Default Update - keeping it!

Day 1 - listed the car for sale. Day 2 - raised price by $10,000. Day 3 - pulled listing.

Can't do it - the 997S drives perfect. Just went over 93,000 miles on the odometer yesterday

Good for you! You'll never get what the car is worth to you anyway. Enjoy & rediscover!

Para,

Obviously that's a great call, so welcome back ! But I'm curious about why you even put it on the market in the first place? Were you thinking of moving to a different car, getting some heat from your better half as to why you pay more attention to your 997 rather than her, or are you pleading temporary insanity...?

I plead temporary insanity - GrandSport had me temporarily interested but when I went to the dealer to option one out I started to realize there was no way I could replace a 911 with a Vette. I will reconsider the Vette when my GT350 warranty is up which might be a long time - looking into giving Ford 900 bucks for a 7 year/75k mile warranty on that car.

Wait...GT350?

Not to derail the thread, but honestly we know how awesome the 997 is (in the 90K+ club myself). How do you enjoy the 'stang?

Also good choice re: the Porsche.

Probably one of the most intoxicating driving experiences money can buy. On the street it's a riot and on the track it's extremely fast. Incredible machine.

We talked about it a lot here - https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...030-gt350.html

Out of curiosity, how much were you asking? Curious where the market is for the 90k+ mile crowd as that wouldn't scare me away.
