How did you get your car?

First one CPO, decided I really missed manual and searched for "right" 7MT for a long time. With the .1GTS holding values so well early this year, I ordered a stripper .2GTS in manual. Supposed to be Atlanta delivery in early august

Entered the lottery for a 60 year PCA car and won the right to buy. Wife said you'd be a fool to pass it up so I spec'ed it and bought it. Now it joins my '97 993tt and 2000 Box S as well as a well warmed over '95 S6. And as far as the money goes 1/2 came out of my "fun to speculate in the stock market" account and the other 1/2 was financed.

Had dealer search the country for a month for the one I was looking for (black, 7MT, deviated stitching, full leather, 18-way seats). Leased it and intend to turn it in as soon as makes sense for the next P-thrill ride.

With my first car being a 72 VW Beetle, learning the history of its designer and seeing an 80's era 911 Targe, I had always dreamed of owning one. 10 years ago, the closest thing I could afford with a Targa top was a 72 914. In 2015, I was fortunate enough to fulfill that dream. Wanting a new Targa with a manual transmission, I had 2 options here in the states or wait until the 991.2 Targa's came out. Not wanting turbos, I opted for the black Targa 4 GTS at the dealership in Houston. It was spec'd out by someone who couldn't follow through on the original sale (divorce or something of that nature). Was spec's out nicely, not far off as if I had done it myself. Glad to have gotten one of the last generation naturally aspirated GTS's as well. Extremely fun car to drive. If it's not raining, the Targa top is open, whether it's 50 or 90 degrees outside.

I've not spent over 6 figures on a car before as that is somewhat of a glass ceiling for me. CPO/Used opens up the market to a whole other demographic.
That being said - car prices overall have gotten stupid. 90K for a loaded M3/4? 60K for a regular 3 series? 40K for a loaded civic... just mind blowing to me. Although, that does make the 911 seem like a bargain; even new considering what you get.

I think the poll is skewed towards used. Most forum members are scrupulous buyers and either want a very special build (new custom order) or looking to get a good deal (me) on a mint 911. We'd have to see the data but I bet at least 1/2 of 991 transactions are bought off the lot. If true this implies buyers who don't care so much but want a status car. That is a lot of assumptions but I wanted to sound off.
