Picked up a cheap 981 myself a year or two ago. Fantastic cars really hilarious to drive. And with the PSE they sound amazing.Picked up an old Boxster S last week. Done around 700 miles so far and loving it.
Never drove the 987 but apparently steering is meant to be even better!
Still humming and hawing about buying something outrageous on this side. But I'm just a little bit cautious about residuals on something v exotic. Like gibbo I don't mind spending money on the car and there is a cost to everything I just don't want to lose 50k in depreciation in a rapid time.
Not best example but even my Tesla has been pretty bad for that and buying something multiples in terms of cost has me cautious. it shouldn't as it's a cash purchase and it's spare money but I guess I can't shake my upbringing!!!
Got eyes on 2nd hand Portofino currently. Originally looked at California T but it seems better in every way worth the extra.
The Roma Spyder looks insane but could imagine depreciation would be eyewatering.
458 Spyder would have been default choice but just need more than 2 seats occasionally, no matter how impractical.

YOLO, get a 458!
458's values have dropped, suspect they will hit their lowest during Winter so forget needing 4 seats and maybe grab one, epic epic cars, hype is all real.

Saturday night we had the pleasure of an empty airfield and a couple of photographers on hand. Would be rude not to get some pictures.

it isLovely motor to be fair, I originally went to get an Estate Golf R, but I couldn't risk anybody coming in for the keys or the Mrs getting jacked for it, so I went with something a bit more understated.

just coming up for 2 years old soon
had it spruced up a bit after a hard summer of back roads and reservoir tracks fishing in northumberland, ready for a couple of weeks in scotland.

I have E43 and feel exactly the same.Cleaned after ~1000 miles on the continent. I don't think any car I replace it with for £30-40k will be markedly better as an all round car to warrant the extra outlay.

I massively considered them when going for my RS6 to be honest...
I've been considering one myself but I usually buy cars 4 years old or less, which means I'd be looking at a C8, which is completely out of my price range.
Only a few, as I bought it
And as it is now with evo 9 recaros, nardi wheel and less questionable gear knob

Well what can I say, the 600 LT was nothing short of insane, had a great battle with the two new 992 GT3 RS and both had to yield to the McLaren, absolutely gob smacked the 600 was like driving round with a cheat code it was the fastest car on track today and performed faultlessly. Car was a bit too fast for me and I was nowhere near exploiting its maximum potential but still what an amazing car. Let my mate do a session in it as well and he was same easily best car he has driven on track. Then had a nice relaxing drive home with roof down.
Oh and 5mpg on circuit!

You made the right choice. Hard to tell the difference between an AMG and a 2.0 diesel Merc these days.
