I currently have a 944 N/A. Have found a good deal on a 951 that runs well for under $4K. She says that I can get it if I sell the N/A. Would like to keep both . Is this going to be posible?

I love porsche

it is better to ask for forgiveness than permission

No HTwo O

Buy the car for you, and get her a boob job...for her & you!

I did that. I told her it was a good buy and since cars are my domain, there was no problem then. Every once and a while, she breaks them a bit if she wants something. When you get, you have to give sooner or later.

Maybe give her the N/A for a daily driver? She loves riding in it. It has cold A/C and is a blast to drive.

Trust me....

My dad has bought so many vehicles under the same circumstances as you, and I have watched the smoke clear after he initially gets his *** reamed, in 24 hours tops. The worst reponse to any of his purchases is when he showed up with a Subaru 360 (tiny micro-car like clown's use in the circus...pretty much a beater). His friend, a master Subaru tech was supposed to buy it, but did not want to do the body work it needed, so my dad bought it instead. The purchase was viewed as a conspiracy for my dad to want to buy it from the beginning (total bs) and hell broke loose when it was unloaded from his friends trailer in front of the house., Even in that case, by the next day, all was well. The car was hidden in the back shed, and all ball-pein hammers were locked up

If you get lucky, some day you will sell the thing and make some $$. Then you can turn to your wife like my dad does to my mom and say. " When is the last time you bought something at the mall and sold it for a profit"? That usually ends one argument and starts the next. Just be sure to have an alternate source of lodging, just in case.

I vote....Go for it!!

Maybe try to explain to her this is still cheaper then you selling the N/A to buy a 993 or a new Caymen S.

I just went through this buying a 968...tell her you are buying it for her, then put race seats in it and upgrade the suspension...it will then become too uncomfortable for her to drive and it's all yours again

Just buy it. When I meet "that" woman, it will be crystal clear that I will spend lots of money on flying and cars. Or other women, her choice

Well, duh. There's your answer. Who cares if it's "hers" it's still in your driveway and you have the keys.

Alternatively, tell her that you'll put the n/a on the market as soon as you get the 951 all sorted out. And that's never really going to happen.

Is she more logical than emotional? If she's more logical, explain the price range that these cars usually sell in and that it is a smoking deal. If she is more emotional tell her how stoked you would be to have one. As far as selling yours...you never get back what you put into a car, she understands that or she doesn't. If she likes riding in the 944, take her for the test drive in the 951 and let her get a feel for some boost I think you can pull off keeping both (assuming doing so wouldn't cause any financial strain) with minimal drama. But then again, I don't know your wife.

I honestly could not really see owning both. Just too close to the same car to really want to have both.

Buy the 951. Take what you like from the 944 and sell it.

I like a little diversification in my vehicles. (and I do have 2 Porsches, but totally different ones)

If I ever had the luxury of "buying what I want, to heck with the wife" The reprocussions could mean a pool boy named Raul always over "maintaining" the pool.
