GTS for sale
Greetings all,
Hemmings Motor News, always a great read, has an ad on pg 5814 of this August's issue.
PORSCHE: 1995 GTS, automatic, original owner, look, only 223 miles, polar silver, grey supple leather, deviated dash (?), door panels in midnight blue, lumbar support driver's seat, fully loaded, car has sat in garage covered, mint, mint, mint showroom condition, for the collector who thought he had it all, $128,000 or trade for 2001 Porsche Turbo.
I am amazed.

Man, if the car has sat in the garage covered all this time you know it's going to take some cash to get that engine in running condition.
The Ferrari dealerships see this kind of crap all the time. On a late model garage queen Testarossa it takes a minimum 10 grand to get it all back in order.

Maybe this guy thought to store it properly maybe he didn't. If you were to cough up the money he's asking would you want to risk it? Just to have a 223 mile GTS? I'd sooner buy Devek's White Car or better yet, have my own 928 S4 thoroughly rebuilt from the ground up and I still have a ton of change left over.
Basically this fool is asking you to finance the purchase of a 2001 twin turbo. If you've got that kind of money to burn, I say stick your tongue at him on your way to the dealership to buy that twin turbo for yourself.

The first few thousand miles will cost you big time in depreciation$$$$$$ Unless one plans to use it as a museum display, it's a terrible investment. I've seen low mileage '95 GTS's in the $50k range. Put a few miles on this one and it will be right there with them.
