Default Want to buy: 993 Turbo higher mileage daily driver

I owned a midnight blue 993, but had to sell it quickly over a year ago to invest some money in real estate. I miss it terribly! It was in mint condition and I was never brave enough to drive it that much.

Now that the real estate investment is paying off, I am in the market for a 993 Turbo. All of the ones I see for sale are low mileage garage queens...I'm interested in a higher mileage 993TT that car be used as a daily driver. I'm willing to pay a fair market price for it.

Please let me know if you have one for sale or spot any others that fit the description. Thanks!

Define higher mileage - it seems to vary. :-)

I may know of one that has 52K(ish) miles on it. Black exterior color but I don' t know the interior color. SoCal car and my Mech(Mike Schatz) says it is in excellent condition. Let me know if you want me to find out more on the car(i.e. if its still for sale etc.).

Good luck in your search...it's exactly what I purchased...one that I can drive and enjoy to the fullest everyday and not give a damn about the "re-sale value". These cars are just too fun not to drive. I think RLer MSW has the right idea.

Thanks for all the tips guys! "Higher" miles to me means 50k or higher...almost every tt I've seen for sale has 5-50k. I've owned 911s with 200k that didn't feel worn at all, so even really high miles doesn't bother me.

As for pricing, I'd like to keep the price in the $50s or less but this is flexible upward too depending on condition.

There's a midnight 59K miler in Provinz. Sean used to be on this forum. Call 905-541-3331. It's in nice shape. He'll want over $50K.

By $50s I meant $50,000 to $59,000 just to be clear. Thanks for the tip Ronnie.

Hey Sean: I didn't think you would be selling this one ....... Are you moving to an older model Ferrari instead?

My farm is for sale and I m not sure whether I ll have room for a 3rd car in my new place. If I m wrong, I can always buy another 993turbo and I like searching for Porsches anyway. My biggest concern is whether I ll be able to find one with similar mileage in as good condition.
