Where have they all gone? Have all the low mileage cars been put away now by investors hoping values will continue to steadily rise? If you can find a proper car with low mies they are north of 60k now. Safe to buy one at this level? Obviously a Turbo S would be top of the list, lucky to have had a manual 997 Turbo in 2007 for a couple of years so the S would be nice just can't dig deep enough to buy one to use infrequently

You're not having mine!

I have to drive it up to Cambridge tomorrow. Damn shame cloud9

Actually it might just be a function of time. Ones that have been used will now have higher mileage (mine is on 68k) and the ones that have been kept as garage queens are probably going to stick given the rising values. Why sell now if you aren't driving it and don't need the money?

I purchased mine 3.5 years ago and have driven 90000km including quite a few track days. It is, and will never be, a garage queen. I'll be adding another 1000km tomorrow as part of a European road trip driving
