This won't be nearly as interesting as the high mileage roll call, but it will be something.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my loaded 2006 CTT with 110k miles. Among all used vehicles in the USA I firmly believe it is the greatest value of price, practicality, speed, and luxury for someone that turns wrenches. By a longshot.
Last weekend a private sale 2006 CTTS with 31,000 miles popped up on Autotrader as I was researching prices. Garage kept, no accidents, single owner, coolant pipes proactively changed free by Porsche, and 40k service done. I hopped on a flight the next day to close the deal and drive it home. I paid way more than kbb but I only see ~1 per year at this mileage.
Having seen the other thread it got me wondering... who among you are sporting interestingly low odometers on your pigs?
And what is the max you would have paid for that '06 CTTS? (Silver/grey with tow hitch, sensors, and camera but basic interior)
I could not find a low-mileage CTTS with Panoramic Roof ANYWHERE. So, I got my 2006 Turbo tuned to 532hp with custom tune, Turbo S intercoolers, and Sebring exhaust with cat deletes. It sounds monster.... and accelerates like a raped ape:
Low miles is not necessarily a good thing. That why collectors like REV’s institute and Jay Leno regularly run their priceless cars.
where did the car live (NE cs SW), how was it used (towing an airstream up a mountain), who/how was it cared for.......these are things I pay attention to more than miles. I regularly tow race cars and occasionally enclosed trailer with mine. It’s doing great but it sure isn’t the Sunday drive by a Soccer Mom.
I once bought a car from a guy thst built high end RC aircraft. To say he was OCD is an under statement. And sure enough the car had everything in order to the highest degree.
FWIW I bought a 2006 CS that was 8 years old with 21k on it. All the plastic and rubber bits and the “engineered obsolescence” parts were all S....

I'm jealous of the pano roof! Do you have a video of the exhaust sound from inside and outside? Which cat deletes did you get?
My '04 currently has about 61K and it had about 50K when I bought it in '15. If it makes it to 80K, I'll consider it high mileage and it'll be time to sell and find a newer low mileage 958 or maybe a Macan. Hell, my 928 only has about 50K on it.
There's a beautiful '05 turbo on my local CL with only 27K original miles and it's loaded (pano and supposedly locking diff too). They want $22,900 for it. If it were not for the "engine lottery", I'd have no problem paying that kind of money. As it is, I wouldn't go after a 955 or 957 at any price that would sting if it turned into a 5500 lb paperweight.
2009 TTS with Pano roof and plush leather seating surfaces is currently at about 28,500 miles, bought in FL Spring 2016 with 26,000 miles and drove it home to SC, then it spent about 19 months in the body shop getting the widebody conversion, and a bunch of other mods while that was going on.
ipd plenum, HHR intake, Evoms Diverter Valves, FVD intercoolers, cargraphic muffler, Fabspeed secondary cat delete, and Fabspeed Tune - its a rocket.
Petza I'm loving that garage height; looks like a great workshop that I need in my life.How long do you expect to own it? How many miles do you expect to put on it?

Thanks. The first picture is outside my inlaws 2 car shop when we were over for dinner the other night, the others are in my garage, which is setup like this.
On the Cayenne, probably 5-6k / year and keeping it for as long as I can.

That's a rolling work of art. I hope you have a generous agreed value insurance policy on it.
