Leaving this community, well, not totally

[Nico911]

Hi guys.

I came to a point where I decided to sell my beloved '85 Carrera to get a more practical-wife-and-kids-friendly-ac-working recent car. I guess I'm leaving this community here who helped me a lot when I had question about my 911. I want to thank you guys, it was fun to exchange and learn from experienced enthusiasts like you.

BUT, the apple never falls too far from the tree : I found a 2001 996 twin turbo in a truly amazing condition. I should get the car next week, can't wait, I'm like a kid before Christmas, you know that feeling...

Buying an 'old' 911 was a great achievement for me : I like these car since I'm 10 and the 3.2 Carrera was certainly the generation that got me into the Porsche-mania. I will be back for sure, probably when the market switches back to a more buyer friendly market, ... if it ever does.

Recently, the market, as everyone knows, got a little crazy and I tried to do a smart move money wise. Of course, if I could run two 911s, I would not have sold my targa, but I had to take the hard decision to let it go. It sold pretty fast... Good thing is : the buyer is a private owner who has a little car collection. I certainly didn't what to sell it to a reseller/speculator.

Thanks again, and let's hope I'm back here soon or later. A nice '89 M491 coupe would do just fine.

In the meantime, I'll be driving this 996 tt, what a wicked machine !

Congrats to you! I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of these stories if the market keeps going up.

You WILL be back. Once you get these kind of cars in your blood, there is no... you know the rest.

Nothing says "kid friendly" like a twin-turbo 911.

In today's market, I think 996 tt (and 993 as well) are the best bang for the buck.
