Sad day, I have decided it’s time

As much as it breaks my heart I have come to realize it is time to pass on my 911. I have owned it since summer of 2010, bought it with 88k miles and it now has 100,550 miles.
I simply just don’t drive it like it’s supposed to be (back and forth to golf club every weekend) and frankly I’m getting scared to drive with all the morons on the road and the stupid money these things are bringing

My car is perfect in every way even with all her “beauty” marks.
If anyone has any interest let me know, I’m going to post it over in the for sale section

I may be starting a little high but I’m thinking 70k

Blaspheme! Blaspheme I say. Burn him at the stake!

No wait, it is just a car, and if you don't have the joy of driving it regularly, pass it on to someone that will love it, and drive it. I am up to 182,000 miles on my 85, and I plan a 4,000 mile road trip this summer. Mine is for sale for $250,000 or a even swap for a new 2022 911 Turbo S. I would think 70 grand is a fair price, but I don't want to sell for any reasonable price. Only stupid money will get me to sell mine.

Good luck re-homing your car.

Sorry to hear that Justin.

Anyway all the best and sad that you got thrown off Pelican Parts forums for not owning a Porsche and had to hang out with the Camry crowd online

I think I've reached the same conclusion ... but she just sits in the garage collecting dust .

20 years for me... and I know once she's gone .... she's gone.

Just make sure before you let her go.... and best of luck!

I’ve recently reached the same conclusion but I’ve given myself a year or 2 to accept this decision. I think I put 150 miles on mine last year. I just don’t go anywhere anymore. I used to look for excuses to drive it but all I really do is drive in a big circle and come home.

The forum may be having a hard time with the iPhone format. Are you sure you're using jpeg to post?

I can never post pics from my iPhone. First I have to email it to myself and go through the resizing option via gmail (use medium) and then download the pic from email to whatever device I’m using PP on. A real annoyance, like not being able to upload a short video directly. My 2 biggest complaints about this forum

Curious to see how marketplace works out for you . I really don't want to do the BAT thing. Im getting ready to pull the trigger and let some stuff go also . Just not finding the time to enjoy anymore . Life , work, kids insurance , upkeep .

Fred I have heard the BAT is just very difficult to get a listing on especially 911s

Most modern phones take big photos (high megapixel cameras) and so they may be too large to post directly. You may end up having to resize on a computer and then post.

I know where you're at. I'm there too. Good luck with the sale. I'm pondering the BAT route.

I sold my seventh, and I suspect last, 911 a couple of months ago because, as appears to be the case with several of you, I just wasn't driving it enough.

They're nice to look at ... but not that nice.

Best of luck on your sale. At the end of the day it's a material object. Should you regret selling it there is another available.
