While not PTS rare, Guards is among the rarer standard colors to find a 996 Turbo in.

And he will list it for like 60% over what he pays for it.

I noticed he has several for sale, it seems like these cars dont move much while in his inventory unless he just keeps the ads up for leads.

You don't need to move many cars if they're all selling for 30-50% over market.

With that said, I think he's earned a reputation as a premium seller, with the trust that comes with that (for what that's worth).

Ferrari 355 is another example of a coupe that is far prettier than it's open-top sibling...

Beautiful car and someday not to far off that is going to seem like the deal of the century.

^ Agreed, it is also interest to see what mileage is now considered "collector grade". It used to be sub-25k miles, it has now creeped up to 35k or less.

pirahna

I just turned 36k miles, I missed it by that much.

autobonrun

I don’t know about collector grade, but the definition of low mileage needs to creep up as the cars age. The 996 TTS is now 17 years old. I definitely consider 2k miles a year as low mileage. As an added benefit I don’t have to read all the “that poor neglected car, cars are made to be driven “ comments.

I thought 17k was the holy grail?

pirahna

Nobody's going to want my hooptie.

Carlo_Carrera

No worries, 45k miles will be collector grade soon enough.

Especially with your Ruf upgrades......
