New Member; Los Angeles
New member from Los Angeles, CA. I'm not yet a Porsche owner but hopefully will be soon. I have owned a Porsche in the past: a 1976 911 S in Ice Green Metallic on black. I bought it new when I was 25. One of my favorite automobiles despite the steep learning curve. It was determined to spit me into the ditch many times but eventually I think I convinced it that I was a worthy owner. Anyway, I seem to be losing around $500 a day in the market and so perhaps it would be smarter to 'invest' in a 997 CS2. ;) It won't be my daily driver. For the most part it will be a 4x a month driver. I buy cars new and take care of them. When I do end up selling them they are what buyers are looking for: a well-maintained, serviced, and pampered good buy. I'd prefer to wait for MY09 for the DI and minor facelifts. But all of a sudden the Cayman S has entered the arena and now I'm addled. What a trip to drive! But also somewhat lacking, too. However, I think I have to follow my heart (despite it not being somewhat rational) and choose what makes me happy. The 997 is not simply about performance but also brings a bit of nostalgia up for me. Perhaps that's worth it? My dealer does have a new MY08 997 CS2 in White on Black. It's fairly base with a MT (what I want) and with Bose and power seats. Tempting as I can get it for a decent price. Or maybe I should just buy a sensible BMW 328i wagon with a MT and forget all this! Nice forum, btw. Not filled with testosterone laden teens reciting car magazine data as on the BMW and Audi forums. Cheers. |
