I remember seeing that ad for the first time and being floored. It really, really hit.

It's like a Harry Chapin song for providing an excuse to yourself to buy a Porsche.

I thought it was good given the current state of the manual 997.2 market, but later it was brought to my attention that the service history is kind of sketchy “all over the place” and the undercarriage looked fairly rough given the location. Who knows… I am still learning.

I cannot keep up with all aspect of the 911 market. My attention moved from the G-body cars to the 996TTs and now it’s 991.2’s. I have no idea how the 996 or 997 markets are pricing these days. I see random stuff on BaT.

I’m laser focused right now on the 2018 GT3 models with the 6 speed manuals. It’s about what I can handle just to track this market.

I’m sure it’s fine because it’s still Porsche CPO covered.

But it sure does make life harder if you want to sell it in the future.

I remember getting a laugh at that when it aired. Also didn't realize it was Kristen Stewart, but that's often how actors get a start...

It all kind of matters less if it’s a car in good conditions and drives well.
