Default Sell or keep advice

Moving to FL in a month for job relocation. I never had good experience shipping a cars. Was thinking of selling 930 for 30k which is what I have into it. My ? Is do I sell here in va, or take the shipping risk. Car is very nice with no scratches.

I hope your AC is in good working order if you are moving to Fl. The humidity and heat will make it unuseable as a commuter if it is not. The rain is so predictable that you know when the windows will have to be up and the AC is a must at that point.

Sell keep sell keep sell keep sell keep sell keep sell keep.......what a conundrum. Ship and keep, I say. This is why God made insurance, to cover your ***(etts). Besides, there're are chicks (and blue-hairs) in Florida and that would love to take you for a ride. I guess it depends on where your relocation lands you. Plus, lots of 930 owners and experts down there. If you've grown attached to the 930, then keep it. But what about your F car....is it going with you?

Is this your daily driver? If not then put it in storage somewhere during your move. After settling in your new home fly back to your car then drive it to your new home over the weekend. That's what I would do.

What....are we purists? 930's are not meant to be comfortable. Sweating is good, it's part of the visceral 930 experience. AC or not, I sweat when pushing the limit.

I live in a hot semi-arid environment, but with relative humidities topping out at maybe 20% I guess I really don't need AC (good thing, 'cause mine's sitting in a box on the shelf). Brings back fond memories of when I lived outside of Chicago. Couldn't even lift a finger without sweating my ***** off. Luckily she liked sweaty *****.....

Saying Florida is perfect for a 930 really makes me want to take it. My dd is a 2jz supra that beats bikes.
