The previous owner of my 911 turbo text me, asking if I still have her and would I sell her back? Caught me right off guard and surprised me. I've sent a message back saying I had never ever thought about selling and even if I did, I don't know how much I'd want?

It's been a hell of a week at work and next week isn't going to be any better when all my friends who didn't drive to Monaco for the F1 drive down to Le Mans for a week and I'm last at home because I'm busy at work, so I was seriously considering it. Why have such a good car that I'm not getting the time to enjoy any more?

Having slept on it however, I think the car is a keeper so there will be no sale. I think the car is for the times I can enjoy it and makes weeks like I've just had worth while when I do have time to drive it. I do fancy beating my top speed of 180 mph I've already done in it. It did stop me in my tracks and make me think for a while though. There is no way I could get a car I would enjoy driving as much as I do, for the money I'd get.

Anyone think I should have cashed in my chips and bought a cheap Boxster for fun? What would you have done if you could have had free supercar motoring for 2 and a half years? Remembering there is no right or wrong answer, it's all opinion.

Imagine a day where you've got the opportunity to drive the car, but you've sold it. How would you feel? In fact, that must be what the previous owner is feeling now.

I had a similar quandry recently. I intended to buy a Cayman S, but it would have meant selling my 944, but when it came down to it, I just plain didn't want to, despite a good offer from someone.

At least you don't have to sell, but have the luxury of a ready made buyer. Means you can take your time to decide.

Cheers,

Circumstances can change but if you don't need the loot and it makes you smile, good decision

My view FWIW :-
He's obviously missing it and wishing he hadn't sold it. Lots on here have; me included - I was lucky in buying it back literally within a couple of hours
Damn pleased I did, wouldn't be without it now, its also "a keeper" even if I don't get to drive it as much as I like it's there ready in the garage for when I do have the opportunity (and preferably a fine day )
I recon you would certainly miss it if it went.

Wish I hadn't sold my 944S, still see it at shows around the Midlands, and its winning prizes !

That's because it looks so much better than under your ownership Lindsay <g>!
