Default 100,000 mile 993 TT

It's obvious low mileage TT's are going for huge money. What would be the market for a 100,000 car?

Less huge money

Depends much on condition, color, options and service history.

Wow. 100,000 miles over 17 years is less than 6000 miles per year. On a regular car, that would be VERY low mileage.

These aren't regular cars! The paradox is weird huh?

I would expect $65k if no ax, no oil leaks, no paint issues, decent interior, excellent butt-in-seat test drive performance; no warning lights. Mine has 73k and it isn't going anywhere for less than 75k$

Agreed. Plus expect to still sort out small potential issues like suspension, A/C and door pull to get it to 100%. An additional premium would be paid for clean cars with sport seats.

My friend tried to buy this one and it was another competitive buying environment, someone else got it. As you can see it sold within a week so I'm guessing asking price wasn't an issue.

I will pass the 100K on mine this year. Only cars I will trade for is a well sorted 996GT3 or a 7.1GT3RS plus cash.

I would rebuild that 100k car with a Stage 1-3 kit & Mods, I Thinks that's a Car where you'd get a little back for doing it, I Have a 92 Turbo with 134k Miles, 2-3% Leakdown at 133k, Totally Modded, just about everything you can bolt on, done right, It Hauls *** & looks like a 30k Car, Knowing the condition & Every little thing done, would be hard to sell based on miles.
I have a Couple low mile stock cars that are my IRA, & drive this All the Time, no worries about Mileage.

In the rest of the collector car world, mileage recedes rapidly in importance relative to condition as the value of the car increases. No one cares what the mileage is on a Type 35 Bugatti, with the rare exception of the occasional 'survivor' car.
the interesting thing is the relationship between values and mileage is not a linear one: Once you pass a certain threshold, and it's different for every car, then even a total basket case has a certain minimum value. Jag E-types have seen an even greater updraft than early 911s lately, since the new record for an E=type is almost $500K. You could build a 95 point XKE for $2-300K so there is now a higher floor for all cars in the fleet. early 356 speedsters have always been interesting to watch since they are desirable, have a big fan base, but relatively speaking are a simple car that is cheap to restore.
Now a tt is actually fiendishly complicated with a awful lot of parts, so it will be a while before the rising tide lifts all the boats but on the other hand relative to the collector car world, they really aren't that old yet so it would be a pretty poor example that couldn't be rendered 'concours' for ~$100K.

But I betcha we are not far from the point where a completely re-commissioned tt showing 100K miles is worth as much/more than a minty 33K mile car... We just haven't seen it done yet because the economics weren't there this time last year.
