Nice time capsule car.
2nd owner who is well known as the investment advisor for Mr. Gates. [?]
I think similar 'degrees removed' from Kevin Bacon might bring in the Big Money from the sidelines.

Exterior

"The slate gray metallic paint is all original (as confirmed by a paint thickness gauge). Not only that, the clear coat has a brilliant shine as if never polished. As pictures reflect, car is amazingly straight down the sides with excellent panel fit and uniform gaps all around. There are just a few small stone chips here and there but no dents, dings or scratches. The top is in good condition and the rear window appears like new."

I am not sure, but 90s have single stage paint.....not clear coat.

When was the last time you saw metallic paint with no clear? Ford Cortina in 1973?

Carfax it - see what the first registration says.
Bill has Had a number of porsches but This seems a bit fishy to me. It might have been an advisors car but documentation would be nice rather than hersay.
Anyway mileage would be the value in this car not the ownership, unless it came with restricted stock anyway.

That can't be a Bill Gates product - it's never crashed.

+1

Does the On Board Computer ever get the "blue screen of death?"

Also, "...radio is a high end Alpine with in dash CD and an IPOD connector." Really Bill???? That takes the cake. A Bill Gates time capsule with an Apple attachment.
