Purchased my 87 Targa in 2009 and was immediately hooked. The driving experience, the porsche community, weekend road trips, autocross, and my competitive nature turned the "slippery slope" into a full blown "Avalanche". Most of my free time was consumed with PORSCHE related activities. Any downtime at work was spent reading Pelican threads and scanning the classified ads for parts on my wishlist. Finally after eight years of ownership and probably over $60k spent on maintenance/upgrades (scared to add up invoices) I have the 911 of my dreams. Now Im contemplating the unthinkable, "replacing" the 911.
It feels almost blasphemous typing, but Im thinking about replacing the 911 with a 2005 HONDA S2000. The S2000 has always been on my bucket list and this week I came across a one owner, showroom condition 2005, with 1,650 verified miles on the odometer. A real time capsule, had to buy it!
Now this is where the confusion kicks in. While I'm excited to own two examples of the finest cars Porsche and Honda produced, the reality is I only have a garage and time for one car.
So here are my options:
1. Sell the 911 (even with the spike in the air cooled market, will still take a loss).
2. Place the 911 it long term storage, $300 monthly storage cost and 20 miles from my home (will most likely still there all year not driven)
3. Place the S2000 in long term storage and hope the value increases more then cost of storage.
4. Keep the 911 and flip the s2000 (putting any profit away for a rainy day).
Opinions......?
If I decide to sell..will have tons of great memories
