If the economy takes a hit, and it will I am sure, some guys will starting dumping their expensive toys, 911 being one of them

Yes, 992. Your friends must be shopping at the dealership more than I do. I am a nobody at my dealer, of course. I wasn't able to get an allocation even with a 10% above MSRP (my spec was in the 180k range). They were basically auctioning off allocations ... "how much are you willing to pay over sticker?". Naturally, there were others that wanted a new GT3 more badly and loaded them into the 200k+ range with options.
Back on subject, the dealer did ask if I was selling my 993. I am sure I would have been higher on the list ordering a new GT3 if I would have let them take the 993 in trade for next to nothing. Interestingly this dealer will not shy away from buying an air cooled car and selling it in their used car lot!
Reminds me, I should go back there and see what's in store for next year. A European delivery needs to be during the summer months to make sense.
