Hi all,
So ive had my 996 for a year now, its my daily driver and so in love with it. don't think ive fallen for a car as much as my race car, as I usually change my mind after 6 months.
I use my 911 for everything, from the school run to weekend beach holidays and the yearly family centre parcs trip to the Eifel mountains, coupled with a few cheeky laps of the Ring. Its never asked for anything, and just had its service at the local OPC. Its going to be purring for many many years to come.
So my dilemma, I have two toddlers which spend a lot of their time in the back of it. they are now 1.5 and 3.5 years and growing legs much faster than I originally intended!!!
I was hoping to get 2 - 3 years or more out of it before they outgrew it but alas I fear the worst, certainly no 997 C2S and for their comfort sake id need to sell this summer already. The only way I could keep it is if its a weekend car but then id have to sell the race car to make space in the garage.
So the advice part after all the whaffle and my life story! What the heck could I replace it with!!!! :dont know:
Ive looked at things like the C6 RS6 avant, C63 AMG, V8 M3, V8 S5 etc just wondering if any of you have had a similar situation and what did you look at moving to. I want something exciting for the daily drive, but not be an absolute money pit & a pain to work on etc.
Ill get another 911, one day, once the kids move out!
Thank you so much in advance!
