As the owner of a 2003, 911, 996TT, and someone who looked at, test drove, and almost bought a representative of all of the following versions, they are so hugely different as to almost not even be the same car: 996 Cabriolet 996 Coupe 997 911S 997 911 my current 996TT plus others. And I haven't even mentioned any of the older air-cooled versions, which I have yet to have the pleasure to drive. Of course, all of these models are historic, and the current model is vastly different still, with its EPS, and price that would make your banker blush.

I feel bad for the seller....has no idea what was sold. 892 miles? Shame. I drive mine guiltlessly because I paid a fair price for it and never expected it to gain value. I'll never regret the time spent at the track.

On the subject of Porsches, some people assume that their sports cars are all pretty wonderful. Go have a look at an old Boxster, like a 2000 model, and you will see that Porsche was fully capable of making pieces of shit.

The real question: how much did it beat the market by? Had the owner invested the money into a SnP index in 2011 would the sum of his investment be worth more than 92.5k?
June 2011 to October 2018= 125.405% in the SnP 500 Let's use an avg 1 M base price of 49k. And you would end up with $110,470. The owner did get to drive it for 892 miles but he essentially paid $20 per mile... (an Aventador cost about $17 per mile lol) My point: it's really hard to make a good buck being cars as an investment. The real winners in are the 1M buyers that bought the car, drove it for 20-40k miles then sold it for about what they paid for in 2011

How reputable is car gurus at reporting selling prices? Is this a formal auction price or just some number an hourly e-commerce employee at a dealer punched in?

He still has his 997.1 911 Turbo he ordered with special equipment and basically stopped driving it because he immediately fell in love with his 1M after the first drive. 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. |

The only thing special about this car is that so few were made. The M2 is better in every regard, and it looks waaay better. The only reason to buy this car at that price is because it's your unicorn.

I must be alone but drove two 1Ms on two different occasions with the intent to buy and just could not do it. I had an F80 M3 at the time and the 1M felt inferior in every way. So the only thing going for it were the looks and bragging rights. I don't care about bragging rights so that left me with just looks.
I never buy anything on looks alone so I still have yet to experience what makes these cars so desirable, maybe some that also loves to drive cars can enlighten me... |
