Just sayin'. Tons of Porche on Carvana for $70K - $80K with low miles too.

But, it's a... ...Porsche...

Hell....I think @Jimmy N. has a connection for getting a deal on one.

 

[Speedy!]

But, it's a... ...Porsche...

Exactly, and will hold value and likely be a vehicle worth $100K price tag. That's the point. My buddy just got a 911 Turbo and it's bad ass. His is AWD I think.

We're all going to have to find something else unless you're getting an EV.

Now, you KNOW that's not what I meant...

You mean you don't want the Banshee?

 

[vortecd]

You mean you don't want the Banshee?

For me between the 2 that would be a really hard choice and I have 0 desire to have an ev

 

[Speedy!]

No EV for me at least for a long while. Too much standardization and other issues to work out before I'll even consider that route for a daily driver. I tend to keep cars for a while and these things are gonna be like cell phones for a while with plugs, batteries, and all that changing a lot over the next couple years. People that buy one today will have obsolescence in short order then what'dya do. Talk about depreciation when the new model comes out that charges twice as fast but isn't backward compatible.

 

[jonx96]

Just wait until the cars go EOL for updates and then you have security concerns

 

[Boris]

In my opinion, no. None of these cars are worth 6 figures. The quality and materials just aren't there. Start tearing in to one and you'll see. Cheap plastic used, cardboard panels in some cases, etc. Unless you just want to buy something as a potential collector/investment best bet is to find a used one and let someone else eat the depreciation. Having said that I'm also of the opinion cars are terrible investments.

Now I could buy a Porche and start taking it a part and find the same thing with the materials, but the ones I've driven were certainly higher quality at least on the surface.

Porsche makes 1 fewer than demand to keep their cars valuable.
The GT cars require a large buy in now with dealers or you had to buy that $1M 918 they sold years ago.

American cars are all built as cheap as possibly.

I really want a last call car, i don't want to spend 90k for one.
Let alone 100k for a SS or Redeye.

I've given up on the last call cars. Not going to get bent over in order to buy one.

Never had a Porsche. I would try a souped up beetle.

I'm there.
A couple places will do MSRP on Hellcats.
I have 3 SS's I know about
10k over
15-20k over (management undecided)
35k over (i was #20 yesterday and got a call this morning saying i can order it today)

Turbo and Turbo S models are all AWD. Except that Sport whatever its called that is a manual Turbo S engine RWD car. That is just under 300k MSRP!!!!

I had a verbal agreement on the Super Bee Charger narrow body.
They didn't stick to their word.

Insane bumps by 6-7 dealers that I called.

That would be the one last call car i'd really like.
But i'd want the purple one. I haven't bothered asking. Not paying ZL1 money for a 392

Plum Crazy is the widebody Charger. I prefer the B5 blue.

 

[hell on wheels]

didn't I hear #7 supposedly has carbon fiber wheels? If so, that's some significant cost of part plus OE markup

Sema Banshee got those.

"Sauce" sorta gave it away

Actually...mittigans (Non Italians) call it sauce..we call it gravy..

Ok......so this discussion was had last Saturday night. I was hanging out with a bunch of Sicilians and they all said they called it "sauce" and not gravy. I know some non-Sicilians that call it gravy. There is definitely a divide on which one it is called.

I don't care which one it's called just as long as it's red, and tastes good on my pasta or meatballs. I'm a man of discriminating taste

I can't remember but there's a difference between the two.
