I saw that article, but these photos are much more telling...Anyone noticed the cracked and apparently dry-rotted rubber bushing in the 10th photo? Wonder how many items like that will have to be replaced?

I must agree, a real low mileage 911 saddens me :-(
Unless it's the 997 Turbo I sat in at Sunset the other day. Mmmmmmm.
But I can't afford it, so it saddens me too. Scheize!

I guess I miss the point of a car like that. Relatively high production, you can't drive it, it's not safe to drive anyway without some resto, has minor defects like cracked turn signal lens (photo 4), and signs of some minor rust appearing. In hindsight the owner(s) should have taken lots of photos when it was new and then driven the snot out of it.
