Adam I feel for you man, and like you I have a infant but the mkt for resale for these cars is insane.....
my very very slightly used MK1 car I bought in Dec......dealer just offered $21k less for a trade in on a new MK2....fogetaboutit I say!(6mos and I could have bought a 3.9 motor for it.....)
I feel bad for anyone buying a MK2 brand new.......1st and 2yr depreciation will warrant a heart attack when the sale time inch hits you....3rd year will just comatose you

good luck maybe your wife will understand that you do not need to take a bath on this car and let you keep it, there are tons of 4door slightly used cars out there for a steal

I wouldn't feel too sorrowful -- anyone able to pony up the dough to get a $150K plaything in the middle of a global recession is not getting freebie financing or taking equity out of their home, so they must have the folding stuff. And again, the planet is just now lowering itself into the second half of a global depression, so anyone with two pennies to rub together is doing okay. As for two or three years hence, make no mistake about it: if the planet is still in a great depression in two years, the only Porsches to desire will be the armor plated survivalist type running on solar with iron plating welded over the doors and windows because we will be in civil revolt.

Obviously I didn't pay sticker for it, as I bought it at the height of the market.
Unfortunately that's water under the bridge now...

GREAT pictures sell the car.
You're absolutely spot on about the pictures; many shoppers won't even look at a car with no (or even few/crappy) pics.

I was hoping to offer it to you guys first and knew you would have great input.

I will now take extensive pics, and put in on ebay and other places.

911dev, feel free to make an offer on the sharky if you want it.
Dont forget cars . com Good Luck!

+1 ....... if this does in fact happen and money is worthless, trade your P cars for food, gold and lots of "brass" to protect your food and gold !
