Upset from family at potential 993 sale

[belfry]

I have bought and sold several nice cars over the years without much comment but when I suggested to my family that I was going to sell my blue 993 C2 manual coupe there was a big reaction! My teenage daughters are giving me dagger looks and begging me to keep it. My wife is also pretty upset. What is it about these cars that generates such love?

I have a 996, 612 and 1967 merc sl in the collection, none of which attracts such loyalty.

Nice marketing!

My decision to sell was partly based on an offer from a Porsche Indi for my car. So, when I sell, it'll probably go there for simplicity's sake.

Another factor was the question of how much further these cars have to go in terms of value. My merc has cost me £35k with a potential ceiling of £100k. My 993 has cost me £15k with an ceiling of £30k. Time to sell ?

I have a feeling that was the point of this post....

Seriously, I am much more interested in trying to understand my daughters` love for the 993. None of them have driven it, I doubt that they are interested in values, the 612 is more comfortable etc etc.But they think that it is cool and they seem to have an emotional connection to it,

I recently sold a 997C4S and the family didn't mention it. They do seem to have a connection with the 993.
