Really, really high miles. I'm looking for a sub-$100k 911 coupe with a manual, must be black, for an extended family member. Having trouble finding anything 997.2 for this... and would definitely like an S or 4S if possible.

This is darn close enough

Yeah, except it's a Quebec car... but really close otherwise!

Does "Quebec car" apply to Porsche's?

Yes

I wouldn't have an issue buying one outta Quebec. My SLK came outta Quebec, all good.

Seems nearly reasonable. 997.2 S, manual, $73,000 asking...high km but still.

That's a very nice spec (could do without the black wheels though).

I was just listening to Spike's Car Radio and they had Seinfeld on. One of the listener questions was if he had a hard cap for miles on a Porsche that would prevent him from buying it and he said there wasn't one.

My 86 had 400k+

With due diligence of course.

For me, in Quebec, that would be a FULL PPE at at Porsche dealer.

I think I spent about $2500 on PPEs before I found the right 996..

Now asking $69,000

Also, seeing inventory mushroom somewhat, particularly late model at crazy prices...lots of owners wanting to cash in I think.

[OliverD]

Saw a 992 GT3 Touring listed by a dealer for "only" $399k. Seems prices are softening somewhat.

GT3RS reveal today, that wing is HUGE!

Where were you keeping the savings before?  Hopefully not just in some low interest savings account at your bank.

Where else are you gonna put it that's a) easily accessible and b) low-to-zero risk?

Obviously in retrospect I should have invested it in the markets, but sadly I don't have a crystal ball. Plus I really didn't think it would take this long and this investment opportunity is time-sensitive.

Yes, to be clear that's where the money sat...I just don't consider 2-4% pretax, pre-inflation, or whatever is paying out, as high-interest

I got mine in a Wealthsimple account in a medium risk fund.  Sure I could take the risk away by putting it into something else, but the way I see it, if it goes up 10+% I’ll have more options and if it goes down 10+% I can choose to delay for a few months or a year and still end up with the car I want.  It’s easy to get at, 5 day wait or less for it to be in the account.  If I need something quick I have a LOC to use until that money gets deposited.
