I'd say $9k sounds very good for any 951 with 74k miles provided it doesn't need anything. I'm seeing asking prices in the $12-14k range for similar examples. For a Silver Rose, I'd expect that in educated circles you could add another $1k or $2k -- for the right buyer. In the meantime, enjoy your car and thanks for posting. dc Hey Mike,

I have literally STUMBLED across a silver rose w/ 74K orig. miles! The car is in very good shape w/ only two very minor dents up front. I'm buying it tomorrow at a little used car lot where the previous owner sold it for somewhere between 4 - 5 K ! When I saw the car I knew it was special. The plaid "studio" interior was a dead give-away! I didn't have all the history on the Rose, but I learned quickly. I went to the dealership and checked the motor # and the "s" option code in the trunk by the spare tire. All checks out! Any reservations that this was a real Rose disappeared on the test drive however! I'm presuming that $9,000 is a pretty decent steal here - Please let me know if there's something I don't know about the Rose and perhaps what you think it may be worth unmolested as it is w/ 74K on the OD.

And with 49k miles versus 1400, I wouldn't be afraid to enjoy it. BTW, I watch your blog all the time. Great cars!

We just found this one with only 49k miles and one owner for under $13k. We'd go this direction unless you are looking for a museum piece. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/car/333820358.html We've always had a soft spot for white 944 Turbos since first drooling over this ad: http://www.msprotege.com/members/Brian%20MP5T/Porsche%20Race.jpg Amazing to find one with such low miles…
