As I continue to get older and mature in the car driving and collecting world I’m really adopting this philosophy, right now what I do is I buy something that I like, drive it if I really like it I drive it some more and eventually will get rid of it. There’s a few cars In my garage that are that are dead man cars, either because I love them or I can’t replace them, but many cars I enjoy just driving for a while and checking it off the list and moving on, for example one of these was the first generation NSX and 997 gt2. A wise friend of mine did tell me that the best cars ever built have probably already been built, are we ever going to see the likes of a Carrera GT, 997 GT cars, 2005/2006 Ford GT Just to name a few

If you must have a 991 please skip the .1 GT3 and .1 RS's. The new 4.0 motors in the 991.2's are monsters and much better designs and better cars. I sometimes fall into thinking the same way as you and want something newer, softer but still blistering faster (New AM Vantage AMR manual, AMG GTR Pro etc.) than a 997 GT car. Then I get in the RS and it's alive, raw and once all fluids are up to temp it's time rip and then even a 5 mile round trip is an experience. Good luck...

Since most of my fun is now on the street it was just too much to exploit and enjoy on the street, I’ve gradually become an all motor guy/natural aspiration, Plus to be quite honest I got out about two years ago and I could probably buy my car back for 20% less than I got

$123k for an 18’’ Manual on BAT. Market is trickling down worldwide. A pristine 996RS factory racer went for $200k US. A 993RSR with history and a minor wall incident didn’t even sell.
The market as a whole is down. Who’s going to keep theirs or who needs the money is the issue faced. I’m waiting it out; but, I’m on the otherside or the fence.
