I just bought a 2012 Grand Sport Corvette and am very happy with my purchase. When I'm tired of it, I'll sell it and get something else

+1. You got it right. And you will have another beautiful 993 again too.

Maybe he will be going with a Boss 302? What happened to yours?

I sold it. I thought I wanted to get back into doing a lot of track events when I bought it but real life seems to have intervened.

Default No regrets now.

I owned my 98 993 before I sold it to my friend. Since that time, Ive owned 4 997s inc a TT. Nothing is even close to my 993. After some bribery, I bought it back a few months ago only because he wanted my C4S Targa.

Well, my brother sold his under 10k km 993RS - I couldn't afford it with the current exchange price. I couldn't part with something like that.......

Thinking outside the box... do you have any friend or family member that could take care of the car for you by "renting" it and you can get it back in 6 years? Someone who you can trust and not abuse it. Perhaps $100- $200 per month and using the funds for maintenance expenses?

Boy, if you were closer, I would volunteer or be a renter! I was wanted a cab as an extra car. Good luck with your decision, only you will know as there are too many factors to consider.

Sold my 993S with no regrets but I replaced it with something I prefer so it's easy not to miss.
If the only reason for selling is living on the island and you know for sure you are out of there in a few years than I would keep it.
Fact is it won't lose any value. In 6 years you very likely will get more $.
In the mean time look at it as a beautiful sculpture, some of those cost more than a 993 and you can't drive that either. At least you can sit in it
