im in the same boat. I listed mine a few days ago on a couple fb groups, I already am second guessing it and have been hesitant to list it on the forum for this reason. It’s hard to decide, prices are at a all time high but so is everything else.
exact same with me. Thankfully the wife is supportive. I’ve had many cars and she knows I really like this one. She’s the one trying to talk me out of even considering selling.
Don't sell it yet...we still have to meet for lunch at some point!
Glad your wife is supportive. The purchase was met with "signifiant resistance" from my wife. She thinks the car is too low and doesn't even want to ride in it and would rather take her convertible Beetle places. First time I have had a car payment in years. From her chair the $1,500 buys about $300K-$350K of house on a monthly basis or membership dues at another golf course. I can't argue with those thoughts given what I laid out on the "$100K toy" topic.
yea im glad she is to. I get where yours comes from but sometimes we need toys.

I honestly don't have plans to actually sell it, I just listed it for the I don't want to sell and price to see if anyone wants it more then me lol.
Dropped it off at the dealer for a creaking or groaning sound that seems to come from driver's side rear, bushing or something in rear wheel steering or rear suspension?? CPO up in a month so hope they find something! Otherwise it's been bulletproof.
Semi-quick fix on my Turbo... On Saturday, I lost most of my boost. Any significant amount of throttle would result in a 'whooshing' sound from the rear and a maximum of .2 bars of boost. On my 996 Turbo, a quick boost pressure check would be the first thing I did, but not so easy on a 991 unless you buy a couple of hundred dollars worth of lower boost hoses and immediately cut them in half so you can clamp in test plugs.
At any rate, a thorough visual inspection was done and @Beezupra spotted the culprit, the hose connecting the y-pipe to the throttle body had become partially loose on the bottom side and was loosened, re-seated, and torqued.
Ultimately, seems like it a relatively easy fix, though some re-assembly is now required!

At least you didn't blow out your stock Y-pipe!! lol.
