Out of my own reach but I would like the idea of this..

I'm getting sales flyers from Porsche of Edmonton. No doubt from inquiring about a 2005 996 C4S.

Highlights:

Macan S $1,199 month
Cayenne. $1,299 month
Taycan 4S $1,699 month
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

They know what sells for them...
I love it when a plan comes together.

This seems a bit bizarre to me.

This '07 C2S sold on BaT for $37k in 2018:


Yesterday it sold for $121k:

So what you are saying is I should sell all my investments, buy and old 911, and turn it into an off road vehicle and I should double my money in 2 years.

FACK.. i should have bought that salvage titled 993 when i had the chance......

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

I am actually really digging this one. I'd have to swap out the god awful wood trim on the inside but I love the exterior color and the rims.  Has the right transmission.  Not a horrible price either, looks fairly clean.

Very nice colour combo. The lobster claws are off a 997. One of my favourite Porsche wheels ever.

Is there enough info on the Panamara to know if they will be somewhat reliable.  I know the Cayenne is one of the more reliable FGC SUVs.  I love these sedans also and would make a great luxury cruiser.

Almost a brown wagon... looks great & optioned quite well.

These are quite reliable as far as I remember.

agreed...and Panamara's seem to be a relative bargain on the used market (for a Porsche)...not really sure why...maybe there just isn't as much demand for them?

It's interesting that nice early Caymans are around $40k and you can get a newer one (like a 2016) for only $10k more.

Naturally aspirated six, and that sweet hydraulic steering? I can see why people still want the older ones. Having said that, the new ones do look much, much better.

I think there was a year or two with the new body, but still the old engine? Electric steering, not hydraulic, but from what I’ve read it’s still decent. I wonder what those are going for? That might be the sweet spot for me.
V8 all day...

Though you could get a stick with the manual

Cayman, not Cayenne. Ears open, grandpa!

Love this so much...exactly how I'd spec mine.

Really must resist!

A great poster on this forum wrote once to someone else:

Come on!!

You have to get into the right mind set.

Here, repeat after me: "Let some other sucker take the depreciation hit".

Repeat many times.

Now shop for used car.

Holy depreciation!  I had no idea they dropped in value like that, what would an equivalent 911 be worth, I'm guessing WAY higher?  That's a beautiful spec that still looks like a million bucks, but I have no idea about reliability so I think I'd need to be comfortable with having an additional $10k+ in a "just in case" fund.

Equivalent 911 might be double, though I'm not sure what kind of a hit 911 values take with higher KMs.

Well, more inventory is hitting the market, but asking prices continue to be high. I even noticed some newer high end stuff at Grimsby Chrysler :)

This is definitely not a great year to be buying a used Porsche...

I worry that the new luxury tax for >$100,000 will put upward pressure on cars just under. So we may be in the same spot next year :(

Indeed, that's a lot of $$$ tied up for 4 Porsches in inventory for Grimsby Chrysler.
I wonder what the justification was for that decision?
