Fair point. Only time I really care about what prices are doing is if I want to trade something out. Never look at it as an investment; for me it's an equation of how much capital I'm willing to tie up, how much hassle I'm willing to put up with to have as many different driving experience variety that I can reasonably get use of. Lately I've been moving towards fewer, higher impact cars. So, price is kinda relevant but just as part of the equation to feed my habit.

Have you driven yours yet? I'm awaiting some feedback?
I just bought a 2k miles 3.8RS and really enjoy it. I am 99% sure that I will buy a 4.0 as well. I've heard from Mooty that there is a huge difference.
As far as prices, the market has gotten soft. Premium is probably for cars with under 2k miles?

I rode around the block with Martin in his. It's a very special car. Power delivery, feel, even sitting in passenger seat you can feel it.
As far as cars? My limit is 4. 3 would be better. any more than 4 and I can't enjoy them. Lets me have 1 of the 'best I can afford' of the different genres.

I can barely find the time to drive one let alone 2 or 3.
There's a reason the RS owner with the WORST car ADD on the planet (i.e. MOOTY) still has his.

Yes, somehow I managed to reply to my own post.

I bought the white car. No overrevs. Pccb. Buckets. Just wish it was a radio delete car.
I already have another black car inbound.
Everyone in the room was bidding on Ferraris and somehow the 918 went for 1.8+ with buyers premium.
The RS cars (964/993) were accident damage cars. Turds.

I agree on 4 car limit. I'm down to 12 cars plus 1DD for me,2 DD for wife ( she never drives) and many motorcycles. I'm not sure how I got here?

Bought a used M&M center muffler with side delete pipes for the 4.0 as I don't want to blow a hole in the TI muffler when it's track time.

Interesting data points on limiting cars to 3 or 4. I'm in the same boat; at 5, cars became a chore not a hobby. In fact, with current pursuits, my sweet spot is 3. As car hobby budget increases, cars may get more expensive but the number stays the same.
