congrats and the market is indeed strong. for comparables , i looked at a german exotic car dealer and their 993TT price ranges from 80-100K Euros with much higher mileage like 100-150K km so US prices are still not too bad if you think about it that way.

IDK anymore....don't feel bad. For whoever purchased this... they almost can't drive it. What's going on?

Now we can't drive 50k mile 993 cars anymore? Next its 75k cars. Almost would pay to garage the 993TT then go buy a used Nissan GTR & beat the crap out of it.

lucky bastard. still looking at a foot of snow to melt in front of the garage to get mine out. Not to mention the tank traps aka potholes that are out there.

Why can't we drive them? Try to think about it the other way.

You paid X for a Y mileage car. Go drive it like you stole it and you can still sell it for X after you put on Z miles. Remember now that prices are going up on all of them the size of Z is getting bigger. A good investment in my mind when taken by a smile per $ investment.

If you don't drive your car to get the most out of it, I assure you, you are not getting the most out of it.

Of course this is coming from someone that has only put 900 miles on my TT in 6 months (but they are the rainy months so not too many good driving days)

Warms up anymore & I might consider driving car home. Thanks to all for the warm congratulations, didn't buy the car for a garage queen at 53K (Spokane Porsche and BMW both have multiple track days--& ,if I get enough energy, I'll try the '65 in the area vintage meets) gotta do something when one turns 68 yrs young. Again, thanks for the welcome SL

I see both sides here. I feel like I've been getting paid to own my 993 and have used up a portion of that gain to put miles on the car.

On the other hand, I just bought a 997 Turbo S which will see a lot more miles and reduce the miles I'm putting on the 993. The 997 was less expensive than the amount I think I've made on the 993.

Also a good color combo. Seems like a lot of cars from the '90's had gray or brown interiors. Black interior is rare on a 90's red car. Good buy, enjoy
