I think we need to observe a moment of silence here folks.

No miles, no smiles...how sad indeed.

95 NC 993

With this post and your other one, all of a sudden my mind isn't on 993s anymore.

I wonder if the wiring harness and convertible latch recalls were done? That would be strange on a new car but still needed I imagine.

Even then this was bad "investment".

Assume original purchase price = $75,000 (optimistic as with sales tax it was likely more)
Assume no storage/insurance/basic maintenance costs (also ridiculously optimistic)
Assume sell after 25 years for $100,000 (and no tax on gain - which in real world today = 20%)

Actual annualized return? Slightly less than 1.2% Factor in inflation, taxes, storage costs and this deal was a loser for the OP. Buying relatively high volume production cars as investments just doesn't work IMHO. Drive it!

Cactus

I wonder if it has the original gas and oil?

Nice but weird. Would like to have it, but would want to drive it......... so shouldn't have it.

Based on the recent trend in sport seat prices, those are worth about $25,000.

That is child abuse!!!!

I only got 3.7k for my sportseats with 28k miles. Maybe I should have held on a little longer.

Total Mileage is probably from the dealer and back for service!!

If i had unlimited cash, it'd be nice to have a essentially new 993. That said, the second you start driving it, you are literally lopping thousands off with every 1000 miles.

Not to mention I can't imagine all the dry rotted stuff on that thing.

dumb dumb dumb and sad.
A terrible "investment", and the damn thing has an oil leak.
Did you notice the bit of wear, lines on the leather from being compressed while driver enters and exits, on the driver's seat (not the upright bolster, but on the bottom on the door side). Someone has enjoyed (only) sitting in it or probably letting friends sit in his pristine "investment" automobile. ....Sad.

Yeah, I know some one who did that with an anversery Corvette, would not let dealer PDI the car so it was still in factory plastic and was trailered from the dealer.

Not sure exactly what happened to the car but the guy fled the country because the feds were after him for stealing titles.
