Another option for the short-medium term: Buy the car back from the old lady, prep and place it into storage, register it non-op, and cancel the insurance. Saves you a big chunk of money to keep the car, while you finish up your obligations. Once you're able to support the car habit again, bring it out of hibernation.

Default Obamacare gonna lead to controls??? OT Big Time

Not so fast Grasshopper....It looks like more and more docs are going to the cash payment method....they have a rate for a procedure, you pay it upfront, or you don't get the procedure/office visit. This way they are not encumbered by health insurance administration. You want to be reimbursed? Give insurance the ICD9 code, or something like that, and you go after the reimbursement yourself.

Some docs are refusing Medicare as well as Medicaid and Obamacare patients. It's private pay with a "discount" for cash.

Exactly! Sorry, not feeling sorry for you. I sorta see (any kind of super or sports) car in your future. Be thankful you didn't have to wait till you're 60 to be able to first enjoy a nice car.

Default The doctor is IN

Here is your Rx..
1. Invest sale proceeds in quality low risk mutual fund VWINX to incubate for future.
2. Take two aspirin and call back in the morning.

Who wouldn't be depressed after selling their 993 but like others have said, you can ALWAYS get another one one day. And, it may be even nicer than the one you sold. Maybe you've always wanted another color combo or you can find one with 1/2 the miles. Whatever it is, just stay focused on your education and everything else will fall into place the way it's supposed to.

Not to be dismissive of your situation, but if this is the worst thing that has happened to you in your short time on this earth, you have lived a charmed and blessed life. There will be other cars. You have a lot of life in front of you. Go live it.
+3. I understand feeling loss when selling a car, it can be heart braking, but keep in mind how fortunate you are.

Finish School, pay your dues, and enjoy life. Once you are done with school, you will have mo problem buying another 993 later. Buying a 993tt, that's a challenge on a doctor's salary.

He did a full PPI for his family member which is the one who is going to own the car.

This.
And sorry if this is too serious a thought, but may I amend that these first-world "problems" can really play havoc on where we end up going in the long run. Keep the main things the main things and you'll find yourself rethinking words like "depression."

You poor thing. I couldn't get a Porsche until I was in practice for 15 years. You wont get sympathy here. Besides that precious thing in the back will cost you a lot more than a Porsche. That's where my money went. Now its my turn

Very true, just hard for me to let things go. Definitely not depression, but it was nice to have it and I was very blessed to have owned it.

not asking for sympathy, I work my butt off studying so I can buy my porsche with my money one day instead as a gift for graduating from my masters. Plus I paid almost all of it with the money I had from selling my previous car. It'll definitely be more gratifying at that point in my life :thumb up:


Just wanted to vent and express my emotion haha.

Thanks guys for hearing me out!!
