Josh's 911 for sale thread

[JST]

Have to say I think this is the right call!

Agreed. Great decision. Love the one you’re with.

Or at least save it long enough for me to get it after my 997 dies.

On a related note - I wish Ted's E39 M5 worked out for me. This fall is probably the time I will do something to replace the E38...

But back to the 911. As my car has 148k on it, I am now starting to think about how long I keep it and what I will do for a replacement. But... I think I have some time... The car runs great and does everything I ask of it.

I think the car you have is a keeper... But I am not biased at all. LOL

She is adamant that she doesn't care what I do, she just doesn't want to hear any more about it.

Reminds me of how a friend of mine managed to convince his wife that he needed to get a 911 in the first place. She got so sick of hearing about it that she was like "just buy the damn car because I dont want to hear about it anymore!"

This was about 5 years ago. He ended up buying a manual CPO 991.1 for I think around 60k (imagine that now!), and keeping it for a few years. He never really bonded with it, and ended up going back to a Miata. Now, he's over cars entirely and just into biking. Kinda crazy since this guy was more obsessed with cars than any of us!
