Andy, Umm ahh well yaa see .... Just one of those things. Started a new business in March and I dumped a ton of personal assets into it, not that the 18.5 that I got for that targa amounts a lot in the big picture business wise.

A few years back I played hockey with a guy that was interested in Porsches. I told him if he was ever looking to give me a call I could help him out since I’ve owned and sold quite a few. So one day this past March he called out of the blue looking for a targa. Took me about a month to make the decision but after one look at the car he just said, “How much?” I gave him the price and he said that’s fine. It was such an easy sale, I didn’t even have to advertise anywhere and I had had that car going on 3 years it was just time to go.

Fast forward to today…. Our business has done very very well and I still have a nice chunk of change from the targa sale, add that to the capital I’ve been setting aside plus I am finally agreeing to sell the Road King, that makes enough for one really expensive car or two medium priced. My wife loves the targas and she really has her heart set one. So the idea is since I am going to be maintaining it and using to a large degree too why not get her a nice targa and keep looking till I find the next one for myself. I am lucky that my wife said “hell yea” to 2 Porsches as long as she always had access to one. We’re both in our 40’s so kids are not really in the cards at this point, we’ve dropped the GDP of a small nation on fertility Doctors otherwise we’d be looking at his and hers 993 TT’s ( I don’t care for the water pumpers).

I’ve been taking my sweet old time while looking. I’ve been to Manheim a couple of times and I scan the 911 markets frequently. One thing about buying cars is the ones I am looking at are not all that rare and I know that if I miss one there is another right around the next corner. I worked a lot this past summer so I knew I would not have all the time to devote to the car search that I would have liked. Now that winter is near by and our business is into a good flow I’ll emerge come spring (or sooner) with one or two new cars.

That’s the long version of my answer
