That's cheap enough but I guarantee you there are skeletons hiding in both trunks. That car has got some stories.

$72K for a PDK 987 Spyder? Sure, why not, nothing makes sense anymore.

WTF?

I'm telling you: The best value in P-land is a new P-car.

If I could only convince myself to drop $100K on a GTS/Spyder before they stop making them.

That all said, if certain things go well at work, if they still make a 992 GT3 Touring 4-5 years from now, I may dive deeper into the stupid pool and get one of those, especially if there is no NA H6 MT Boxster.

I haven't tried or really looked into it, but my sense is the supply of new ones is pretty thin. Might be hard to actually get one even if you wanted one.

Yeah. I'd imagine I'd have to get into the waiting list now.

With trillions printed last year and two more to come, folks sitting on money they didn't spend in 2020 (talking about upper middle and above), expect more inflation in everything, including porsches that rich people deem "special"... Unless of course the tech downturn takes hold and broadens out. When doges are worth X and crypto-bla is worth Y, we are deep into nonsense land. If the coming downturn doesn't hurt you much; and it might take a few years to arrive but I suspect it will be before the next election, that will be the time to buy porsches... All guesses and assuming you really care about timing. In the short run, now is the time to buy because I think special car momentum still has some legs, especially with spring/summer/openings around the corner.

Yeah, but sadly I cannot buy now. Maybe in a few years, but not now.

I think a few years from now might not be so bad. I meant that later this spring/summer will be worse than even now. People have that "cannot lose money on a porsche" mentality...

I'll be interested to see where GT4 and GTS prices head in the next few years.
