I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
Sadly few around and dealers still looking a mark-up for them, even used.
Money no object you could buy a Cayman GT4 (unbelievably good car), run it as an occasional plaything and although main dealer servicing will be expensive you'll not lose much (if anything) when you sell it
Dangerous to presume what one can afford, no?
I wouldn't say it is all affordability - a lot of my personal views are cars are because I live in Cambridge (well, near enough) and if every dickhead who had a cayenne, range rover sport/evoque, 911 or jag traded in for a more suitable city car (they're usually transporting themselves and, at most, one other) they'd be travelling faster and wouldn't crawl over speedbumps, and could negotiate some of the tighter turns without needing to crawl (or in some instances, mount the pavement or simply not turn left until traffic in the right lane has also cleared).
Naturally, if I lived near some of the gorgeous, smooth, winding roads in mainland Europe, I'd probably be much more positive towards a sportier car.
Happy for anyone who enjoys them! I've driven sporty cars while at uni as I was friends with a lot of enthusiasts but I never "got" it. I always much preferred a super comfy hatchback or coupe. Maybe that'll change as I get older - but my dream is to never drive again, so probably not!
I had very little.draw to all this through my 20s 30s and.most of my 40s. But now I just want to. No measure of practicality has been applied
The cost and can I afford it is one of the most asked questions.
My view was and still is it’s a car it’s going to cost you and usually at a time you can least afford it.
All that said you can easily get a 5k bill on a 2nd hand Mondeo these days or pretty much any car.
yeah running costs mpg tyres etc are all going to be a lot more than the average family saloon but you won’t feel the same driving a Kia.
Ultimately 911 model research known flaws uncorrected and history are worth boning up on to avoid the beginner mistakes of buying with heart rather than head.
But of any of its ilk the 91@ is still the best daily driver and weekend thrill.
Would I do it again probably not as around the south east where I live there are few empty uncamered roads where you can give it a cheeky blip or nice country lanes to test the handling, such is the world we live in these days.
