A 991 for $55-$65: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1269...my-2012-a.html

 

Interesting. That makes the choice between a 996tt and a newer 991 more difficult.

 

Well if you own a Hyundai or Oldsmobile the oil pan beneath the 991 will be very familiar to you

 

All of my cars are wet (sump) ladiesMK6 Golf TDI
e90 335d
E66 745Li

All reliable too

 

Reliability isn’t the issue, it’s endurance under racing conditions. The 996TT will “endure” LeMans, while the 991 Carrera will not; or at least Porsche legal warns it will not in the owner’s manual. Which is a fairly good indication 991 Carrera should “stick” to Rodeo Drive.

 

Great ! I won't be tracking either of them. So Porsche Legal can go suck an egg

 

Personally i enjoy pretending to round the Mezger through Dunlop Curve whilst inching the elementary school parent pickup circle. This type of imagination is only possible with dry-sump lubrication.

 

I pretend I've made it in life when I pull up to Starbucks in my 22yo 911 and recite an essay for my $7 drink

 

You made it

 

Now that's a good one. 😁

 

​​​​​​​I suppose. The soccer moms in Macans still look down on me. Physically and metaphorically. They don't know they're driving an Audi Q5 with nicer leather

 

I remember when one of my subordinates at work finally came up to me and asked how I can afford all my cars. Two Porsches, a Lotus, etc. They did the mental math (apparently it was as much as a house, they told me...) and told me how expensive they were, and how "on [my] salary, how can you afford it?" It was funny to watch their face when I told them how little they were in comparison to what they thought. I bought all my cars at peak depreciation and needing love. My colleague's brand new Audi A7 was more than all my cars COMBINED at that point, I just paid more in insurance. And possibly repairs. So, fortunately or not, no one knows your 911 is 20 years old or one model out of date, they just assume it's a 100k car.

And now, I have to get back to my prisoner exchange. Go pick up one car out of the shop and drop off another...

 

Yeah it's kinda funny how that pre conceived notion happens.
I own outdated luxury and sports cars which were fully depreciated at my purchase.
MSRP would be more than my house back in , whatever year they were new

no one is impressed with my car

they come out, look at it

get down and inspect the oil pan

and then its just straight up

 

Porsche is onto that too. As of 992 the oil
pan is fully concealed from prying eyes behind “underbody aerodynamic panels”.
