Default Part 2 of P-Car sickness

Okay: I faux pas'd and put this at the end of a previous topic, so nobody gave me any suggestions.

Now, I feel better I'm not sick, or at least, I'm no sicker than all of you

So; Given that I just spent $88k on this one, I'll have to go make a deal in my business and generate some more windfall funds.

So; maybe I'll get another one. What should it be? That's what I'm struggling with.


What would make good compliment to it to th C2S.
1.) I have no more garage space. I live in the city and am lucky to have two garages as it is. One space is definitely my wife's.
2.) I have extremely rusty mechanical ability and almost no tools.
3.) I have no intention of racing,. repeat after me; I have no intention....

Hard to make suggestion to you as don't know if you have kids or not, any winter snow driving, need to carry a lot of stuff...

Anyway, a Cayenne S will be good compliment as it does things that 911 or Boxster or Cayman cannot. If you are shopping for a non-Porsche, then a sport sedan will be good.

I should have added. My kids are grown and out. I have an 06 MB ML350 for my SUV needs.

I was thinking of something either 1.) An older 911, I can mod, or possibly a Cayman, although I know that my be heresy on this forum

That was one of my thoughts. I'm a little confused abou the Cayman. I thought they were selling well, but apparently there are 06s still left at pretty steep discounts.

I don't think it's the market. I had a tough time getting a decent discount on my C2S, but I guess they are still in more demand.

Is the Cayman not selling up to Porsche's expectations?

Think why you want it? Actually write it down. I am sure your existing 997 can address all of those needs.
