And for all we know the OP, or any of us, could also be giving the same, or more, on a percentage of income/assets basis...without selling a Porsche to do so. BTW, I'm very familiar with JP's history in philanthropy and other ares of his life.

Back we go............

Or, he has sold out his entire inventory and can't keep them in stock.....European and Canadian buyers perhaps.

We have no way of knowing the reason.

Unbridled optimism, I love it. You're like the Tony Robbins for 993s.

Give RPM a call and let him know about this red S for sale. He'd be an idiot not be buy it and flip it to a European or Canadian buyer.

Optimism is a great asset most days.

What we really need is data - auction data, sales data, trends in listing prices.....we certainly have enough opinions.

Obviously toys get hurt in economic downturns......but it takes more than opinion to quantify the effects.

Check the current exchange rates, particularly USD to CAND. Times have changed rapidly, and calls aren't coming as often from CN and EUR any longer.

I was being facetious. Apparently it didnt land.

So did this car sell or what?

LOL....I was! But I think capitalism has taken a left turn somewhere (or perhaps went off road after it missed the apex!).

I did write my earlier comment after listiening to the morning news about unemployment rates, Citi stock under $5 a share, projected 350,000 jobs lost in the financial services sector, and on and on.

It is just the times we are ALL living through and for those of us who have the $$$, lets be thankful for what we have.

And...Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!

Lastly....did the OP sell the beautiful red 993? I too am curious.

was shocking to hear how much Citi had dropped...

my main reason is the fact that so many people have left and sold only to miss and want to re-join the "club".

I think my 993 is rightfully so in-between a really nice BMW M series and any Ferrari. I can drive it and service it without much worry. To me its just bullet proof.

Ive owned so many cars and its 286hp really surprises me- its enough for me anyway.

If you don't need the money, then good call!!

All these posts and no pics of a 575M? Is this what you're looking to get? I'm not that familiar with these cars, but it sure looks awesome.




From the Edmunds.com review:
"Which gets back to the reason why so many buyers will choose a 575M over a Continental GT or SL65 that offers more luxury and performance at a lower price. Those cars simply don't possess the racing heritage, sensuous body lines or driving dynamics that the 575M offers.

Once again, a Ferrari is still a Ferrari; everything else…isn't."

Looks really nice! Good luck with your sale. Personally, I think holding out for a ton more money may get old, but if you're in no hurry at all, why not? If it was my car, I'd let the ad run for 3 weeks and if no bids came in over $50k, I'd sell it in a heartbeat for that amount.

Cheers,

I would have paid 3-4K more in my market (Hawaii). I think that's a good price. and its only going to go up.
