Question Opinion Sought

Hi All - opinions sought. The current Porschefolio consists of 3 997's - C4S, turbo (tip), and GT3, as well as a 993 (tip). All in great condition. I'm considering dropping all but one car as my retirement date approaches - and the question is which one to hang onto? The car will need to do DD / road trip work (up to 500miles/week) as well as cater for possible future infirmity as the intention is to hang onto it until the reaper comes to visit. Cross posting on other forums as well. Thanks in advance!

GT3. And stop planning for infirmity, cross that bridge when it comes.

To me…at say 60…the GT3…..at 80…the TT…..but you note you’re use case is for a ‘daily’ and some road trips (comfort) and…. going to be the flower car at your funeral which we all hope is decades away….so I am voting 997 TT ….which is a car I’ve had and loved.

Stupid game. Only keep one car. LOL.

I’d keep the GT3 and probably the 4S as the highway mileage eater.

Sell the 993 and turbo.

FYI, my best friends grandmother kept driving until she was 93.She stopped after not feeling comfortable behind the wheel. Celebrated her 102th birthday this year. You could be driving for another 20 years. Try one less car , see how it goes and maybe a second at a later time. Keep two. The ones you turn around to look at when you walk away after parking it.

If keep the GT3 and TT tip but if only keeping one it would be the GT3.
