Another school of thought is, if you enjoy driving your old air-cooled Porsche every day, and you can, then you're an idiot NOT to

I'm in the "Keep It!" camp. Will you ever easily find another 964 in the same condition with similar options? Realistically you already have the driver-quality car in it, so I wouldn't worry about trying to have a low odometer for the next owner's enjoyment. Maintain it and enjoy it.

I recently purchased an MX-5 Club for daily duties including winter fun. It isn't nearly as powerful as the 964 and GT3, but it has a fantastic transmission and suspension when fitted with coil-overs. This allows me to savor the Porsche drives on nice days. Daily driving them desensitizes the experience.

Keep the garage queen, sell the tired one and get a disposable, fun daily driver.

Nice to know there's the full gamut of opinion on this. My daily drive is on suburban roads, many fun. But it is in the greater NYC area and has lots of traffic, i.e. lots of texters driving SUVs. Maybe I need to start a thread on fun daily drivers...

A well-sorted 986. Still has a minimalistic feel similar to the 964 while being very livable day-to-day, and two trunks! Available in 2.5, 2.7, and 3.2 flavors.

What a lucky guy you are!! If it were me, I'd keep it. Sell the '91 and get a fun almost-daily that pushes the buttons for you. There's so many choices out there.
Do the 'reversible' mods you need to do to the 'garage queen' and drive it to your hearts content. Albeit a fairly 'rare' option car with low miles, the motor has been massaged a bit so it's not museum-quality so to speak.
You will regret it if you sell, guaranteed. Your ticket to years of pleasureable driving for the rest of your natural life is 'already' in your garage. How many miles do you expect to drive it annually? Even if you put 5k for the next 10 years, you're still under 75k!! Just my $ 0.02
Good Luck!!

no simple answer, but certainly a nice problem to have. it sounds like you really don't want to rack up the miles, so i'd say sell it if the funds aren't available on the other car. that said, that car is going to continue to rise in value - until only electric toasters are mandated for daily driving.

Same spec as my car. Non suroof C4 with rebuilt engine, 16" wheels, sport seats.

Mine has 165K miles. Every one of them enjoyed. Not all by me though.

One can not advise you wisely. Me? I would drive it. Everywhere. All the time. But I get my kicks from driving and maintaining, not from looking and oohing/aahing.

It does not matter where you live, it a plague nowadays. I was just out and waiting to turn left and cross traffic where a lady in her Suburban was at a dead stop in the middle lane with a green light so she could be on her phone, a car came up behind her at the 45mph speed limit and narrowly missed her by changing lanes at the last second. Last week, some hipster was in the lane next to me FaceTiming while driving. You can't fix stupid! Drive the 964, just be extra vigilant.

seems you can't win....but...you already have...drive it, qq

911Jetta

+964

C4 with 3.8, sports seats, and sans sunroof. That's the one bro!
You're really going to hate yourself if you sell it for a driver that ends up costing you money on deferred maintenance...
Since you already can afford to buy such a nice 964, buy a $4,000 Honda Civic as a backup driver.
You've already put a couple thousand miles on the car, continue to enjoy it.

I had a close call this weekend in my Spyder, driving 60 in a 55 this lady pulls to a stop sign and stops. I’m about 100 ft away and she pulls out! I get on the horn in hopes she stops before entering my lane and she just keeps going. I was going way to fast to stop and had to swerve around her. When I passed she had this look of shock like she never saw me.

It’s really no fun driving on highly traveled roads anymore, way too many idiots and distracted drivers these days.

these cars bring enjoyment when driven

to have a nice car and not drive it is missing the whole point imho

you own it you store it you service it you pay insurance and registration then save the enjoyment for the next guy? in the long run we are all dead

getting a dd makes sense if you don't want to put 'routine/no fun' miles on it on a boring grinding commute, or if your commute entails doing conference calls etc etc so you are effectively tuned out the driving anyways

^^^^ What he said. LOL. I usually rotate mine and will drive one for a month and then switch to another etc.
