Sure, it wouldn't have near-zero miles from new.

Oh, wait. There's a guy who posted just above me that kinda did that. And I've got a not-so-showy version of my own, thankfully paid for by someone else.
A. No.
B. I had 9m build a one-off, not available as new ... so I don't even remotely see the connection.
C. Money .. at least in these cases ... isn't the point.

+1 ....

I'd be a buyer ...... if only the options list had content. I mean how do ya forget to order the CD changer.... Some people. Where is the "child seat detection" option which my lowly NA 933 has fitted. I mean how is Mrs M. Schneider going to make an AM run to the liquor store with our daughter . . . .

A strange investment strategy....

The car is expensive, but it's the lowest mile 993 I've seen, and looks to be in dam near perfect shape. It is an investment car.

I wonder if it still has had yearly oil changes, and bi-annual brake fluid changes? I happen to LOVE speed yellow, but the interior is just a little bit overboard for me, just a little more black would be perfect!
This one beats it by a long shot. Better colour combo for me too.

Better than the yellow, but I don't really dig the black/gray interior.

I know why it is such low mileage. If my car looked that ugly inside... I would have only put 1,000 miles on it instead of 60,000.

Call me crazy, and naturally Im biased to yellow porsches but I love this thing. As stated earlier, its an investment piece that Im sure will remain in someones collections amongst a slew of other ultra low mileage Pcars.

+1 ..... The Black/black 993tt is a very nice understated TT S if that's possible; Maybe remove the rear Turbo S badges.
170 something miles .... Time Piece!

Holy crap, that's gotta be one of the lowest mileage 993's I have ever seen. The factory puts on some miles when these cars are produced, so they basically drove it to storage and that was it - astonishing.
