So I’ve only seen a few of these things in person. This was the first time I got up close to it and got to sit in it. These things hit differently. I said the same thing when I got in and drove a gt4 but this was even more special. Hard to believe you can drive these on legal streets. I will say surprisingly I did not think the clutch was super heavy. There is probably a lot of variability in them but this felt a little heavier than my fathers 981 gt4 clutch. I could definitely notice the notchiness though moving into the different gears. I didn’t drive it FYI just my impressions at rest.

It will change. This is simply travel, restaurant, and other leisure dollars being spent on hard goods. My business was up 70% YTD for the first 3 months 2021 vs 2020. Suddenly business dropped starting about 10 days ago like 40% I mean profound.

People want to travel. I think the guy on lockdown staring at a BAT auction will mellow out now.

I don’t know if anything will change anytime soon. Florida has always been opened and the demand doesn’t stop. It’s crazy the spending.

I don’t care how special the car is, non refundable deposit is a deal breaker. Stay away

No negotiations on the price obviously. Car has damage reported to CarFax ( SA says it was a hood repair for rock chips)
CPO only for another 4 months and 40k miles. I love black cars but they are arguable the least sought after.

I'm passing on this car if anyone wants the car be prepared for these terms. I have some photos the SA and @zshecht7792 sent me.

That’s Florida though. Some states have been in a completely different situation. There could be some variability from state to state. I personally think things will either stabilize or come down a bit. Don’t see a .1 with 25k miles worth 130k by the end of this year but hey I could be wrong. Apologize if my comments may upset some owners on here that isn’t my objective. Just stating my opinion that’s all.

Ha, I bought my Daytona last year and it has nearly doubled in price. Everything is crazy right now; cars, watches, houses.

must be nice to have a Daytona! I got an omega speedy. If I get a Rolex, it’s either a gmt master or datejust with the jubilee band.

Second Daytona, the way prices were going if I didn’t get in, it would pass me by. Use my 50th anniversary Sea Dweller daily. I like it better than the Sub since it’s a little larger.

Its a Porsche dealership.

Its being serviced. Needs tires and brakes that are getting done.
I'm trying to coordinate a flight out, but for a dealership the contact isn't being very helpful.
So the Porsche Dealership places a Craigslist ad to sell on of their cars and it's a very vague ad with no pictures and very little contact information. You wouldn't be able to tell it's a Porsche dealer from teh Craigslist ad. Wonder why they feel. need to advertise this way. Crazy. I would walk just on this.
