Default Hola, 15' GT3 allocation confirmed! Now the real issue!!!

Well as the title states. Just committed to a 15' GT3 allocation.

November 21 build with delivery last week of the year or 1st week of 15'.

I have been lurking here for awhile pondering on the purchase. No more lurking. Hello guys and gals!!!!

My next big decision is to decide what car must go to make room for the new GT3. Do I sell my 04' 996 GT3 or my 97' 993 TT ???? I can't keep all 3. The 6GT3 is set up for track work and the 993 TT is my street play toy. Should I capitalize on the recent value explosion of the 993 TT? Will they go much higher? Decisions! Decisions!

That is a tough one, I don't think I could part with a 993 Turbo. Hmmm, If your plan was to track this it would be a no brainer but if your plans are not to track it then SELL THE M5!! The Benz can haul 5 people!

Personally, I would dump the TT.

But whatever you do, enjoy your new GT3. Congrats.

I would sell the 993 a great car but right now they are high and you never know when the bubble will pop.

She just passed thru 60k. Since my ownership I have spent almost 20k on preventative maintenance to the engine(re -seal a few leaks, completely rebuild intake system, Vaccum hoses, all rubber hoses, new clutch/pressure plate/ flywheel, new PSS10 suspension/ corner balanced/ aligned, etc etc. Basically I set it up for long term ownership in making sure the car was machanically tip top.

Ha ha, yeah I know. I had been waiting on the bucket seats to become available as well as the engine hiccup to be sorted. Once this was all sorted and available, I just had to.

Hit the bid on the TT while the market on those is so strong! Great car though. Would be a tough decision to sell I understand.

I agree, sell the TT while the market is so hot. It might keep going up, but if you're happy with the price you should take it and run with the money.

PS: Written by a guy that sold Apple shares the first time it hit $100 and then watch it run up to over $700...

sell the m5, but if you had to sell a Porsche, I'd sell the 996 and KEEP the 993.


BTW how about a pic of the Paul Smart? Very nice bike right there.

This ^^^. You will likely regret selling the 993.
