Anyone want a 2014 991 Targa?

[GWN7]

I found $4 in change and a bucks worth of Canadian Tire money in the car I picked up today. Is that enough for a down on that car?

The targa bar looks right! They did a nice job including such a retro piece and the proper shape opening.

I would imagine the fact that there is / was a long wait for this model keeps the price up, even though it is "used" now.

It amazes me how much this costs new. I like it, but for that kind of money, I would buy something else, just like K predicted ...

I sold a 79 Turbo for a good customer of the shop I used to work at, over the last week. Of course had to drive it to offer perspective to prospective buyers. Obviously two different cars but I suspect I would prefer the Turbo for somewhat similar money.

Only one of the two will appreciate. But not so good for a daily driver.

Living vicariously through you Richard. I don't have that kind of money even in the pressed pants hanging inside my closet. You go!

The Turbo was fine actually, pretty docile out and about. And you are talking to a man who contorts getting in and pulls/crawls out of a fixed back bucket in the 84, a few times a day. .

We should start timesharing cars here, for $2400 each 52 of us could share that car, one week a year, for say 10 years, then sell and roll into the next car? $240 a year for a week rental in a 991 Targa? Hell yeah!

[mikester]

Yeah, that's pretty sweet except for the auto thing. I know autos have come a long way and it probably is a blast to drive but I love my manual Cayman.

whew...got it quoted. Never know when I'll need to use it against you. HA!!



Regarding the car...anyone remember Grady talking about which new 911 he would buy and own long term? I think it was a 997, fairly stripped, manual, no a/c, etc..
While this one isn't quite bare-bones, this could be a car to own long term and drive the snot out of it.

Although I have no personal experience with them, I understand that the PDK transmission has little in common with a conventional automatic. Twin-clutch boxes are an entirely different animal.

I saw a new Targa during Monterey Car Week at Retro Auto...looks awesome in person.

Sold today and the new owner traded a 2007 997 S Cabriolet with 33K miles

Actually had two prospective buyers wanting it at the same time. The one who missed out was an unhappy camper. It's funny how things work.
