If you analyse the market for WB 993, like I did 6 months ago, you'll realize, that 1 mile is at least $ 1, increasing up to 10 $ per mile when you get to 10K miles or less, up to 30 $ per mile when you get under 3K miles.
The only exception is for the 993s with tiptronic.
That's a fact in terms of simple statistics.
Other influnces are color and modification that are less appreciated.

I can’t help but wonder how these 50 percenters ever buy a Porsche made before 1981and the advent of Carfax. Do they assume that no Porsche made before 1981 was ever involved in an accident since it’s not indicated on a nonexistent Carfax report? Or would they not own a 356 Speedster, or an early 70’s Carrera RS, or a 79 930 Turbo because there’s no Carfax? I treat pre-Carfax and post-Carfax cars the same way as far as evaluating the quality of the car.

Carfax is often bogus junk, as been written about on this forum and in/on many other places. As a PCA Tech Tactics video talk revealed last year, reporting to Carfax is optional, at the sole discretion of the repair shop(s) involved.
As I've shared several times, stellar my '94 Corvette ZR1 was smashed big time in the front by a jerk who ran a red light 10-years ago. He immediately admitted fault, his State Farm paying all the repair costs, which were enormous. It took almost a year, with a very reputable "Corvette Specialty" shop in Portland to get it finished. The car should have been totaled, based on total costs. A Sheriff was on scene in Portland, OR as we were blocking a major intersection. A police report was filed. My USAA notified and remain involved,, but paid nothing.
Net Result on Carfax- ZERO, not a hint. Clean!.
This reality is blown over or not known by many, sellers and buyers, and yet a "Clean Carfax" is akin to the vehicle's being blessed.by Higher Authority.
Recall, in 1995 fuel prices in the U.S. averaged $1.30. That amount equals $2.50 in 2023 dollars. Yet, now we're often paying twice this amount, or more, and this has become part of the silent New Normal. Outrageous.
Caveat Emptor.

Just watched Ben Collins' newest video about this wonderful P-car collection out of Switzerland and Italy that's being auctioned off.
Up for auction is this pre-production 993 Turbo S, the first one ever built. Specced out to the gills.
https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/c...e-911-turbo-s/
Despite the high mileage, it should fetch a grand price.
