Default Should I do it?

The Porsche regional manager wants my 993 and is willing to pay whatever I'm willing to sell it for... Should I do it? Most of you know my 993

"Whatever I'm willing" is the big question, isn't it.

I'd gladly sell mine for $60K. I could replace it for that, easily. I wouldn't for $40K, as I'd have a hard time finding a car such as mine for that price.

I wanna sell it for $55K since that's what I bought it for and have only put a hundred miles on it since I got it.

You can't even spell the word "sell" in conjunction with your 993 (first post says "see", second says "well"). There are Freudian slips and there are Freudian slips. This should tell you everything you need to know. This is your subconscious speaking. Hello!

The fact that you are asking makes me think that a significant part of you is considering selling it. Not saying that in a bad way but if $55k is what you want, try asking $60k and see what he says.

If you want to sell it to purchase a different type of car then it makes sense...

How long did it take to find the "right' car? I wouldn't sell it for a few extra bucks unless you are really ready to move on.

Sounds like this answers your question about the 993.

What a sales manager says he will do is usually very different from what he actually does...now are you buying another car from them? Cause they can easily makeup the difference on your purchased car.

Tell him $65K and I don't think you will be looking back, that's $10K in your pocket!
