OG:
Thanks! this is my 4th porsche, and selling them has all been like pulling teeth ( which I do ) but none as bad as this. I am strongly considering doing exactly what you say. I may try the private sector, but i hate being jostled by all the tire kickers. This turbo is a really great car. being where i am located makes it hard to get to someone who can mod or tune. APR is 3 hours from Mobile, alabam..other than that I'll have to transport or drive/fly. but i am almost convinced keeping it and doing the mods for track. one reason it only has 3800 miles on it is I felt early on that i might sell and buy the GT3 for track. But this way I might have my cake and eat it too. thanks!

Yes, OMFS. Just got done using a #23 as a matter of fact. I am much further north than you are. Not familiar with dental town.
I dated a girl who went to college in Mobile (Spring Hill College). She always raved about that part of the country.
So is your turbo white (as in your post) or silver (as in your sig)?

I will just say this about auctions as I am in the truck business and have bought and sold hundreds at auction. If you buy enough you are going to get a bad one and you better factor that into your purchase price. With us if we buy 10 and one of them has major mechanical problems we can average on all 10 so it is not to bad. If you buy on car for your use there is a pretty big risk. I would defiantly pay a premium to purchase from a good dealer or an individual that I could check out. I believe there is lot of lease return "trash" in auctions. I know some high end cars that were bought on lease that I would not touch with a ten ft pole. Just my 2 cents.

The dealer where a car gets turned into after the lease is up gets first crack at buying that car from Porsche Financial, if he passes the car then goes on the internal system and all the other dealers can buy it. Then if they all pass PFS disposes of the car. Keep in mind that dealers may pass on lease turn ins because their inventory does not dictate buying a car or the price from PFS is too high.

I was told by PFS on my wife's former Cayenne S that they would not sell to the lessee for other than residual value (and they now own the car!)

Prices are way off, but good grief!

hey Jim:
I don't see your pm.
I have the car. It is at the dealer having a new lip replaced from a curb scrape. I have considered having them retail it for me, but I am still considering selling it myself

In about 9 years I may be trading in a 160K one owner miles TT. I'll be old enough to forget what I paid for it, I hope.
