Mike D'Silva Posted 3June, 2014 Report Share Posted 3June, 2014 its got funny LED lights... pretty sure they are a motorcycle light!?!? Apparently not the original colour and not an offical porsche colour either.. it's been tinted and modified etc. However, from the photos, looks a lovely car.

Mike D'Silva Posted 3June, 2014 Report Share Posted 3June, 2014 I've always wondered what people who own a Porsche, do for a job... lotto winners? high paid execs? drug dealers? scrimping and saving? I've always dreamed of owning a newish 911 but a couple of hundred grand is still a third of a house for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always dreamed of owning a newish 911 but a couple of hundred grand is still a third of a house for me... In civilised countries the people who buy Porsches are merely those with decent incomes. In tax-it,tax-it,and-regulate-it land, you need to be a successful business owner, celebrity or trust fund kiddie to cross the dealer threshold and sign away multiple hundreds of K on a fast depreciating piece of machinery. Heck, in some of those places a house to live in doesn't cost high multiples of your income and leaves even more left over for buying stuff like cars.

Also the price keeps changing which is a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lucky sperm club favours some in established family businesses , a few owners (mostly lessees) are successful entrepreneurs riding the boom-bust rollercoaster, celebrities (including sportspeople - basically in the entertainment industry) and then there are a few subspecialised surgeons and dentists in the mix. "Scrimping & saving" might work until the first tyre or service bill comes in. As has been noted , there is a price and a value with these luxury goods.

I was imagining a more elaborate story that involved 'underbelly' scandal and large explosions..............your suggestion is probably more accurate though.

Risk takers make up a good percentage, the rest are either enthusiasts or insanely wealthy. You've got to have big brass balls or very deep pockets to say goodbye to $200k in 3 years on a car. Everyone has a different pain threshold I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurK Posted 4June, 2014 Report Share Posted 4June, 2014 I've always dreamed of owning a newish 911 but a couple of hundred grand is still a third of a house for me... But you see thats why you cannot rationalise the decision to purchase new................ If I could sell assets and live in cars I would Not realistic and I do prefer marriage over cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
