I got old and lazy ---- didn't want to, and got tired of spending a lot of legs and arms power pointing the Z where I want it to go.

p.s.,

Let's hope this thread doesn't turn into another 'P vs. Z comparo' thread.

Good to know!!!!!

The only thing I hate about Porsche is the 'porsche financing dept.' Here is one of many humurous times last night:

Porsche: Sir, would you consider a clear bra?
Me: No thank you.
Porsche: Why? It does not make sense. You have a clear bra on your Z, but you don't want a bra on your 997?
Me: I do.
Porsche: Hmmm....we are puzzled!
Me: Well, you shouldn't be puzzled. Why would I pay you $1,200.00 when I can get it for $500.00.
Porsche: And where is that?
Me: At the place by the airfield. They do helicopters too.
Porsche: If we match it, would you consider it?
Me: Can I have VentureShield?
Porsche: Well, we could but no 'no-fault' warranty. 3M will do no-fault.
Me: I don't want 3M. It yellows.
Porsche: Well, I have it in my car and it does not yellow.
Me: Good for you. I have it on my other Porsche it is now yellow.

I decided against the Gayman!

It took me a second to get the joke. Very funny.

You stepped it up a notch or two I see. Good job. When I saw VW I thought this guy must have lost his job or something. I am glad this is not the case. What did Porsche figure the trade in value of your Z?

ImportConvert · 01-09-2011, 10:19 AM

It's all just hearsay until we get some evidence...

cab83_750 · 01-09-2011, 11:31 AM

I seriously considered the Gayman due to the mid-engine layout. A Napa Valley man bought the car I wanted. The "new" Cockster sold out for 2011.

Porsche did not buy my car; the Nissan dealer did. 26k miles, base, Stick, blk, Rays, aero package, needs tires frt/rear: $22,500. As a reference, Carmax offer was $21,000.

how does that work?
you took the car to the nissan dealer and asked them if they would buy it?
i always traded my cars to the dealers where I bought my new cars. this is probably not a good practice.
thanks.

Yes. I walked back to the Nissan dealer and told them, "I think I just bought a Porsche. Would you guys want to buy my car which is currently being serviced?" They paged the Manager. The Manager basically went to the service area, checked out my car and said, "Yes, I will buy your car but I must keep your Rays."

Now, as a reminder, Porsche said that they would end up going to Nissan anyways to get an appraisal.

I think it's all a conspiracy!!
