Under 500 miles is pretty amazing but also would scare me due to lack of use (none).
Leading evidence: 'Use (none)' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Air-Cooled brother needs your help.
I have started shopping hard for a 996 to compliment my 911. I am looking for something in the 20k miles range but came across this. What are the pitfalls when looking at a car that has basically no miles since 99? What do you think about this? Under 500 miles is pretty amazing but also would scare me due to lack of use (none).

Personally, if you want a low mileage car, I'd look for one in the 20 to 30k mile range -- at least then it's probably had an oil change or two and a service done to it. You will also probably save $10,000 or $15,000 by buying a car that has (slightly) more miles.
This is, of course, assuming that you plan on driving it. If your goal is to have the "newest" 1999, and you're going to park it in your living room, then you can't go wrong with this one!
That is crazy.....especially since the owner is selling it at this point. Great looking car, if I was in the market for a MKI 996, I would probably consider this one. That being said, I hadn't thought of all the small fixes that these seem to have needed in the first 10-20K miles that would now need to be done out of warranty...that could get expensive quickly.
Something is striking me as odd. Look at the tires in one of the pics. Look like Yokohama's or some other brand. The rims look stock.
Why would a 911 with 500+ miles have different tires?
That's what I hear. Anyone have any experience dealing with Sloan? Lots of gorgeous cars on his website.
BTW, my brother is seriously looking at the '99 996. And you think I'M nuts about low mileage cars - I learned from the master.
Not sure, I kind of like the idea of a super low mileage in a car that I really liked. At that price point, even with all the additional work (it may need) it may still make sense if someone was adamant about owning a totally perfect 996. Each to their own I guess.
But if I was looking for a super low mileage car I admit I would be more tempted to be hunting down one of the more "collectible" cars like a 993 RS for example. The 996 makes a great daily driver, and I guess most people looking to buy one would want to use it daily and as such not care so much about the mileage or virgin status of such a car.
