Here's an interesting car;

People look afraid to bid on this car because the milage, but this could be a very good car! Curious what the final bid will be.

looks kinda rough underneath and the interior leaves a little something to be desired, but would make a sweet car for someone whose handy and wants the "S" touches.

Nice to see someone actually drive one of these.

I'd daily drive that in a heartbeat. I always thought the point of those exclusive options is for someone who's actually using the car on a daily basis, all the leather touches go to waste if you're not using them. I'd highly consider trading up I just crossed 100k miles this last weekend. The most I'd pay a premium for an S is maybe $40k, which I know isn't the market these days, but what I would pay. I don't care how few they made, they're more or less a Turbo with all exclusive options and 30hp. In my opinion, the standard turbo looks better, I don't love the aerokit. I do love the side vents though and the leather though at the end of the day I'd love to drive this one. If I ever come into serious money, I'd pick up one of these or a 959 and put snow tires on it and use it as an all season car. There will always be the majority left in museums and collections so I wouldn't feel guilty using it.

The woman I bought my Turbo 3.6 off of used it as a daily driver since 1994. Rain or shine, it was her only car. Everytime I saw her driving it I always thought that she was the coolest woman ever.

I remember years ago a woman who drove her Turbo 3,6 in orange every day, left me wonder how she could afford such a beauty beast, she kept her until 1995 when she repleaced with a 993 TT again in orange and the game get started again day by day
now she is very old, can't drive anymore, but she will not sale the car.
To some speculator she said that she will take her in grab

Took me 11 years to convince the owner of my car to sell, she always said she would never sell. I asked her every time I saw her and finally wore her down. She was getting older and it was getting harder to own this car as her only car. I helped buy a brand new WRX as her replacement car. She is still the coolest old woman I have ever met.

It is nice to see someone who actually drives this.

Quadcammer

To me this car has maybe a 20k premium over the standard 993TT.

Collectors want super low mile cars. In terms of driving, the TTs is basically no different. Since it will likely be of very little interest to collectors, the premium is really just due to rarity (who cares) and the extra options (which are meh in my opinion)

TrackDays247.com

Yeah, true. Give it 20 yrs and maybe a time warp continuum will happen when THESE are fully restored and valuable for a few years...

Original paint almost always refers to the top portion or everything but F&R bumpers and rockers depending on how they factor into the design. So metal parts primarily.

I would say $200k is too much but with cherry low mileage S's bringing well into $400k I guess it is fair if you want one to drive. I know of one less mileage but had accident damage sell for $165k a few months back.

pirahna

Top bid of nearly $217k and reserve wasn't met. Wonder what the reserve could have been.

Adriaan

$217K looks like a very good price for the miles and quality of this car. Another dreamer who thinks his car is worth a million.
