993 Biturbo minimum prices?

What's the lowest prices out there for higher mileage 993 twin turbos? All I can find locally is in the low 60s and up. But they are all garage queens! Are there any 100k mile cars with decent modifications out there for less? Aside from salvage title cars, do any of them break below 50k?

Thanks!

George

Excellent find. Too bad I can't get the pictures to show. I am not ready to buy, but seeing that they are out there in this range gets me quite a bit closer.

This particular car has quite some miles. Would be interesting to know if someone has been through the engine already? Of course, if you have to rebuild, its 3.8 time! (And yes, then you are up in teh 60s again!)

I want one too!

However, I'd spend a few extra bucks and buy one that isn't going to need work (I'm not saying the example above needs work, but a typical high-mileage car might). I thought repairing/maintaining my '79SC was expensive 'til I started looking into repairs for 993's! At least on my '79, I can do some of the work. Not so sure about the 993...



Then again, for $45 ~ $60k, I can probably turn my car into a 993 killer...?
