Holy Toledo! 520,000 miles?!? Wow. That's amazing.

Thanks for posting this.

That's great! So does this mean my 103k 95 now classifies as a garage queen...:rockon:

I think he's going to have a tough time "letting it go for $18,000 firm"

Soooo cool. Nice to see someone that got there use out of it. Now buying a used one with that many miles.... I'll pass.

Call me crazy but a Porsche with that many miles might be more valuable to someone. Maybe not from KBB values but from a collector point of view who would continue to drive the car, it could possibly be a valuable conversation piece. How many people have 15k miles on their cars? Quite a few. How many have 520k miles? One.

I'll take that one step further.

Buy it, drive it all the time, and then when it hits 1 million miles, call Porsche and have them do a press event for it. A great marketing idea for Porsche as to how sturdy and long lasting these cars are, and I bet you'd easily be able to get Porsche to cough up a new car for you for free to commemorate such a rare occasion. Many other car makers have given away free cars to their owners for rare high mile cars.

No clutch, top end, no engine rebuild until 496K miles?
 
Interesting. Lot's of highway use?

I'd sure like to see that car in person and drive it. Looks good in the pics and lots of work done to it.........wonder how it feels?

Richard Drew, keep driving your 96 C4 Cab! Might need to drive it more to keep pace to this guy.:thumbsup:
