Default 2005 Turbo S with only 193 miles

Ummmm wow, but it looks like it was never serviced, and means no oil changes in 13 years? crazy

Saw this this morning:

I would hope fluids were drained before they created this 996 time capsule. What a shame it's like the Colin kapernick of porsches. No buyers and way to much ambition when you could buy the same car at Dax prices with better return.

Poor thing is condemned to sit out its entire life.
I do like that color.

Jesus!

beautiful car but when I was clicking the eBay link to see the price, I was guessing that the car would be priced high at $110k or something.

$270k!

seems about $170k too high!

A ever so slightly strong ask...lol

The $105,000++ 996 Turbo S that sold a few weeks ago at Amelia had 18,000 miles. Of note, it was a Cabrio. Haven't really seen a "museum" quality coupe (I guess you could call a 193 mile car that, right?) go through the auctions recently so I guess that Cabrio would be the best comparison.

Buyer needs to inquire when the tires were changed, if not 11 years may mean internal dry rot!

The issue is the 193 miles. I'm sure the ask price for a 996 GT2 with 193 miles would be higher. Mileage always carries a lot of weight, rightly or wrongly.

Hard to tell from the photos; is slate gray a little darker than seal gray? It looks the same.

I thought it might be Seal from the pic (I have a Seal), but yeah, Slate is darker.

Yeah, I guess I was way off with my $70k ish guess in The Prestige Thread. By $200k. That poor thing will never get driven. Thing is, just sitting in a museum, it really doesn't matter if the car has 193 miles or 193k miles. Reliability and performance will be exactly the same.
