Depending upon the true level of wealth/liquidity (liquidity is key here....seen plenty of very rich folks with no liquidity) and passion ultimately dictate decisions according to ones financial position at that time. Some are more open about it than others during the deal, some like to uphold a position of wealth when in true essence they don't quite have all the coin they'd like to have you believe (or liquidity) to put into (or finance) the purchase and (can) become less upfront about that accordingly. It becomes more of a dignity issue for some depending upon each individual.

Elaborating individual stories would only ruffle feathers here manifold. Wouldn't be right. But it's suffice to say that at dealer level I can personally assure you the truth becomes very obvious during the course of any transaction, regardless of any put ups and excuses. Body language always speaks louder than words,....needless to say words do a good enough job on their own. I guess thats the entertaining part with certain individuals.....the struggling to come to terms with the truth of ones real financial situation amidst the wanting of what they truly desire. The satisfying thing is knowing that eitherway the client will always leave with a smile on the face after crunch time has come. As said earlier, I have become somewhat cynical over time, "punch drunk" if you will, from the agonising and excuses that can come up during these types of purchases. Don't mean to offend....just being honest calling it exactly the way it is in the greater majority of these cases. It comes as part of the territory in dealing with such an emotional product. Everyone wants to, likes to, and be seen as richy rich but often when push comes to shove screens do fly up and the excuses do come out.

Now ain't it time we got back on topic? Hey! That new GT3 is gonna be one hellova car. I WANT one! BUTTT....will i have enough money at the time to get the car with everything in it my heart desires?????

Re body language, micro expressions and subtext... I agree 100%
The problem is some individuals we get to deal with in cases like this (even here on 6 -flame suit on-) are really, really good at deception while others have actually started to believe their own BS... to such a degree that it is difficult to detect even with the aforementioned...
To that end, when all else fails you just have to trust your intuition and use commonsense (another underrated tool).

And on that note... here's some more shots I came across (while trying to get info on the 991 C4S... to no avail).

Cheers!

Just fuocking with you Bro:-)

Btw I suspected you were kidding but with respect asked why you did not buy 997GT3.2, which i thought was a fair and reasonable question to ask.

Usually when i'm asked a question I give a straight answer. So, not sure why the need for the clowning around here, or have I struck a nerve with you somewhere? Fwiw, If i have, I didnt mean to.

Anyway, so, am I now to assume by your reply to hroussard that it is money that is keeping you in whatever you own at the moment (still not clear what your current car is).....whatever that is?

Money is not holding me back. Although, there are better places to put said money. Of course, we wouldn't be here if we didn't have this Porsche addiction. The only thing holding me back from trading my current ride ~a .2 gt3~ is a 991 gt3.
