Those Sill Plates on entry are awfully scuffed up for “4K Miles!”

Honestly, I don't believe most low mileage 993s. If I were to pay a premium for a low mileage example, I'd want great documentation of the car.
These odometers break easy and some crooks most likely pull the cable. When you see cars with excessive wear that doesn't match the mileage. Hmm...

My thoughts exactly! Way too easy on these cars. Especially in this crazy feeding frenzy!​​​​​!!

Good catch! Smells awfully fishy for sure! Would love to see those maintenance records proving the mileage year to year and the story…….

Looking at the carfax- Car was last purchased in AZ and assuming shipped to Ill for service by new owner. new owner then I assume ships to Florida ( 1290 miles away) and it's serviced there- WHY if you're planning to keep the car in Florida does it go to Ill first? If it was truly shipped that's a LOT of wasted dollars to send this car all over the country. If it was driven to Florida from Ill- the mileage is definitely not correct.
Doesn't look right.

Original seller poster here quite a bit during his brief ownership. Wonder why he moved on.
