Re: Porsche sweet spot?
Now is not the time to be buying a 2nd hand Porsche, prices are crazy.
I'd be trying a different dealer as well, all treat you differently.

Re: Porsche sweet spot?
Didn't even get a chance to try any, let alone buy
Funny thing is my available budget has increased a lot in the last 18 months, which I made them aware of.
Yeah, no way they are seeing any business from me now.

Re: Porsche sweet spot?
If you could hold on another 6 months hopefully the shortage of microchip (whatever they're called) should be sorted and the used car prices will start to drop for you.
I looked at the prices of 991.2 4s' the other day just for shites and giggles, they've gone up about 8k since Christmas

Re: Porsche sweet spot?
Thanks for the advice.
Yeah, I'm in no rush. Still love the RS6.
My problem is storage/garaging at the moment.
At least viewings of my home are picking up, 1 today and tomorrow.

Re: Porsche sweet spot?
Supply and demand.
Re: Porsche sweet spot?
Yeah, I was looking at 2017 911 gts' last year and they were around £80k.
We've been offered £6k more than we paid for our Macan in April.
Car market is nuts at the moment.

Re: Porsche sweet spot?
This is the only car I need for now. Seriously addictive.
It's ruined the idea of an ICE suv, estate though. For me, it's ice sports / super car and everything else is EV.

Re: Porsche sweet spot?
That’s a somewhat different prospect to a 911. Are you actually interested in ordering?don0301 wrote:Viewing the 296 GTB today >.<
I’m likely to move the F12 on. Ferrari ownership is a million miles away from Porsche and further still from Audi. You need to be prepared…..
Re: Porsche sweet spot?
My situation has changed a lot in the last 2/3 years.
Yes, I'm now interested to buy a Ferrari, instead of a Porsche although I do still look at 911.2 turbo S's. 458/488/F12 initially but they then booked me a test drive in a F8 2 months ago or so.
My problem is garaging/parking such a car where I live.
Tried to sell my home last year, will go on the market again this Spring.
I will be moving to another property I own, a marina penthouse but again no garaging.
Will try living there to see if I like, if not I will sell that too.
Then I will build again, or buy a property with at least a double garage and will be buying then.
I looked at storage but doesn't suit me for now, so although frustrating I will wait.
Ferrari colchester are fully aware of my situation, they invited me to the 296 launch, at the moment I'm not looking to buy.
I didn't realise you had a F12, how long have you had it? Ho do you find it?
I'm piqued by the myth that it's an animal. Although I'm very attracted to a mid engined car. Until I drive I'm open to what exactly I will buy.

911 get in a mind go, anywhere, anytime.
F car, not so. Don’t really do rain. Definitely do crowds. You cannot turn up anywhere unnoticed!
The F12 requires 100% attention, you cannot take your eye off for a moment. Really fast steering and boggling performance. Delivered in a different way to a 911. Tyres MUST be warm else the tail will wag the dog. Come to the realisation that I just won’t drive it enough, it really is a warm Sunday car.
It’s a beautiful thing, though plenty of foibles.
Your paying for running gear, not fit and finish. If you’re vaguely OCD about these things expect to be triggered!
A good time to get out, IMO a very bad time to get in.
And, yes, secure garage is a must.
I’m going to get back into a new TTS.
