I didn’t have a low miles car, but I had a car that wasn’t driven much for years before I owned it. My car had 38k miles when I bought it but it hadn’t been driven for more than a few thousand miles in the previous 5 years of its life before me. Basically a garage queen. So the paint was beautiful, but the rubber was not in great shape. Maybe you’d see that in *any* 993 and I suppose that’s true. A car that’s driven and loved, however, ought to have had maintenance items checked off. Prior to me owning it, my car was sat in a garage and looked at.
Then there is the issue that a 9k car really hasn’t been driven. It hasn’t been shaken down, so it can be hard to really know what you’re getting. As opposed to a car that’s regularly driven and its warts exposed and addressed.
I’m not at all saying that all low mile cars are bad, but I suspect bidders are thinking that all low miles cars are good - and that’s a mistake IMO.

I bought my 355 with 11k miles. Had no issues and I ran it on the dyno and dragstrip. All great. I have an 11k mile LS400 that's just perfect in every way, not a single leak, noise, problem at all. Other cars in the past with very low miles, great as well.
Long periods of storage/disuse can certainly be a problem but like you said, not exclusive to low mileage.

Seeing all of these super low mileage, pristine 993s is great. But I'm interested in seeing some driver quality cars. I would like to buy a 993 (C2S) I can drive and drive and drive without worrying about a few stone chips or accumulating miles. Where can those types of cars be found?

They are still out there keep looking. Purchased in September 2021 under $90k USD. C4S, 98k miles, 6 speed manual, unknown accident on CarFax in 2007, half a dozen DIY issues that require attention, nothing major. Balanced by a high quality repaint in the original factory color, new Pirelli P-zero tires, runs and drives excellent

Holy crap... these prices are insane..... even If I could afford it, i'd never pay that much, 50-60 tops is fair, I guess you could add up to another 20k for the frenzy/hoarder factor.... but I don't want one that bad! what the heck is with people willing to pay crazy amount for things lately? wonder if it will fade out like the early 2000s hotrod craze?

Calling someone you've never met and know nothing about 'low life' or being clouded by 'red mist'... While we can debate prices going insane, let's keep it civilized. Shall we?

It's a known thing - I've done it myself. You get in a competitive frenzy in auctions and overbid. Happens all the time.
