Owners are out enjoying them. Great cars.
Others not talking about feckin price rises, appreciation and the bubble bursting etc which I just find dull as now
Sadly it's more likely because of the low numbers and escalating values, they've all been bought up and put in collections by speculators who don't use them!Others not talking about feckin price rises, appreciation and the bubble bursting etc which I just find dull as now
The owners I know are still using their cars on a regular basis, it's never been a hugely discussed model on these forums. I'd imagine that some of the cars sold in the last 12 months will have gone off the roads into people's pension planning but as I said the owners I know are still using them.
My 997 was out last night tearing up the roads, I don't use it much at the moment but that's not because of the value just not getting the time.

Not sure I could talk for a long while if it did this to me :-)

Well I don't like to disappoint you all but I've had mine for 7 years now and I don't use it much maybe 10 times a year in the summer. But I will say every time I use it I feel a sense of occasion and I really enjoy owning it , the level of enjoyment I get from the car is amazing. The 996 gt2 is a awsome car I never clean it I get it valeted after I use it.
I bought the car from the first owner and I didn't even test drive it and driving home I didn't even realise how amazing the car was but after getting used to it I found it a inspirational drive different and better to any car or motorbike I have ever owned or been in. I intend keeping the car forever and enjoying it each and every time I use it. A couple of weeks ago I bought a Tickford capri which I intend to use a similar amount purely for enjoyment.

Wonder what ever happened to my old high miler?
I remember seeing that come up for sale two or so months after I bought my 996T. I remember it was for sale for not a huge amount more than I paid, and I REALLY wanted a 996 GT2 at the time. If only I was still on the lookout..Adam B said:

Adam B, this piccie from December on a cold wet winters day. Parked in an industrial estate in Liverpool. Try to get it out for a run at least once every 2 weeks. Just try to avoid the salt in winter as much as possible.
