Rent out your Porsche?
I have an 89s4 that is in great condition now with all maintenance up to date. I was going to sell in spring but have recently been thinking about renting it out. Any insight from those that have done it?

If you care about the money more than the car then do it. If the other way around or it's equal don't do it.

What?!?!

Bad idea, IMHO.
A buddy of mine has 3-4 BMW Z4 that he rents out. They come back in ok condition, but he's always, and I mean always, fixing things on them.

That sounds like an exceedingly bad idea.

You won't get many renters if it's a manual tranny.

Exactly my thought. Hagerty has a program for members to do this. Can you imagine some dufus renting an early ( fill in the blank) where all sorts of stuff will break?

There are people that seem to like doing it, but they're like those Airbnb people that dump tons of money and time into it, not as a side hustle.
