I saw an identical in appearance one like yours listed for 15k. It's tempting for sure. I'd like one like yours but with the upgraded stereo. Your car + engine from my

You can fix the stereo part: https://www.bavsound.com/

For $2-3k ?

THe factory stereo is not all that great to be sure, but that is expensive... I'd rather just get more exhaust note.

I'm hoping the low mileage and make mine worth a bit more than that if I sell. Paid $21K about 1.5 years ago.

The other issue is Rona ... it will seriously impact the car biz. Paycheck to paycheck which apparently 1/2 the country will start to crumble and flood the market with cars ... good time to be a repo man

I think that will hit the used market pretty hard... BUT I'm OK with losing more on my relatively low value stuff to drop pricing across the board, it's been

Maybe I can get into something more interesting if used prices drop, like a 981 Cayman or 997... hell if I'm doing aight and everything really goes, I could even go for an Evora possibly.

I thought about dumping the 86 at carmax a month ago to lock in my depreciation.

Are you not impacted at all? I don’t know a single person that isn’t in some way.

Sell for $20k before it drops to $10k in 3 months. profit

Too late

Could've bought another one for $10k after the apocalypse and come out ahead vs being underwater for 6 years.

You don't know how bad it'll get. The way of looking at it is assuming that your current assets will not get repurposed for other things, and you will be able to spend it on disposable shit like cars, that's the first thing people cut. Restaurants/bars/cars/travel...

At least this way you already got a car and it is economical enough to enjoy, during the inevitable downturn.

Polygonal is the new black?

I don't think I like the faux low hood line. It doesn't work with the high belt line and ass end.

Probably could now.

Local DJCR diller offering 6 months deferred payments.

Deferred means I can afford it. It’s not money if I’m not paying

So....2 months from now, when the really starts sweatin it out, is it going to turn into a ocalypse?

If you have the money...

If the feds start sending out $1000 checks, there's going to be some bad decisions made

Like what car is 1k... people can’t pay rent they are not that stupid... some will be most wont

Definitely impacted... weirdly I'm having a pretty good sales month but I assume that will go out the window soon.

BUT times like these I think it's really hard to stay positive, it helps just a little to think about some fun possibilities. If used cars drop by 40%... well I'm going to lose like $10K in value but still have profit on the table and something like a 997 may be more attainable.

True. Not sure how S2000 prices look lately. $10k off a 2019 ND2 Miata and a decent amount for the S2k private party would be enough for me to make a move.
