So how many of you are upping your insurance to match? I currently use Hagerty through Allstate...

 

Many of us. We have a whole thread for that =)

 

Cool I'll stop distracting and go read it

This place is a fount of knowledge. We're pretty lucky.

 

Gorgeous car with great options. It sounds great too.

 

Sure thing. But that is a reality on usage form many in this world.....

If you can pull $275k this year, I'll buy you dinner down here. You have my handle. But, I'd run it at least once more with a 105 day at Laguna. You brought your son the last time I saw it.

 

While I agree with you, there is a tipping point for older Porsches. I passed on a 993 TT at $75k that was so insanely perfect. And a perfect Dino 246 for $69k.

It's going to happen for the 996 and 997 GT3 on a permanent basis where they will accelerate up with not a lot of downside. I think we're there now. All the hubbub about 991.1 and 991.2 GT3's built in bigger numbers has passed. And everyone everywhere.....every critic, writer, enthusiast says the same thing. Get a 996/997 GT3 and an early NSX.

 

Good memory! That was my first and last track day w the RS. I've been having a lot of fun on the track in the green 74 nowadays. We have a nice group that runs older 911s and we have been able to secure our own run group with Retro Sporting. It's a close second to lemons.

 

Good times indeed! Hotter that day as well. But overall, a very pleasant group experience.

Glad you have some fun up in Sonoma. You run or are involved in team then? If so, PM some details when you have the chance. I haven't heard. Would be fun to get back into a lemons type delio again.

 

If this is what low mileage RS are going for, I might as well throw my hat in the ring.... White 997.2 RS, 7k miles, 2nd owner, clean DME/Carfax, high MSRP but no wart.

 

just figured this out...

 

I’m not sure why you felt the need to quote me. Antagonism?

If you want to sell yours for $100 then sell it for $100. When enough people hold and aren’t willing to sell at certain price points, the market will eventually rise to meet them. They aren’t making more of this model. Price may fluctuate with seasons and economic conditions, but over time demand is only going to go in one direction with this kind of vehicle. If you can’t afford to hold it, then sell it now at a low price.

I am perfectly comfortable with an occasional summer weekend drive with this car over the next 10+ years. I’m not looking to sell mine right now, but as someone else said, everyone has their price. My price right now is $500k. When people are paying $500k, my price will probably be $750k. Make the market, don’t be a victim of it…

 

are we all just talking over beer or are we buying cars?
find a car
send the money
drive the car

 

No intent to antagonize. This is a “for sale” thread after all so keep it light hearted

2 months, 3500 miles, & 4k+ mile road trip the whole month of January.
