Good buy?

Good but not amazing (remember the buyer's premium, too, which is 5 percent). I haven't really followed the C4s that closely because I was never really interested in AWD, though.

At this point, I'm out of the 911 market for a while.

For a while, the normal going rate was $400k+. That was just dumb, pure speculation. I sat in one at the P-car Museum. It's an awesome car. I'm sure it drives great but I can't imagine buying one at those prices, or even $200k.

I don't know if it's a good buy or not.

I do know I won't go for a 987 or 997.1, i.e. I will stick with the more reliable 2009+ engine. How much more reliable? Not sure, but I'd rather not worry.

The .1's have better stock sound, no less torque, better clutch take-up. The .2's are quieter and have less feel on the clutch. But they are very happy and smooth at high revs.

Since I clicked on an ad, I keep getting ads for cars. I wish there was a way to tell FB that I already bought one.

But in the meantime, this M4...whoa. What a color combo.

OMG. Kind of a bargain, too. But frightful in an overwrought Marvel kind of way.

I wonder how bad the two accidents were

Yuck. I saw one the other day that was Yas Marina Blue with the orange interior. Not as bad as this, but still pretty bad.

Oops. Didn’t delve that deeply—given the color combo, of course.

Looks like ketchup and mustard to me

If this wasn't a damn PDK, I'd be following very closely. I love that it has nearly 50k miles. Hate the duck tail thing but that's fixable.
