Having had a S3, A5, BM M135 over the last 5 years, I decided in May 15 that I wanted to scratch the Porsche itch.
So I purchased a 2009 Porsche 911 C4S from a Main Dealer. She is superb and still is an occasion every time you go out in her. And that's the problem ... She gets very little use with a young family, work and simly not wanting to leave her anywhere. So last year I completed 1400 miles and 600 miles since May this year, doing many more miles in a 12 plate Corsa and my wife's car.
So with an aim to go back to one car, I'm looking to sell the 911 and purchase a new RS3 Saloon. This should give me the great every day car I'm looking for and also something that will match the Porsche performance. The great news is that in 2.5 years I will have only lost £3k on the 911 based on a main dealer bid, but I'm sure I could get more if I tried privately. The bad news is that these cars are hard to track down and some of the Audi dealers are so far up their do dahs it is unbelievable !
Do people think I'm mind in changing out ? Many of friends think so, but the way I look at it, is I can get out having lost minimal cash, I'm getting a more useable car, plus at 8 year old the 911 could start to cost !
