We just purchased this ultra rare (1 of 39) 1994 3.6 Turbo S
from the estate of its original owner. This deal ended up being a
little more complicated however as we had to purchase all the
classic cars from his estate to get this Flachbau. Now we all know
I love an honest car with a great story and this is it. The owner
Don loved this car; his best friend told me the car lasted longer
than his two marriages. Don bought it in January of 1994 from
Champion Porsche and he drove it! Just two years later he had
already 29,900 miles on it and he didn't slow down from there. In
2005 he had more than 155,000 miles on the odometer but then he
started to slow down, adding only 4000 more miles since then to
reach its now 162,700 original miles. Yup! You read that correctly:
he drove and drove and drove! This was my kind of guy. The original
paint is exactly what you'd expect from a car with this kind of
mileage but it is all original with the exception of a repainted
front bumper cover. Paint meters don't lie and this car reads 4.5
to 10.0 and it has all its VIN stickers on the panels. There are a
few chips and some peppering on the hood, above the stone guards
and the lower rockers, a couple of dings on the left fender (our
ding guy won't touch alloy) and that's about it. Killer patina
tells the story. The interior is very nice also and you only can
tell the mileage by the driver's side seat bolster and carpet (worn
through). We just serviced the car and performed a leak down test
because no records except the Carfax were available. The leak down
passed with flying colors revealing less than 10% on all cylinders.
The remainder of the service involved replacing a few sensors, hood
shocks, and a couple of plastic trim pieces, oil, etc. There was
nothing major. The original Speedline wheels had some curb rash and
crazing but Porsche had a couple original sets left! So $14,000
later, the wheels and new Michelin Pilot Sport tires are perfect.
The original window sticker, keys and pouch, and manuals are all in
the glove box. With the last few low mileage cars bringing over a
$1,000,000 and a 30,000-mile European car with plenty of paintwork
fetching $760,000, this is the deal on a Flachbau!
