Driver-quality Targa. Looks decent.

I think those high miles will chase off a lot of folks, but it might be that this is a good PML-style beginner Porsche. If the PPI checks out that it's mechanically sound, I think $17k is a decent deal in today's crazy marketplace. And I'm guessing there might be room to move at that kind of mileage.

The interior actually looks pretty damn good for a third of a million miles.

Great looking car.

You'd think the seller would provide more detail on the maintenance he's done. You have to assume it has been extensive to get to 350k!

The cool thing about a car like this is seeing how far it can go. its like a marathon champ. Buy it to daily drive, and see if you can get it to 500k.

Current owner loves the Targa, but has always pined for a Cabriolet. Hence, is selling the beloved Targa to buy a Cab.
So instead, he just put 300,000 miles on the car before deciding to sell it.

Very educational to see a well kept car with 350k miles. Looks nice. Worn, cared but not broken or neglected.

Compare to all the turds with 100k +/- miles. No documentation to prove. Broken odometers, FL titles. and all the BS.

Do you really believe the true mileage of all "those" car out there.


Something to think…….

That's the kind of car that eventually gets an article in Excellence, like Dave Buhain's 400k mi Carrera.
