lol, well absolute dollar amount matters too.
i just closed a deal at 36% (not cars), but the amount is only five figures (the principal amount). so really didn't make much

oh, on most low mile RS4.0 current price will produce ROI of 35-40% on aveage (note i said avearge). but in the lovely state of KALIFORNIA, i paid 9% on sales tax. so if you really calculated correctly, you just lost approx 10% on that return. we have no tax credit in cars. whenyo ubuy the next car, you pay tax on the ENTIRE amount, not the DIFFERENCE.

maybe i should move SF to a state with no tax.

Tacet-Conundrum

We continued to tag our car in Nevada for two years because Kalifornia wanted the sales tax we never paid on the Subaru we bought when we lived in Reno. It was silly the dmv wanted like $1700 for the plates and tags. We were like "screw that" and drove up to Reno for a night. And we got to eat Sushi too, I'm not passing that up when I go to Reno.

That was way before I had the skill and knowledge I do now, and of course incorporated to contract myself out.

Everybody speaks of ROI, but what is your Internal Rate of Return? Thats only if you look at your car purchase as an investment. Which a lot of us are looking at the 4.0 as. You would have thought that the 7.2RS was an investment too when it first came out.

Wish Porsche would yell us how limited their production runs would be like Ferrari does. At least they come out and say they're making 399 of a specific model.

Unlike the F40 where they said they were making a specific amount, forget how many, and they just kept on making them because of demand. Talking about an over priced car.

a US$200k+ dent to your bank account, hehe... Agreed, awesome car, too good not to enjoy...

Wow. There really are some low mileage ones out there. I thought I was doing pretty well at 2800 miles and counting. I only have time for weekend spirited early morning LA canyon runs. Quite satisfying! Personally, I don't see prices on these 4.0's goin down. Demand too high and ever diminishing supply for the last and best of the manual GT3's.
