Default Goodbye Porsche friends

Well it's been fun, sold my 997 last night.

I am now on the hunt for a sedan -- it's looking like a C63 AMG (2012/13) or a new S4...

You'll be back.... I sold my '07 turbo, and have been through a brand new '09 V8V and a brand new '13 C63 AMG coupe.....now sitting in a '11 GTS and could not be happier! Good Luck with your new vehicle.

You'll be back very soon, C63 and S4 are great sedans but boring.

I agree: the closer I get to selling my TT, (which I have not gotten close to yet) I get sad and think about how there isn't another car like these Porsche's!

good luck!

I sold my 997 three month ago and bought the exact car back yesterday!
I thought I could live without it, but what's the point then ...

Sold my 2005 997 S cause I thought I wanted/needed a sedan. I kept my CLS63 for about a year before I was totally bored and swapped it for a new 2010 997.2 S.
Ms, AMGs and Ss are nice cars but they aren't Porsches.

You will be back. I have a 2010 S4 with APR stage 2+. It's fast, sounds great, sporty and luxurious for what it is, but it's not a 911.

I was without a Porsche for about 5 months. Any time I mention selling my C2S, my wife screams "No you don't, you'll buy a TT next, I know you".


She is right.

How did you sell it? I'm on autotrader every few days and yours didn't pop up. It was there a long time ago for what seemed to be a year.

I just sold my 2011 Audi S4 to get the C2S. I've actually owned a couple S4's - but I couldn't imagine going back to one after the 911.
