market

i am thinking of changing my 355 spider and was wondering if cars are moving at the mo? i have read a lot about asset prices picking up and quite fancy getting something that i can use bit more often than the 355, have always fancied a 612 or maybe a visit back the Porsche badge in the form of a 993.....

my 355 is the "preferred" manual LOL, is reasonably low mileage at 25000, its got a good history and i have had it looked after by foskers, i think that i paid strong money for it as the market was strong when i bought it, i also wanted blue with tan which are not easy to find, ive spent about £10k on it since i have had it, so all in it owes me just over £100k, i dont need the money so no need to sell from that perspective it more from the perspective that i would like something that i drive more, i dont like to take it out in the rain for instance ;-)

one of the specialist dealers suggested £85k, which at that level i would just stick in the garage for another year

what you think? stick or twist?

i think that i will use it this summer and see how i feel and if i see anything interesting crop up then maybe see if theres a deal to be done ;-)

Cheers junior I will drop them a line and see what it went for, it took me a long time to find a blue and tan manual

I used to drive my 993 everywhere although I was a lot younger in those days and that included an early season ski trip and completely illegal speeds 😂

cheers junior, thats a nice looking one but in theory mine should be a bit more desirable on the colour scheme anyway as one the reason that i bought tan rather than crema is that apparently crema is a nightmare to live with, it helped that i also preferred tan ;-)
