My memory is fading, but hasn't this car been up for sale several times in the Northeast? Seems one similar to this was for sale in the NY area a few yrs ago. Don't remember the yr, but it was ultra low miles and this color red. Can't be too many of them around fitting this description. Maybe she's just being passed around from dealer to dealer, each one hoping to make some bucks, which would be sad.

But like they say on the auction broadcasts when an ultra low mi car crosses the block - do you now drive it or continue to preserve it? Obviously it would take a lot of $$$ and work to get this one road worthy, so leaving her as a show pony would be less expensive (after shelling out big $$$ for the purchase). Who would want to buy a "new" 986 when there are plenty of other fine examples available? Or you could continue to preserve it. But is a Boxster a museum piece? Certainly in our eyes but we're jaded (ask the guy in CT who wants to buy a 996). The only thing that makes this one unique is the ultra low miles. So what?
