I have managed to buy a keeper about every 10 years for the last 3 Porsches. The 2017 will be a keeper, but we are seeing the end of the enthusiast era as we know it.

FWIW, I recall seeing 2 pristine low mileage RSAs for sale recently, one polar silver, one guards red.

They're great cars. Probably the best OEM Porsche seats ever made and the manual steering rack is damned close to perfect IMHO.
