He said it felt alive in his hands, and that the Turbo was crazy in regards to power and speed but the 1M has power one can use without going to jail.
He still says he will never sell it. His 1M only has 1,200 miles and he has put on 200 of it.

That sounds like a contradictory story. He loves how it drives so much he doesn’t drive his Porsche but has only put 200 miles on his 1M.
I will say again, unless you’re buying this car strictly as a speculative investment, it’s not worth $92k to drive around. It’s special, just not that special. And I realize I’m posting in a 1M forum with fanboys who all fantasize their cars will be worth millions. But for just a few more grand, I bought a CPO Boxster and a new Corvette. I could buy a Z06 which I feel is an incredible car for less than an this aging 1M cost. |
My car definitely won't be worth millions. I have driven it as intended, and am not shy about it. I could probably sell it for original MSRP give or take a few grand despite 7 years and 53k miles of pure enjoyment. Name another car that would do THAT for me. Not a fanboy....just a driving addict who found the perfect match.
