|New Toy Required
Discussion
I have the good fortune to think about a new toy - don't know why but here we are
So, have 9934S + 991 GT3 + SL500
All great cars in their own right but as the 9934S and GT3 are worth silly money I find myself using them on a restricted basis
So the SL 500 is used mostly
Oddly enough the SL500 was crunched in London so spent three weeks in the garage during which time I had Carrera 2S as a loan car
Nice as it was it was nothing compared to the GT3 - nothing !
So, I now realise that my toy has to be non Porsche as I have two of the best + I like the contrast with the SL500 v the sports car
But I am stuck! Thought of CL63 AMG - too big, CLS63 AMG - don't like the profile , Audi ????, RS6 salon ? BMW - M6 ??? Maserati - no thanks
Jaguar XFR ? Mmmm, not old enough
Budget about £30,000 max
Stuck ...... any thoughts welcomed

The 993 (if its a good one and wears high mileage) will not depreciate much more if you put another 10/20k on it - DRIVE IT!
The GT3 (is currently worth around £40/50k more than list) Sell it and release the equity or keep it and risk enjoyment for the lure of capital growth. Either way, you should drive the sodding car as that's what its for!
This whole dilemma you claim to have seems odd to me. It's like having two Victoria Secrets models lounging in bed at home and you are surfing adult websites lusting after others!
That made me smile - but I just like cars and the money I save by not having two Victoria Secrets models on my bed I can spend on another car ....The GT3 (is currently worth around £40/50k more than list) Sell it and release the equity or keep it and risk enjoyment for the lure of capital growth.
