Thinking about selling my toys for something else...

Why in god's name would you want turbos on your 911 unless it's a TURBO?

I know, torque and power and torque and power but urrrrrrrrgh it's just another car at that point.

Someone above suggested 997 GTS, now I am a huge fanboy of the GTS, really would love one but prices have gone absolutely insane vs a nicely specced 'S', they make zero sense.

Random idea, Alfa 4C, dead set loos like it wants to fellate you.

I got my “undesirable” heavily optioned $134k MSRP PDK convertible 997 GTS with 15k miles and Fidelity Platinum warranty for $82k in July. There’s deals out there just need to find them. Most people’s asking prices are 10-20% over actual market value. Offers buy cars, not asking prices. Personally I’d rather have the top down option than the better looking coupe, so if it saved $5-10k that’s even better to me.

Would love an R8 - but I'd need the older gen with a manual.

Needless, laid the groundwork with the wife. Planted the seeds, let her know the costs. Once she said no and was done laughing, I wisely moved on to a different topic. Takes a little time, not my first trip around the block.

My wife didn't believe me on how insane NEW R8 pricing is so I showed her. She almost had a heart attack.

They are constantly listed on BAT & C&B.

My friend that had one years ago is the whole reason I want one. Wish he never let me drive it LOL. He paid $36k for it. I forget what year. No, it was not a problem car. Clean title car with no problems etc.

That seems reasonable enough on the surface, but the engine and transmission requirements for rebuilds/servicing are usually pretty insane, requiring major mechanical work, dropping the engine/subframes, or changing out parts that would run 10x longer in a mass produced engine. I always wondered how they could make these insane numbers...but then I learned about the required maintenance. Make sure to factor that in.
