I personally have no problem with it ... Everyone has / had the same opportunity to buy it ... the biggest issue is that most buyers look at it from a keeper point of view, not a flip. So the evaluation of should I buy it becomes emotional rather than logical and ends up taking longer than it should. I love that we live in a country that we can do this ... it extends to houses, collectibles, stamps, coins, etc. We all do it in some form or another .. Buy low and sell for a profit.

If everyone sends a message with a dumb question it won’t take long to erode his margin. I think each enquiry costs a stealer $50 Fishcop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How well they buy and sell is how they are judged. I wonder if anyone here has bought and sold and made a profit would be treated in the same vein. I'm sure there are plenty of air cooled owners who have made a tidy profit. Even those who have recently sold a 996 have reaped the rewards.....

Black is impossible to keep clean as a daily (if you're not retired) Don't know about the boring bit, but you're 100 piss ant right with the keeping it clean. Once you have driven out of your driveway, it needs another wash and polish.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have qualified that by saying that black cars in fact look awesome when they are clean & well kept, but as I am time poor a black car owned by me would look like it was currently housing a family of Badgers.......untidy Badgers at that........
