trade 911 for denali?? am i nuts
i went to the gym today in my jeep which i love, i rarly drive the 911, i was all about it for a few years did a million mods to it, still love it but only drive it a dozen times a year... never in rain or snow etc, this sounds nuts but its almost too much trouble to drive it! i see this lady get into a white yukon denali and i couldnt take my eyes off the car, about 2 years ago we put a side on one that was smashed at the body shop i worked at, i got to drive it for a few days..so comfy and easy to drive, i didnt want to give it back. now that gas is high i feel like i could trade my 911 and get some cash and one of these...am i nuts? im only 22 and no plans of a wife and kids anytime soon but i have a secret passion for these..opinions?

Yes, I think you're insane.
In 5 years, the 911 will have value. The Denali might be worth $5k. If you're lucky. Keep the 911. Trust me. SUVs are worthless these days and dealerships can't give them away. If you really think you need AWD, look at a Subie or something like that.

wow...what color is the sky on your planet?
step away ...do deep knee bends and breathing exercises. the feeling will pass. you have an 86 carrera coupe, drive the thing. quit saving it for the next guy that buys it. your car would be a fantastic daily. you just may have to park it far from the denali owning moms that swing wide with the doors.

How can you compare a well sorted 911 with a 4,000lbs truck.
I think you should drive the Denali, experience the 10mpg and see if you like it. If you do... well good for you. |

Cars are meant to be driven take the Porsche out and drive it. Parking it in the garage sucks all the joy out of ownership. Drive it dirty for 2 weeks hell drive it dirty for a month, who cares, its a car. I was bummed out on days when I had to leave my 911 home.
Drive that car and do not buy that tank.

Save up $6k and you can get one at the auction. A dealer will thank you for taking it off his lot because its been sitting for 9 months.

This is a joke right ?? I"m pretty sure it's Snowman coming back to play a trick on us..
Dude you can get a used Yukon for $3-4k and only 100k miles, You could be boinking the chick in the Yukon if you drove your 911 more often..

Even on a Denali forum they would call you nuts.

You've been drinking too much water that's been tainted with the stuff that makes rainbows with your lawn sprinklers.

So, you were using a customer's car as a daily driver?

Porsche = icon
SUV = POS I guarantee you 100% you will regret the decision in 20 years. If you don't, I will buy the Denali from you at the end of this 20 year period. It will be worth less than the cost of the tow. The Porsche, however, will be worth north of $50K by that point. If well taken care of, the Porsche will still run great. If well taken care of, the Denali will be a giant lawn ornament.
