Hello there,
I wonder if I can trouble you guys for a bit of slightly unusual advice...
Firstly, I have three small kids, so an not in an ideal position to be taking advantage of a car like a 911 right now. However, I do find myself with £15,000 or £20,000 spare in the bank and have half an an eye on the future...
My ultimate plan is to spend some summers driving around Europe etc in a 911, once that is, the kids have grown up and can take holidays by themselves. So my question really revolves around when between now and then I should buy? I know none of us can see in to the future, but I thought I'd ask all your advice as I have no doubt you've got a better feel for the market, past and present and a better understand of where it might be heading, then I have.
Would I be best to buy a decent 996 now, semi mothball if for 7 or 8 years until I'll really be able to take advantage of it, or should I perhaps just put the money aside and buy a 911 much closer to the time? Would I still be able to afford a half decent 911 then or are they likely by that time to be out of my financial reach?
I'm not necessarily looking for a car as an investment, but more just looking for the most cost effective time to buy a 911 in the knowledge that I won't really be able to take advantage of it for 7 or 8 years?
Hope that makes some sense and look forward to hearing some of your thoughts.
Cheers
Guy
