Epic fail. Worst investment of all time.
Eventual sale price << Price + yearly maintenance costs + storage costs + lost opportunity cost (ie FUN with car)
--> negative ROI

You'd have to hope/assume that the guy didn't buy this car in the hopes of not driving it and selling it at a profit in 2011. Presumably there were some other circumstances that led to this. Obviously a horrible ROI, but again, I also don't assume that the circumstances that led to this were a guy saying "here's a good idea for a solid investment...I'll buy a new Porsche, park it for 15 years and then sell it!"
Just my $0.02.

Nice car
Agree cars are made to be driven......that car probably cost about $ 72-75K in 1994/5....
BUT......somebody who actually wants to drive a car everyday is going to get a great car for about 50K..............what else can you buy that is that great........ 1 or 3 series BMW cab....Audi A4, stripped Boxster...........

Reminds of a local Dr. with a 993TT with less than 200 miles on it. He used a flat bed to pick up the car when purchased new. He also bought the house next to his and remodeled it to display a few cars on turntables (including the 993TT).

Ordered by a private collector new back in 95, the car has only been driven to and from the Porsche shop for it's yearly service. The car is 100% original with absolutely no flaws! The car and it's parts are so original, most hose's and rubber elements still have the white powdery residue on them. This car is truly a time piece and just maybe one of the lowest mile 993 in the world.

I will never understand this business of not driving the car, but... I once worked with a very eccentric and an extremely interesting guy, a brilliant mechanical engineer who, among other things, rode in a motorcycle with sidecar with his wife and about 9-year old son from very north to very south of Africa. He also casts small black powder guns and shoots them and daily drives a 1972 LandRover right out of "Gods Must Be Crazy".
So he had a 250GT sitting in his living room for about 20 years as far as i know. Had to take the side of the house out to get it out when it was sold. He considered it art. And, to some extent, I understand him.

A car is worth only what the market will bear. No more or no less.
What he thinks its worth and what is will actually sell for are 2 different things.[/QUOTE]

"Price. A fair price. That's not what you say it is, and it's not what I say it is....It's what the market will bear. Now, there's people...and I know 'em...who'll pay a lot more that $25,000 for a healthy baby. Why, I myself fetched $30,000 on the black market. And that was in 1954 dollars."
