Since I bought mine I've changed the steering wheel, shift ****, shift boot, floor mats and a black forward center console delete. I have all the old parts so it can be returned to how it left the factory.










The gray kidney shaped console trim pieces below the shifter will be replaced with black ones when they get here next week.

This is a seperate discussion from love of 911s. Not talking about porsches. Talking about the global supply chain and the effect on ALL used cars.

you didn't have to make good decisions to make money selling your car this year... all you had to do was buy one last year at reasonable market value, and it's market value is substantially more today. this will (hopefully) never happen again in our lifetime.

THe problem is you won't be able to replace a car you sell for a reasonable dollar amount.
Same with real estate. Sure I could sell my house tomorrow for a massive profit but then I'm stuck holding my Weiner because there's nothing reasonable I can buy right away

True if you must replace it with something of equal or greater value. But not if you replace a depreciating asset with one that is already depreciated, or a considerably cheaper asset for the time being until the market cools and you can buy your old house or car back for less than you sold it for. Not worth the hassle, I agree. That's why I hope this never happens again. I much prefer buying cars than selling them.

Give it until 2024 or 2025 and the Central Banks will bring on another recession. Can't have inflation like we have globally without restrictive monetary policy coming our way.
