Yes .. I agree. Drive it for 10 years to 300K and then restore/show it or sell at a profit.

Maintenance and records are far more important than mileage.

I bought my first 911 (1986) with 175k on it...much like this car, 1 owner, wide-bodied, white...no trouble. I bought my 993 with confidence when records that showed a top end rebuild, suspension and a clutch already done before I bought it at 88k.

Why to buy highlighted:
1998 Porsche 993 C2 "S" - $32500 (danville / san ramon)

Unless that car had a proper top end rebuild, the pricing is not exceptional. Great car for someone who likes to wrench. And at a better price.
