Default I'm really torn

I need to sell my 99 to free up space and some cash but then I look at pictures and something inside me says no.

No.

Just no.

Sell a kidney or something, but not that.

That is all.

Looks like it is sporting 301 horses in picture 1

Eh... Beautiful looking car... Nobody knows but you. It's only a car, and as has been discussed here ad nauseum, there are tons of them out there. If I were in the market for a 996, yours would certainly check a few boxes (love the color, both interior and exterior) obviously, it would have to pass a PPI re; mechanicals etc... If you decide to sell it GLWS!

I don’t know what to ask for it yet. 65k miles. I took it to RAC about a month ago for a preemptive ppi and had them do repairs on everything they found - over $2k of work. This is my favorite color and I know I’ll never find another this nice so I’m really torn.

Best thing to do is take a deep breath and closely examine all of your options. If after a thorough look at the situation and you have no other way to generate the much needed funds, then put it up for sale. No doubt you'll hate the day is leaves your home, but family priorities are more important than any car. When you bounce back, they'll be others waiting for you.

Keep the car and use your credit card. I have the same color as yours...it's a keeper.

You will forever regret the day you sell it and somebody drives off in it. Get rid of something else to make space. There is my opinion and two cents. Porsche - there is no substitute!

Sell something else if you like it so much. Children? Pets? Other vehicles?
