My 89 C4 Coupe has 13,000 miles, bought it with 2200 miles
My 89 C4 Coupe has 13,000 miles, bought it with 2200 miles 2 years ago. It is perfect. I am not looking to sell, but if you really want a low mileage car, make me an offer that I cannot refuse.
1989 C4
Silver Coupe
Grey Interior
D90's with So3 tires (new)
Bilstein HD , Stock springs, stock height.
Newer Becker Porsche CD/Radio with harness by SW stereo (no cutting of original harness, original radio in Box in attic)
H4's installed (no cutting of wires, used pigtail cable)
Dansk CAT Bypass (CAT in attic), O2 sensor and all shield in place.
About to go in for 2nd valve adjustment and full fluid change/bleed.

Got my Turbo this summer with 19800 km, driving it home and driving it to service is the only driving I have done since buying the car - it now has 20500 km. When I bought the car I found it so special because of the mileage, that I want to keep it that way, so the car is a summer car and has a limit of 1500 km per year.
I found the car in Germany, and I think if you want a low mileage car try search mobile.de.

There are low mileage 964s... you're looking at the wrong sources. You need to get into the collectors ring and your world will open.
but just like my friend Nine11 said.. they're even better to drive.

I thought I would not drive my GT3 much when I went into the garage I could not let it sit. I now have 58,800 miles on it and continue to enjoy every loud, bumpy mile.

It's just finding the amount of time needed to enjoy these cars...that's the difficult part.

With all respect, I don't see the point of a low mileage car... Yes, some wearing parts will be 'newer' but the calendar affects many things on our cars evenly.. the rubber parts, paint etc... What I don't get is that once you have paid a premium for low mileage, simply by driving it, you will be depleting that one core value point...
Of course it all depends on what you have in mind. In my case, a well maintained car with 180K on it is just as good.. and I paid $14K... Yes I have to replace things like the steering rack, but for the cost difference, the miles for me are a point of pride in how resilient and enjoyable the car is.
(My $.02 that is worth less today than yesterday... )

These cars are for driving and the market is clearly telling you that.
If you want a GQ get a 993 or be prepared to wait it out for the 964 you want with the right mileage.
But I'd say screw the mileage and get the car you want at the right price. Times a wasting.
And as I like to advise people; what if there are no Porsches in heaven? Perish the thought, but it could be true.

It is a '91 targa w/54,551 miles. That works out to about 3,030 miles per year! It looks really nice with red ext., black int., tip, low miles and a pretty decent price at 25 grand. That is, IMO, just about the perfect 964.
