You would have to make that decision, the one where you walk outside and it's like, what do I drive today? With that car on the driveway the kids are left on the kerb every time
It's mad when you think about it, 10k more back then but 30k more now (I haven't checked the figures but this feels about right)... The OP should probably know though that the 996 bar the mezger engine cars are a very possible liability, i've spent so much on mine I wouldn't even want to get the receipts out to tally it up. Right now it needs an engine rebuild and for roughly half the cost of what that costs to do properly (with some choice upgrades) you can buy 2 of the car I bought to rock around in while I save the funds (56 plate mk2 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro) with a couple of grand change.
You see the thing is, at least for me, is that the 911 gets under your skin. Sure there are faster cars, more desirable cars, cars that are technically better in many, many ways but for me the 911 is always that car I can't stop thinking about and never really get bored with, be that an old car, 964, 993, 996, 997... It really doesn't matter. I just can't help but love them.
