When selling my 991, i tried a few younger people in my surroundings (with disposable income) to gauge their interest. Sub 30y olds are really not into cars. That raises the question when they will be the biggest vote in the car world and therefore our used Porsches become unsellable?

Well, I clearly took to small a sample.. good to hear. Also have to say that Amsterdam where I am based is a lot cheaper for housing than London. Car insurance is probably half of that in the UK and the people I was referencing are in the lucky disposition to earn a very decent income. On the other hand, everyone cycles, a train ride is max 52 euro to go anywhere in the Netherlands 2nd class and parking in Amsterdam is a mare. Seems more of a local problem that youth passes on the opportunity to own a car.

You can't try sell your 991 to some under 20's who aren't interested then make the sweeping assumption that youngsters are not into cars. There's some serious bias in that assumption.
These were males between 27 and 33 working in finance. High disposables and at a age you have little obligations typically.But the fact none of them even own a car says it all to me! I will tone it down in saying hardly any youngsters are into cars smile
