Started weekly and moved in and out of the garage...'
....to ensure all engine wear occurs with no oil in the upper engine and zero chance to warm up. It would have been better to go for a one mile drive every week than to just start it up & move it in and out of the garage.

I'll agree with most people here. These cars are meant to be driven. I do store mine in the winter but I'll try to drive it a couple of times a week(average three to four thousand a year) when the weather breaks. We'll do frequent weekend trips with it. Even being stored, with only 90 miles there's things that will deteriorate after time. $90,000 is pretty steep.

If you paid that for a mint 02 you did ok. A lot of the cheaper cars have miles and flaws; miles you can't take off, and flaws that sometimes even diy aren't coat effective to fix compared to buying a minter at 19k or 21k.
I paid 10.5k for my 2000 XKR Convertible with 68k in January 2011. I did some repairs, new tires, tensioners preventative, repainted a fender and the wheels, eventually did fuel pumps, rebuilt front suspension, etc. It's really nice now, but if you paid out all I've done, you'd have probably spent 7k or more (did all but fender diy). A mint car would have needed less and probably less repairs over the same time than my car. I have maybe 2k in all those repairs and this car works for my circumstances.

Found my 2001 XKR last April with 24k on it. It was pure luck to find one with such low miles in Maine so I was even able to avoid any type of shipping. I paid what was book value at the time. It was one of 9 vehicles that the couple had. Guess it's tough to put many miles on if you spread it over 9 cars. I've since put 8k on it.

I believe I got a very good deal on my 2000 XKR coupe last fall. 26k miles $13k. Needed fuel pumps in short order and will need tensioners, water pump, thermostat and housing replacement. Would also like to go with a kenne bell twin screw setup soon from Avos.
This car gets a lot of attention and feeds my need for speed and handling. Have had it up to 145mph already. My supercar for 1/4 the money! I figure it will hold its value at least.
