The history should be limited to mostly maintenance items ie: oil, the filters tires brakes air recharge.and should need absolutely nothing and be clean like new underneath with perfect everything everywhere. Mileage when used, not in or out of grocery stores or up the block to the club or sitting on a crowded expressway, but instead mostly highway miles on good roads preferably with at least 1/2 of the 50 K mlies ( 25 thousand miles ) being used on long trips ( 500 miles etc). Then it will be very similar to many of the lower miles city driven cars if they were not used in ideal conditions and driven properly on good roads away from crowded freeways and gravel trucks.. Of the two porsche turbo's I recently sold, the 87 with 30K miles, had most of the miles at 1000 miles at a time open road driving.
The other car 1979 turbo (your dream car Silver lobster ) had just 30K miles with numerous 1st concours placings since new and was used only on good days and driven mostly over country road however that was close to $50K. Both cars were sold to long time Porsche owners, guys that had looked long and hard with lots of airplane tickets to burn for their efforts, until they bought mine.( photos of both enclosed). So you see you can probably do better if you just look more ( i bought all these cars on the open market as advertised, although most quite a few years ago) and be ready to pull the trigger when a really good deal is available. Also I may have such a car for you to consider #P07 or "P04 on my website, if you like a little more umph. P04 being the quicker of the two. I do want to keep one of these two silver ones, for sure, however I do sell a few cars each year if it seems right. Oh, I do drive all my cars, under Ideal conditions as outlined above, at least 500 miles each year. Click my Pelican user name Voiture and then click on my home page for details.
