Maybe you can find what you need here:

Doubt it was self control

There's many reason for the low mileage

Maybe part of a collection...

Maybe owner has unforeseen personal issues...

Maybe he was sick of the car and simply left it in the corner...

Maybe...

But I bet this dealer didn't obtain this example anyway near the $305k asking price

My Turbo has 17k miles and gets driven about 1k miles per year on average with
No issues. I try not to start it unless i can put it through a full heat cycle and avoid
Putting it away wet. Just disconnect the battery when not in use and it always fires up first time. Lucky i have had no rodents in my garage to contend with ; seen
Some horror stories there.

I think I found it... Is it a 1997 Arena Red / Gray originally from Seattle? I'm not sure I want to deal with importing a car.

yes it is. If you don't need financing, I think it is pretty easy stuff. Just find a broker... or keep on searching!

If you look on the left hand navigation bar, there's links to Bodymotion and Schneider Nelson Porsche dealer, I think a few on Rennlist have used them
(no affiliation)

And right underneath those, a link back to Rennlist

Thanks everybody. No financing required, but I guess I'll keep looking... It would be nice if something popped up in the Pacific NW or close by.
