hmmm. . . . I'm just trying to wordsmith a similar ad for my car:
"You too can own timeshares in a well maintained classic impact bumper Porsche! Six months are still available - August (unfortunately, no A/C in this car, but Oregon heatwaves aren't too brutal.), November, December, January, February, March and April - Your Choice! 2000 per month plus deposit!

who in their right mind would pay over $1000 per month just to drive a car? porsche or not the only way i would do that was if i went to the track every single day of my 4 weeks and beat the hell out of it with no regard for the well being of the car, and had more money that i could possibly spend.

Yes it does seem kinda dumb to time-share a 996 for $4000 a month if I could lease a brand new 997 for about $1k a month.

If it happens, it confirms the theory that there is a sucker born every minute.

So how close is Plantation to a racetrack? This would make a really inexpensive 'winter track rental' for someone like me who lives in the cold. |

Sounds like they have time shares and cars mixed up. Is someone needing to make a payment?

Plantation is driving distance to Daytona, Sebring, Homestead, and Palm Beach International Raceway!! All of whom do track days YEAR round
 I also read it as $4k + $200/month used BUT FOR LIFE... So what kind of comp. do I get when someone else smashes the car up? Who pays the deductible? what happens when I use up the set of rears in the 1st week of my share... then use up the second set the weekend after  who picks the tires that get put on the car? yada yada yada the questions go on and on and on...-michael

Lets ignore if it is a smart thing to do, I would be really curious as how the title to the car is handled.
