Spend $100k for most cars and you’ll be lucky to get $5k back after 18 years; buy the last air-cooled Porsche 911 Turbo, lock it in your garage and you might quadruple your investment…
Well, at least that’s what the seller of this 993-generation 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo with a shockingly-low 1,090 original miles (about 1,754 km) on the odometer hopes to do so on eBay, where the silver Turbo is listed with a ‘Buy it Now’ price of $389,000.
Currently in the possession of the official “Ferrari Maserati of San Francisco” dealer, it’s a one-owner car.
It reportedly comes “fully documented down to the California DMV registrations, original window sticker, and a special Change Order requesting the car be built with red seatbelts” and even the original tires from 1997 “with German air still” inside – you’ll probably want to change those if you plan on driving it.
The seller adds “the owner was so fastidious that not only has the car never seen rain, he emphatically states he never even drove it down a wet street” and that it will be delivered with a “file thick with original documentation”.
It’s no secret that 993s in general are highly cherished by Porsche enthusiasts, but is this sample worth more to you than a brand new $175,900 911 GT3 RS and a $182,700 911 Turbo S, or perhaps a $151,100 911 Turbo, a $130,400 911 GT3 and a $84,600 Cayman GT4, in your garage?
