I said GoodBye to my Z - III

Well, I also said goodbye to my Z late last night. The dealer was happy with it and so was I. I will miss it, especially the 'no car payment'

Default I said GoodBye to my Z - III

I will miss it, especially the 'no car payment' status.

I will still troll here. I am a car-fanatic and I am not saying goodbye to this forum yet.

Thank you all.

Cab, I'm glad you're sticking around! Car fanatics should always be welcome here. Did you replace the Z?

I replaced it with a glorified Volkswagen -- 997S

I decided against the Gayman!

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.

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?

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.
