20 - 21K possibly???
If it's a nice car, right person see's it who knows. What do you think its worth???

Have followed pricing for some 18months I have generated a little excel model which generates fair values. Use this when buying myslef last year and have kept in going as a a little hobbuette. Without knowing all key inputs and condition... model says £20-21 private. Add £2-3k trade.

Yes, and Henry at 911virgin has just started adding "recorded mileage" to his listings, which helps.
I wonder how much the mileage might put up a certain proportion of buyers.
When I was in the market for a 993, I looked at a number of cars with 90K+ miles and, whilst they were in good condition and mechanically sound, I still couldn't help but have one eye on resale and the effect that me putting another 10-15K miles on it would have on its value.
I know, objectively, that a 911 with 110K miles is no less likely to have mechanical problems than a car with 90K miles but there's this psychological barrier to a six figure mileage that even I, a relatively informed buyer, struggled a little bit with - so I'm almost certain that it will have an impact on less enthusiastic and more casual buyers.
Thinking of selling already, Nick? Or just idle curiosity? It doesn't seem that longer ago that I remember reading your post saying you'd just picked it up..... From memory, this was the car sold by Peak Porsche, wasn't it? If it is, I seem to remember it was up at quite a reasonable price to begin with, so I can't see you losing much (if anything) on it if you had to sell now.

I think its easy to get stuck on the whole 100K mile thing .. Mine hit the magic 100K this week and in a way its a sense of relief - now I dont have to worry how much mileage I do !
I commute everyday in my car doing some 400-500 miles per week and to me thats the way it should be - I dont want a weekend show queen that never gets used but always gets polished - 911's are about the driving experience - as Peter Morgan suggested in one of the Porsche Mags recently, dont get too anal about buying a 993 (there'll always be something wrong, however small, with most ..), but just be sensible and buy a well-looked after genuine car - and enjoy !!

Yes, Nick, it looks fantastic and the best time of the day to do a shot is when you did this one. The richness of the colour is great! As far as tan interior goes, seems to me to be an excellent choice which complements the deep exterior colour.[

Don't we all see dark blue, black, or silvers all the time?[] Can get a bit "˜samey' even with such a beautiful car as the 993.
