As far as the Porsche goes, any newer 911 will do. I'm sure I'll be in the 7-8 year old range whenever we buy... Non turbo. I need it to be in the 30s or less. I won't tie up more than that in another toy. She really wants one with the whale tail (80s) but I'm not sure I want one that old.

I look now and again. These are the last few I found.



Not too keen on the verts...



Just a dream

How many years out before you seriously shop for one?

Porsche gives 4/50k factory (or 5/50k I get it mixed up). When I bought my Cayman the extended 7yr/76k cost me another $4k added to the loan. When I was shopping the lot in Alexandria had a '06 Carrera S for about 40k but low mileage.

I'm not a vert fan for pretty much any model car. The wife and I rented an Eclipse vert in Orlando to visit my mom a couple Aprils ago, the lid was down for about 5 minutes, couldn't stand the sun beating down on me.

You know whats funny on the flip side, when my daily driver is beat to death in 4-5 more years I might get a lightly used V6 Camaro to turn into my daily driver, I hear depending on how hard you push the car you can get decent hwy mileage and I have a straight shot to work, no traffic and all on Rt 15.
