Default How many miles on your 4.0?

I have 112 miles. I am guilty of not driving mine. It will be a barn find in 20 yrs lol. I should probably sell it because my 3.8 RS has become the drivers car and the 4.0 the museum piece.

Man, you need to drive it like you stole it.

What good is it doing you? Whats the point of having an 7.2RS and a 4.0; who do you are - Jay Leno? Kidding of course. Sad truth is if I had both cars it would be much the same.

Just dont sell that 4.0, please you will just be kicking yourself in the **** later on.

Its difficult to edit a post on the mobile version of this forum for there isn't an option!

everyday is a gift, luckier than most I know. You won't be able to take your 4.0 with you. A 4.0 was never intended to be a garage queen or an investment. DRIVE YOUR CAR.

What is the difference between - 1) owning a 4.0 but not driving it and, 2) not owning a 4.0?

The smile in the garage.

I get your point though. I am not one to let a car sit either.

I can look at it in my garage anytime I want.
I don't wish that I had one.
Having probably the greatest 911 ever made.
I get your point though.

Parked it in Feb with 7100 miles, now sold because I could not stand not driving it all the time.

We will see how much more the price changes on the.4.0 when Porsche releases the 991 GT3 RS with the same 4.0 motor in it. Of course I'm speaking out of my butt-hole, but a man can dream...

I forgot about this difference... 40 - 50% ROI.

That's a VERY good difference.

I haven't made 40%+ ROI since '09.

I miss that.
