Both are 911 (993) Turbo S models - Why is there such a price difference? Is it "just" the mileage?

I know the lower mileage car has a mere 7K miles against a comparitively "whopping" 54k miles but is there something else I'm missing here?

The 7k one apparently had a lady owner, so it's had a new clutch obviously. Aside from that, a combination of the rare colur, low mileage and blind optimism equates to well over 80k? Other car looks like better value, and 54k miles isn't much for a 993 if the car has been well maintained.

Realistic dealer versus optomistic private seller?

Only 375 made world wide! A handful were made right hand drive. This was specially commissioned after the last Turbo-S model was made. There is not a mark on the body work. Smells like a new car. 1 owner, Cost £135,000.00 new.
Only driven in summer months

probably to do with a combination of things like rare colour and only 7000 miles but to be honest id rather save the £30k myself and have the cheaper one

Dont forget a touch-up job on virtually every panel on the car.

And it has had new footmats because the old ones were covered in nail varnish drippings, a few traces of which can no doubt still be found on the steering wheel and rear view mirror.

993RS LHD/RHD Spec.....is it a RHD Clubsport?

I know of a 4000 mile Mint 993 Turbo S, collected the car with the owner, as he handed over the deposit at the independent dealer the phone rang offerring a substantial profit to dealer and my friend, the car was 2000 miles then he has kept it, the ultimate Garage Queen.

The RS is not for sale for now i did enquired to the position.

You have no worry i am not looking for any new business for now and I have no intention of stepping on your feet..

So you still have the market place corner in rent boy service . Get some cream for the itching . You will fidget less if it does not Itch. Change of job would help long term .
