Evolution vs Revolution.

This one matches the fleet

Although not the illustrious 400, this one is good enough to bring me great joy and since it has a fairly low point of entry I really don't think it will be depreciating much.

Good choice

I have the M Sport. I also bought your old 255s from Melon. Probably fucked on the offset but I'll give it a shot. Worst case scenario they are not curbed courtesy of

I didn't realize my old made it all the way to CA.

They are in perfect condition.

Damn 100k really is the old 50k as far as car pricing goes. I am not sure I’d like to park another 100k in cash like that

Manual M2s of every flavor will be a safe investment, I think.

Safe as in won't be going to the basement like a regular 2/3 series, I agree. I do think the regular M2s will probably end up closer to high 20s as a floor for a nice one, but it's not like you won't lose $10k buying a Camry and driving it for 3 years. Might as well enjoy yourself in an M2.

That's a depreciation nightmare

You really think so? What are 981 GTS going for?

Boxsters in general seem to just fall. They're by far the least loved Porsches, and the 718 gen seems even less loved. Is the GTS still a 4 cyl? The 6-cyl models might do decently.

edit: did some reading, the GTS 4.0 model will probably hold some value... but I don't think it'll still be $90K in five years.

Because Porsche is a rich mans game and cockster and gayman are for the poors

I guess? They are also kind of better. 911s are just HUGE. Post 997 they really don't do a ton for me, I would rather a Cuckster/Cayman.

I also think the C5 is too big, FWIW.

I agree 911s look big....they are all "widebodies" these days. I think they look fierce/butch and I dig it, but a Miata they ain't.

They are nice looking cars and turn my head. maybe I'm just not into them because I don't really bother lusting after cars I can't afford, pal.

Every time I see one... I see 200k I am not sure I am THAT much into cars.

Maybe I would feel differently if I was rich enough, but I just sort of wonder if I would really be having that much more fun in a $200K 911 versus a $40K used Boxster. Serious diminishing returns at that point, and I would just be embarrassed to own such an expensive car given the wife and I both come from pretty humble beginnings, it feels very

I think externally it will be a "porsche" so the humble argument falls apart quick. To a plebe a 40k cockster and a 200k 911 turbo S are "fancy"

At some point, it just becomes a status thing.

If you're rich enough to buy a $200k car, it's like buying a $40k or less car for normal people.

But I agree, I'm not sure I'd ever spend that much on any vehicle, it would be low on my list of things to buy when loaded.

Pretty much just this.

Yeah, maybe I would get the $5k roller instead of the $1k roller, and the connecting rods would be Oliver instead of Scat.

:doh: , I only clicked on your more recent link. Great minds think alike!

55k is my mental cutoff for a fun car, you can pretty much have anything you want from a fully loaded off-road Jeep-Cuck, to a C7 'wette, to a V8/RWD luxury cruiser clad it imported Italian leather. Sure there are nicer versions for double the price, but diminishing returns above the half-century point. I also think an MR2 with a 200 HP mid-engine config is the bees knees and this is many levels up from what interests me.

You’ve got my attention with that color.

Yeah that thing is super cool. The price seems pretty OK to me, $55k for a bona fide (sp?) exotic that’s amazing to drive and pretty reliable.

This is a car that deserves a loud color, anything out of a skittles pack is perfect.

I want the dang thing... if I was single I would but I don't see hopping on board the $55K train.
