Wow! Thanks for raising the bar on the purchase price. I don't think I have seen a 944 turbo with that many miles command a 20k+ sale! Sure I'm glad i'm sitting on two of these!

I didn't spend quite $20 but close enough. Miles didnt concern me as much as history and condition. I have, unfortunately, purchased many "bargain" cars only to put 25-50% of the purchase price back into them to make them like they were supposed to be. A completely stock 944T with an average of 3000 miles a year of use, service history from day one, no paint work, and major services recently completed works for me. I buy based on value and not price. Fortunately I am in a position in life where I can also justify spending a few thousand more on a car purchase when it means buying from a reputable seller who doesn't waste my time.
Hang on to your two as they will only go up in value while being a useful daily driver. I have a 1970 Hemi Cuda Convertible that is with a ton but is pretty much useless in terms of usability. Garage art only.

Well not completely stock as the wheels have been changed. But never the less a nice clean car. The higher the prices on these cars go, the better for companies such as ours and the car owners of course.

I'm sure you will enjoy it. I wish I still had my 69 Hemi Mustang sitting in the garage.

good to know as I would prefer to be accurate when I say "completely stock"

I tend to modify almost every car i own but not this one or a few of my older classics
as they say; " they are only original once" and the car that is the most original is the one that typically is worth the most...
having said that cars are usually poor investments and modifying them makes them more fun, often perform better and makes it uniquly your own
