I think that proves my personal opinion that maintaining a high mileage car is dead money. It's also another example where a Hartech engine rebuild does nothing for the value. Everyone who digs deep for one seems to persuade themselves that they are adding significant value to the car. Once it's done >10k miles on the new engine any potential added value has ebbed away from what I see in the adverts.
Cheap 987. 2006, 106k miles, basic spec, £6500 from a dealer.

It's a great point and quite sad really as it discourages maintaining themCheap 987. 2006, 106k miles, basic spec, £6500 from a dealer.

I don't think there is a premium on it due to the maintenance , it'd be worth the same. It's bottom of the market due to mileage. You could argue the seller is better off leaving the engine and gearbox re-build out of the advert. Screams out the car has been trouble and cost a fortune to maintain over the last few years. It's par for the course for an old high mileage Porsche and enthusiasts may see the work done as a positive but the general punter would probably be more comfortable buying a high mileage example that was advertised as having never skipped a beat and been a joy to own rather than listing multiple major failures and what they cost to put right.

We'll never know and this is all guess work. I think it's just the mileage putting people off. Even if the list of stuff done recently was shorter I think it still wouldn't sell. Porsche buyers are very fickle. They always always want lower mileage. If that car had done only 65000 miles then it would have sold already. Scam alert, vol.2!
The other day I remarked how I had reported a scam ad for a 996 Turbo on Autoscout Switzerland. Well, at the behest of Autoscout the scammer took down the dealer photos he had nicked from another website, and replaced them with new ones.
Test your Porsche mojo. How can you tell that at least two of these new photos are fraudulent too? No knowledge of German required to spot the issue.

Seems that the interior pic is not of the same car - white dials in the interior pic and not in the rear 3/4 image, the wheels are turned in the exterior images but the steering wheel is straight, plus the mileage is lower than advertised, although you'd expect the ad details to be lower if fraudulent.
Not exactly Porsche specific though

Speed Yellow 3.2 ending tomorrow, might go cheap. Bit miley, and needs sem bodywork touch ups. But it's a good spec, it's had some useful maintenance, and it's Yellow!

I'm no expert but the reversed text doesn't look good
And rear wiper wrong way roundSo, this plank published mirror-inverted photos in order to hide the fact that the car shown in the exterior images is RHD, which in continental Europe would make it unsellable.
No idea why he would do this rather than just using stolen pictures of an actual LHD 996TT. Maybe a hare-brained effort to evade detection by an image-search software?

I, uh, didn't notice any of these things...
