I had a friend trade in a commuter car that he financed, and he referred to the residual value of the car as "profit" in the deal
I think that's about the level where most people are honestly functioning.

Some people will say that casually when they mean the selling price was the same or more as the purchase price... People don't mean it as a business model, where costs of operation, inflation, cost of finance, etc all need to be less than the sale price to make money. I have almost never bought an enthusiast car, and sold it for less than I paid. My aircooled 911 has been in the garage 10 years and has tripled in cash value over that time. I'd guess with insurance costs etc, I'm probably at break even on it.

The GT3 Touring does NOT have a PDK. The only way too get one is with the 6 speed Motorsport Manual.

Yeah people are very negative and delusional on this forum. But without all the hogwash floating around what else would fill up this forum hahaha Saying you have never lost money on a car you've bought is a fairly insane comment even for rennlist standards, but i dont care, dont know why anyone else does
I mean I am a full blown criminal on this forum. I DD a 991.2 gt3 rs which is allegedly disrespectful to how special the car is whatever dafuq that means. I didnt get a lift, i didnt get leather, I got bose, I got silver wheels, no PCCB, who gives a F, I have fun.
Just go find the car that puts a smile on your face. If you want to minimize cost something less maintenance prone and rarer is obviously the choice.
My 2 cents, if you are not going to drive it too much a 996 gt2 is imo the best buy on a porsche today. Those will be worth a lot one day and have some torque you seem to like. Other than that I dont know what high TQ manual porsche u can get and drive a considerable amount that's newer will hold its value honestly. Maybe a used 17 gts or 997 turbo you wont get too reamed on resale
good luck

The Ferrari forum must have a better crowd to hang out with? More established and wealthier?
"NEVER LOST MONEY ON A CAR I HAVE OWNED".
Do you give seminars?? I'd pay $100 to learn more.

I did not mean to offend. I wrote that post under duress. It's been that kind of day. We're all idiots. Or at least I am. Disabled people are pure beings, far better than your average human. Trump is a Russian asset, GT3's at MSRP rule. Roll with the MSRP new car over a taxed used example, like the pony i'm trying to sell. Or at this point not sell.
