80K car.... an approximate 1.5% annual return on his $80k! My guess is the owner doesn't worry too much about $80k...wish that was me!
