Anyone wants to guess what would be the final and winning bid?

How utterly absurd. It must have pained the owner to even drive his car out of the garage to photograph it. What a sad, sad waste.

Its not the owner, I don't think as this guys seems to be a junker car broker if you look at his feedback. Mostly $4k trucks and such.

Just some sucker that got lucky!

Why is it a sad sad waste? Its his car, he could do what he wants. Maybe he thinks high mileage cars are a sad sad waste also.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't that the car that was at Sloan's a few months back? That car was also guards red with tan sports seats, and I believe 13xx miles on the clock. Still gorgeous. Imagine, you could still own a new 993 in 2008.....let's see at what cost!

Man, that car looks familiar. Mine has no dings either (knock on wood),but 58k miles and looking forward to 158k one day.

But I say to each their own. If the current owner doesn't want to drive his, fine by me. He paid for it. He can do what he darn well pleases.

+1....WE DONT KNOW THE CIRCUMSTANCES. The guy might have a good reason, and if not, its what he chose to do.

All I can say is SWEET! That's got to be one of if not the lowest 993 we've seen here for years.

I hope a RL gets her. I wonder what the seller can say about how this car was kept "up"? I wonder what lack of use and age has done to it if much of anything?
