Looking to add High Mileage 996 to my stable
What are your thoughts on a 1999 P-car with 135K miles? Is that too many miles for a track car only. Its priced at $15K and in great shape. What's compelling is then i would not have to insure DE like I do with my 09 today. Thoughts?

I think your reasoning makes sense. The 996 is THE car of choice for many of my DE friends looking for a dedicated DE car.
Not sure you shouldn't look for something with lower miles and in the 20-25K range but if the PPI checks out..why not.

Nope. Miles don't matter. How it has been maintained during those miles is what matters. If you plan to use it as a DE car, then you'll be going through and making it track safe/ready, which makes the mileage even less relevant.
However, I don't see the logic of spending $15k so you don't have to take out DE insurance on your '09. You can take out a lot of DE insurance for $15k.
