Sam and Justin - you two need to take this outside ;-)
All I can say is that, we've all been there! I have pondered this question many a times and like you don't owe any money on the car. That in itself makes you think... man I could spend $?K on lot's of stuff (translation - home etc). To date, I'm still holding out!
I hope I can say that after another year!
Good Luck!
Cory

Justin, when did you put that turbo decal on the fender? looks very nice.
Chris, don't worry, those of us that are selling will still have a Porsche. (well, atleast a couple of us even if it isn't turbo'ed)

that's a beautiful car, but there are more important things in life than a great looking 951. too bad i didn't realize that the first time around.
good luck with the sale, hope you get asking price!

Unaffiliated
I've got to say something, and it may **** off a few folks... Sorry in advance...
IF you live with your folks...
or
IF you RENT a house....
You probably don't belong in a Porsche. (at least one worth 5k +)
Here's the thing. In life, you need to earn, take care of yourself, provide the necessities. Once you do that, you can afford the extras (the Porsches, the toys, etc). First you need to put a roof over your head, food on the table and clothe your family. Priorities. I only say this here because I think maybe Judson is getting his priorities straightened out. I see a lot of kids who live in Mom's basement, got a Civic, and dump 5 grand in the car, when they should be putting a down payment on a house and drive a beater. Suckling off the folk's teat is no way to go through life.
Hidden in this thread I expose a beef I've got with a handful of listers. PRIORITIES. Yea, ya got a Porsche, but do you own any LAND to park it on?
IF your drive a low end car, and IF you don't dump tons of $$ into it, I understand and accept your decision to drive a cheap Porsche vs.a cheap Honda, no problem. But when you spend a lot of $$$$ on a wild *** toy and pay to borrow a roof to park it under, your priorities are askew.
Sorry, thanks for the vent, may we now resume a thread already in progress..

jud, you have an incredibly beautiful car. you've done many mods that I have contemplated myself over the last few years. it's good to see your car as a near perfect example of what I wanted to do. (splitter, door handles, mirrors, S2 wing) I've already installed the splitter, yet I wasn't convinced of the mirrors and door handles. I'm starting to have second thoughts...
personally, I can't get enough of the 951, as for me the car has a near-perfect shape. I've had mine for eleven years, and every time I contemplate possibly parting with it, I remind myself how much I'd miss being able to simply look at that beautiful shape, much less driving it. it's obvious that you put a lot of time, effort, and heart into your car. something tells me that you'd be giving up more than you'd bargained for
oh, and I can make those seats like new again

Dan, I agree with you, in Justin's case. He's getting married, and he will have many new financial priorities tied to that, if he doesn't already.
But I live with my dad, and I drive a 944, because it's my hobby, and I love it. I don't forsee buying land anytime in the near future, nor do I forsee getting married, because I don't feel like it yet, and therefore I do not prioritize those things. I realize I'm very lucky right now, and I'm making decent money to pay down some school debts, and to enjoy my car, and my youth.
The way I see it, life's too short to waste any time, and if you want to sell your car to improve your life, or keep your car to improve your life, you gotta do what suits you best.
My two cents.

Hell yes man. I completely agree with you. One of my friends put like 15 grand into this civc while living with his mom and dad. I just could not fathom doing this. I have a house with a 1000 dollar a month house payment ( to own not rent) and a truck payment and other bills adding up to over 2200 a month going out. When you are the only income in the house alot tends to rest on your shoulders. I have a lovely fiance and two great boxer dogs that I have to take care of also. Selling a car that I don't really need for daily driving to get extra money to pay bills seems to be a pretty good idea to me, but some may still not agree with me. -Judson-
