$300k is a lot of monies for any car.

if i received an offer for $300k for my tt, if i had one, i'd sell it and replace it with likely two other porsches. likely a 993 coupe and a some project car to have fun with customizing it as a sleeper with some serious unseen mods to surprise almost anyone at the stoplight lol

Need to remember that if the 993 Turbo was at the $300K level, many of the cars being discussed would also be at a much higher level than they are today.

Exactly my point. We might as well be playing "What if all of our wives were Victoria secret models".

I'd spend half the money on women, booze and poker - and then waste the other half.

Are you serious? Take a car that bestowed riches upon you to buy a car that is going to take
every last red cent you have ever had?

Assuming the market's where it is now, I'd sell, buy an even lower mileage 993tt for say $165K and pocket the rest. Otherwise "3."
