Work on Wall Street (at least figuratively because no banks are left on Wall Street and have either moved to Battery Park or midtown), this was news to me as well. I mean, most might not (publicly) support Trump but you throw a Mitt Romney type candidate at them and they'll salivate at the mouth.

Also, someone just paid $60k over on black touring on BaT so good times still rolling for a few people.

The handling of the new Cayenne is just ok - not fun to drive - and you can barely hear the engine. The interior of the vehicle is also kind of plain, doesn't look high end.

All of this drives home the point for me that Porsche sports cars vs the SUVs and sedans are two very different categories of vehicles, targeted towards different kinds of buyers and drivers. The stuff we discuss about scarcity, ADMs, etc. with the sports cars generally doesn't really apply much to the utility cars.
Not a fair comparison. Drive a new GTS and your opinion will change. Base trim Cayenne has never been fun compared to a GTS trim

Why are we talking about the Cayenne again? Especially a Base model?

On a GT3 Sub-forum? On a thread about ADMs?

I looked at the website, and apparently they don't currently offer a GTS model for the Cayenne.

Yes we are, and that is the point. The Porsche brand isn't associated only with the sports cars or the GT cars. It's associated with all of the vehicles, with the utility ones far outselling the sports cars, and the utility ones aren't scarce or command an ADM. This is a different situation than what you see with the exotic brands.

My neighbor bought their house in 2005. I snagged my house for $90k less in 2010, but they HODL’d and it worked out. My home has done a little over 2x.

The lesson here, is to HODL.

True if you held on to real estate long enough you would have broken even. In my area, if you bought at the peak in 2006 you would have had to wait about 10 years to get back to those peak prices.

Never mind that our current Fed Chairman was originally appointed by Donald Trump.

Exactly.

And ironically, the Mods don't really care when you go "off-top" let alone generate post after non-technical post on a technical forum.
That's why a GT3RS "flipper" thread (richk) wound up going off for 5 pages about roofing contractors. LOL!

In my area - it was 3-4 years - but - I think a personal residence is not an investment. Just like GT3's aren't (or shouldn't be) investments. The utility you get is a) a place to live and enjoy your life b) enjoy driving it to cars and coffee (kidding) or on the track. If you happen to make money on either - great - but I personally don't think you should buy one unless you can easily afford it and can afford to have their "value" go down - maybe even significantly - without affecting your enjoyment of it. For example, if you pay $250K for a GT3 and it goes to $200K in 3 years. Do you still love driving it? If you buy a house for $2M and it goes down to $1.8M - does that make you miserable or do you still love where you live?

and for ipse - ADM's suck? And for Mani - I have a 2024 Cayenne e-hybrid on order but with the upgraded interior materials..

the truth is… for many guys, buying a GT3 that depreciates minimally or none at worst IS THE appeal. Much easier to convince yourself to spend $200k (and spouse)

Porsche knows this too… I remember the 2008/09 crash and the Porsche CEOs strategy was to keep residuals high, brand high, and not over produce or discount cars (stark contrast to GM which gave everyone employee discounts and flooded the market / tanked residuals.

I'm not sure their strategy worked in all cases back in 2009. That was the one time I got a good deal. I bought a brand new 997.2 Carrera S (9a1 engine and PDK - all new) for around $22K off sticker. Just was in the right place at the right time. They couldn't give away regular 911's in 2009. Boy have things changed. That was a great car at the time.

Given the massive glut of 992 GT3 on the market....is there anyone here who actually thinks they aren't going to get absolutely cooked on resale?

probably dropped average of 40-50k in past 12 months, and I don't see prices dropping any slower next 12 months.

5 SOLD 992 GT3's on BAT NOV 2022 11/4/22-12/2/22: Avg. $294,600 median: 300,000
5 SOLD 992 GT3's on BAT NOV 2023: Avg. 245,044 median: 239,000

OUCH!

let's here the ADM warriors debate the FACTS
