Yea, when I start thinking about how expensive they are the fun just goes away.

that it does.

[Oh Haha]

I see lots of vehicles I would like but am holding out for another 911 next spring. For a DD, we are thinking about leasing something new. Probably going to end up being a GM vehicle because the wife's family get the discount.

When I got my X3 did so because the cheapest Cayenne at the time was $54K.
Did recent look up Panameras and they are still above $40K for used as are Macans.

[flipper35]

This is the color of our car.

[RKDinOKC]

Wonder what Sidney can do for me? Understand their is a chip that adds a bunch of horsys and gets 5mph better mileage too.

[RKDinOKC]

This is the color of my 928, and the color is why I bought it...

[Porsche-poor]

Not wanting to upset Glen but blue is the best color!

[flipper35]

Well isn't white actually a non color?

[flipper35]

This is close to what hte Cobra will be. It may or may not have the strobe on the side in white similar to the old E bodies.

[RKDinOKC]

Had two black cars and did not like having black cars. Just too hard for me to keep them clean and purdy all shinyed up.

[flipper35]

Black looks nice when clean.

[RKDinOKC]

Yep it does, but just a personal thing about keeping it that way.

Oh man, don't know if I am going to be able to handle the insurance increase for the Turbo over the S. It's going to be $4 more a year.

[Jim Richards]

Aubergine is the hot ticket.

[Oh Haha]

My 78 Camaro was Polo Green. A Corvette color that was only offered one year, 1994 I think. The truck I had was black. Keeping those clean as well as my then wife's dark car was a full time job.

I vowed after that to never have a dark color vehicle. Our Honder is Black Cherry which looks nice but , for the record, I was against it.

When I found my SC it was the exact color I would have chosen. Even when dirty it looked clean.

[RKDinOKC]

Dang it. Seller hasn't sent me the signed bill of sale yet. He was supposed to do that in time for me to wire the money today and I had a transport ready to pick it up this evening and deliver it here Sunday. Not sure how they were going to do that.

He is saying his printer/scan won't scan just says it is out of ink. Need it for a copy of the title, his license, and a signed bill of sale. Supposed to go get some at Staples. Told him to just go to kinkos, using their scanner is cheaper than ink.

Now I can't wire monies until Monday because banks don't wire money on the weekends.

Hope this deal doesn't fall through.

[RKDinOKC]

I am officially very pissed off.

[Oh Haha]

I know it doesn't help but I'm sorry things went sideways today.

[Porsche-poor]

With good reason. Hope it all works out.

Guy had already sent me a signed bill of sale.
Was going to his office to copy both sides of the title and his driver's license.
I arranged to have it picked up today.

After he went to make the copies did not hear from him nor would he answer his phone, emails, or text.

3pm was the deadline for my credit union to wire money so did not wire it.
Called the transport service and told them it would at least be Monday afternoon before they could pick it up.

The transport service evidently didn't get word to their driver. The truck showed up at his house at 10 minutes of 4pm. He refused the pickup. At 5 minutes to 4pm the tranport driver called to tell me the guy wouldn't let him have the car. I then called the service and they said no big deal they just couldn't get ahold of the driver in time to cancel the pickup and would reschedule for monday afternoon/evening.

At 4:03 pm received an email explaining while he was making the copies a person in his office offered $100 more to sell it to him, they went to an ATM and he got $500 down payment. And the guy was going to pay the balance Monday. Said he was sorry and I would be the first one he called if the deal fell thru.

Replied to his email saying he had sent me a signed bill of sale, told me specifically a down payment wasn't necessary and all he had to do was email those copies and he would have the money in his account and he saw that the transport company would have been there at 4 to pick it up and he would have been done with it.

Sent him another email telling him that I had arranged for the transport since he had sent me a bill of sale and he owed me $100 it cost me to hire the transport.

Have not heard from him since, so sent an email and a text that said.

"Well, it was nice meeting and talking to a person of integrity that is such a man of their word as he was."

My nephew that buys and sells cars all the time said he was probably trying to scam me and asking him to produce copies of the Title and his driver's license and him one then coming up with the excuse that he sold it was proof.
