You have to love this, there is a 996 Turbo for sale, likely still running like a beast out of hell with 200,000 miles on her! Funny thing is it has just under 200,000 miles (245 miles under), do you think the seller thought, "I better sell her before she turns over to 200,000?

As I looked through the pictures, I was thinking the mileage has to be a typo. The car and especially the interior look too good to have 200,000 miles on them.

Then I saw the picture of the odometer and it really does have 200,000 miles on it.

That car was for sale at RAC for a good while also...wonder what the story is.

 

Looks well cared for! What do you think you'd pay for one with $200,000 miles? Could be an incredible track car!

 

Yes it was... IIRC they wanted low $30-33k for it.

 

Down to $27k now. Sliptronic too? Wonder if it's the original transmission?

 

what the hell type of a maintenance will it need at that mileage?

 

I actually gave purchasing it a thought. It was right when rac got it.

Looked really clean. I didn't like that it was an auto. High mileage plus auto equals disaster.

When they told me they were going to ask that much I said no way.

Granted it was kept nice but that many miles I can see anyone paying the 30k they wanted. I mean for 5k more you can get a third of the mileage!!!

 

Remember the old Toyota ads with the farmer next to the pickup truck with tons of miles, maybe Porsche should start doing the same with cars like this! What a testament to such an amazing piece of automotive machinery!
