When he left my friend said to me "that is why he just sales them and I am be able to buy them"
The GT2RS will be another used car in a few years that will be over shadowed by Porsche latest offering, on the other hand, the 959 will always be a ground breaking statement of Porsche engineering to the world and has a place in history, that is why it is so sought after and will always be sought after.
People with 959's usually have a few driver Porsches to use.

Completely agree. I'd love to hear the story of buying a 959 for $160k, did not know that they were ever that cheap(?)
