I'd like to borrow from KAS750 when he was one of us 996 turbo owners and suggest a pact with fellow current owners.
And that is no more '996 turbo price talk'?
Even further. The reward for any '996 turbo price talk' is the 'Paddle of Rebuke':
Deal...?
I bought mine to use, enjoy and mostly, :driving: Sure I worried for a while, (I'd never owned a car that's appreciated before....I panicked! So in the words of Thom Yorke 'For a minute there, I lost myself' But now I've remembered why I bought a supercar you can use everyday. To, we, use, ahem, everyday.
So it's at 68,800 as of last night. Which is 25k more than was on the odometer last May when I swapped my 90k miler C2 for it. That makes 82k driven in 5 and a bit years. Wonder how quick I can get that to 100k* :grin:
Therefore IMHO if you want an investment look at gold, London commercial property (or outside London residential), shares in Sub Saharan African high tech manufacturing start ups or old people homes. All are pretty good bets**.
Porsche's post 1978 ought not to be investments. They are the usable enthusiasts 'classic' of choice IMHO :thumb:
EDIT:
*which is probably about a quarter of what Infrasilver has driven in the same but it's not a competition.....
**Or not. Clearly I'm nuts and have no clue :lol:
