If this is true it would have to be the lowest mile 993 in the US, plus it has LSD and sport seats;

That car has been for sale for quite a while now. $75K? Honestly, not too many opportunities like this out there. If I won the lotto tomorrow, I'd buy this puppy, throw on some PSS10s and enjoy the feeling of driving a brand new 993.

I just don't really understand the point. Buy a car in 95 and pay 76k for it. Sit on it for 16 yrs not driving it or doing anything and sell it for the same price you bought it? Why?

I mean I could understand a low run car like a turbo s but this car?

CorrdoBrit

Given it another 10 years and the value should increase and make the storage/non-use worthwhile. Too soon to sell a car like this and expect to get reasonable return.

If a 993 enthusiast who had unlimited funds bought it, I think they might want to not use it, to preserve it's uniqueness.

But I also have difficulty understanding the point; absent the low mileage, it's not a collector car.

But it's always fun thinking about what you might get, if you had unlimited funds.

I have seen this car and it truly looks brand new.

Wait, hold on there. It's missing the little plastic cover for the nut that holds the pulley in front of the cooling fan. Those covers are not even on the Porsche parts diagram and usually not replaced when maintenance is performed. It's flawed and not worth $75K.

I always feel sad for cars like this. These toys want to be played with.

i dont know about that... why buy a P-car a like that and not drive it more than 128 miles? doesnt make sense IMO

this alone make me skeptical, look at the oil splash around in this picture, it just doesnt look "new." Everyone knows that a new car doesnt have that "orange" color to the steel.

JDHertz11

That steel is aluminum and it is coated with a cosmoline like substance at the factory. Many here have spent hours under their cars getting Stone(r)d on Xenit trying to remove it...

Considering the "supply" of these is so low (1), the price is not unreasonable.

To me, the limiting factor is not money, but space. It's essentially a dead garage space, so I'd want at least 2 more garage slots for my weekend drivers. The challenge is learning quickly about preservation, of which I know little. I assume that in a climate controlled environment that the lifespan of consumables like seals and other rubber might be extended. Probably needs tires, but as long as they hold air and you're not really driving it, the "preservationist" is likely to prefer the original dried out tires.

All that staring and not driving would be depressing and hard to resist.

Agreed you are buying a museum piece and need to treat it as such. Not really my cup of tea, I would much rather have a car that can be driven without worries of damage or diminishing its value. But for a collector that likes such things I actually think the price is reasonable.

It would be like having a ridiculously hot girlfriend/wife but still practicing abstinence. Geeesh!

Or maybe more like a strip club, you pay to get in/etc. You can touch a little, sit in her lap (or vice versa), but you can't take her for a ride.

Either put it in the Porsche museum or drive the hell out of it. Personally, I would drive it!
