Must be the lighting as the driver's seat isn't worn. I just purchsed an original 993 Supercup and now have more car's than I can rationally justify. As the other vehicles (absent the Supercup) are more practical given my lifestyle, I am THINKING about selling the S.

supple leather, even in perfect shape, can look terrible in pictures.

I seem to recall considering this car when I purchased my Turbo S, is your TTS missing the front carbon fiber strut bar that should have Turbo S in silver letters?

My advice: DON'T sell it.

Nice car. If I was selling your car, I'd think aboiut doing a couple of small things that might make a big difference in price:

1) bring it back to stock to make it appeal to a wider audience. I don't see a lot that is amiss, but I think there a) is window tint, b) are non-S wheels, and c) is modest lowering. Even small changes irratioanlly turn off a lot of buyers who want to have the car as it came off of the assembly line. While they could make the changes themnselves, they want to believe that the changes never occured. If you do if for them, they can harbor that fantasy.

2) Get a good detailing. People think that if you don't keep you car perfectly clean that you probably don't care for it in general.

3) take more really good pictures.

I think that the car can go over 100k with good marketing.

Good points on the detailing and tint. I literally pulled it out of my garage and took the photos. I will have to look into the wheels. I have not changed them and I am relatively certain that they are the original hollow TurboS wheels. What makes you think they are not original?
