Hi all.

Looking for a low mileage 993 convertible, must be auto trans. Open to colors and options.

I am aware of the ones listed on the normal sites, looking for others that might not be on those.

Thanks!

What is low miles in your mind? A lot of auto trans cars seem to be drivers since collectors that keep sub 30k mile cars usually buy 6 speed coupes. Either way, good luck.

Preferably under 40k miles, but of course well maintained examples with higher mileage would be great.

I know there's go to be someone hiding one somewhere.

Disagree - there are LOTS of low mileage tip cabs floating around. My theory is that it is a combination of: (1) bought as a weekends and nice weather-only third or fourth car, sometimes kept at a vacation home, so not driven daily; (2) not very fun to drive with the tip ; (3) bought by the husband for the wife, but she likes driving her other (more comfortable) cars better, so it sat undriven for most of its life.

Some examples:

^Agreed. But the OP said he'd searched the normal car websites and I assume has seen the links you posted. It sounded like to me he was looking for a Unicorn, held on by a collector that isnt posted for sale currently. Whatever the case, he will make someone very happy with his requirements and the price that will follow.

You may already know about this one given it's on eBay, but it's going to sell today (no reserve.) Will be interesting to watch for price info. Interest doesn't seem very high so far (one bid)

Thank you yes aware of all these, called on the ones that match what we are looking for.

Correct, although not quite a unicorn but something along those lines!

Thanks, PM'd back.

Thank you not enough time to do due diligence but looking for what it sold for maybe should have just bought it!!!

Hopefully with seasons changing more convertible examples will be coming on the market.
