Okay, that made me chuckle...

Interestingly, only a couple people have asked how much my 996 cost (most of the general public can't tell a 964 from a 991). However, people frequently ask me what my 914 cost or what it's worth.

I've been asked the question a number of times. I generally tell them it was a gift from my wife and say I don't want to know the cost. I remember telling a neighbor the truth once and he let out a long whistle, informed me he could have acquired my car for a lot less and then turned and walked away.

I know I know! It is very simple, I tell them to ask Siri

Zohan's remark is funny, but it's quite true.

You guys are kidding yourselves. No one really looks at these cars. You can't tell a new one from a ten year old. Besides there are so many around. Keep in mind 30,000 of these suckers are built every year and 70% of all 911's are still on the road. So really, is this car special?

Relevance to the OP's question?

I usually say "around $45 per pound" or "no idea, it's my wife's".

My standard answer is to simply say "A LOT" while smiling. They get the point.

I'd say the 911 in all it's forms is probably THE single most iconic head turning recognizable and inspiring car for over half a century. Nothing else comes close. Their certainly are more flashy and gaudy cars (the Lamborghini Countach is IMO the ugliest car ever made) but nothing out classes a 911. Nothing.

A lot of that depends on where you live too. If you're out in the boonies like me. You might see one or two driving through town a year.

Seriously? Proof positive that everyone has an opinion - no matter how wrong they are. Sorry pal, not trying to hate but you are way wrong on this one.

This is priceless...and so true.

When I answer, I'll have to say that it cost me my Corvette, my Challenger, my Harley, and my BMW (bike)...

So the average car buyer can drop 100k plus on a car? Obviously, you don't own one.

Those of us who do own a 911, know how special they are. I could give a rat's *** about anyone else's opinion but mine. I stopped buying cars to impress people many years ago. If I was concerned about whether or not people were looking at my car I would have bought a lime green Lamborghini.
