We just purchased this ultra rare (1 of 39) 1994 3.6 Turbo S from the estate of its original owner. This deal ended up being a little more complicated however as we had to purchase all the classic cars from his estate to get this Flachbau. Now we all know I love an honest car with a great story and this is it. The owner Don loved this car; his best friend told me the car lasted longer than his two marriages. Don bought it in January of 1994 from Champion Porsche and he drove it! Just two years later he had already 29,900 miles on it and he didn’t slow down from there. In 2005 he had more than 155,000 miles on the odometer but then he started to slow down, adding only 4000 more miles since then to reach its now 162,700 original miles.

WOW someone actually drove one of these. Good for him. That explains what i am seeing. It looks a little tired compared to most I have seen which are usually in the less than 20k mile category.

Unfortunately the link does not work.

Sounds a bit crazy to buy a collection of cars like this for an example with so many miles. I can't imagine the value being all that high probably along side with the midnight blue flachbau that was in a bad accident but someone will have unique car that they can actually drive.

Details and Story:

We just purchased this ultra rare (1 of 39) 1994 3.6 Turbo S from the estate of its original owner. This deal ended up being a little more complicated however as we had to purchase all the classic cars from his estate to get this Flachbau. Now we all know I love an honest car with a great story and this is it. The owner Don loved this car; his best friend told me the car lasted longer than his two marriages. Don bought it in January of 1994 from Champion Porsche and he drove it! Just two years later he had already 29,900 miles on it and he didn’t slow down from there. In 2005 he had more than 155,000 miles on the odometer but then he started to slow down, adding only 4000 more miles since then to reach its now 162,700 original miles. Yup! You read that correctly: he drove and drove and drove! This was my kind of guy. The original paint is exactly what you’d expect from a car with this kind of mileage but it is all original with the exception of a repainted front bumper cover. Paint meters don’t lie and this car reads 4.5 to 10.0 and it has all its VIN stickers on the panels. There are a few chips and some peppering on the hood, above the stone guards and the lower rockers, a couple of dings on the left fender (our ding guy won’t touch alloy) and that’s about it. Killer patina tells the story. The interior is very nice also and you only can tell the mileage by the driver’s side seat bolster and carpet (worn through). We just serviced the car and performed a leak down test because no records except the Carfax were available. The leak down passed with flying colors revealing less than 10% on all cylinders. The remainder of the service involved replacing a few sensors, hood shocks, and a couple of plastic trim pieces, oil, etc. There was nothing major. The original Speedline wheels had some curb rash and crazing but Porsche had a couple original sets left! So $14,000 later, the wheels and new Michelin Pilot Sport tires are perfect. The original window sticker, keys and pouch, and manuals are all in the glove box. With the last few low mileage cars bringing over a $1,000,000 and a 30,000-mile European car with plenty of paintwork fetching $760,000, this is the deal on a Flachbau!

Not a bad deal. A unique car no doubt and you have the bragging rights that it has the most miles on a flachbau.

I don't get the comment on his dent guy not touching the fenders. I don't believe they were aluminum.

Curious to see what this sells for. Leak down numbers are fine but that many miles on a turbo engine without a rebuild is a ?

Yes it is, looks very different depending on the the light source, somewhere between metallic Blue and Deep Green.
