Hinkle,

I'll be in Knox in the next month, I'm pretty sure. PM me your phone number and we'll meet out on the strip or something.

Cool?

Jared

 

Would I be getting it? No. They have it. Say it is sold. And it sits there for a month. Right now, Deal has my 997S AND my 4.2Q7 Audi

 

Would I be getting? No. Would I be wanting to get, yeah. They have had it "Sold" for at least a month, and it's just sitting there. Where is this guy? I have both my 911 and my Audi Q7 SUV there while I am in Amsterdam getting service done and I see it all the time.

I'd love to meet up with you sometime. PM me.

Later.

 

simple...dont sell then! u put a lot fo work into it and it doesnt pay off to sell it in the end without parting out.

 

I hope its worth a lot! I've had this discussion with myself a bunch of times, usually while lusting for something new. Realizing what I'd expect to get in a resale and my sunk cost to this point has helped me dicide to keep it. What really made the difference was tracking the car and realizing how f.....ing fast it is. I'm going to do a few more performance focused mods over the next several months (chasis, LSD, clutch & flywheel) as well as some cosmetic and interior stuff and continue to enjoy it. It is still a much more capable car than its driver!

 

Hey! Welcome to the club I just sold (gave away) my Dinan S3R M3 for $33,500. Original price was $62,500 plus tax and license. Added about $40,000 worth of parts and labor. Enjoyed it as it was/is one hell of a car, but never considered it an investment. The lesson I will try and take with me to the Turbo is not to pour mod/mad money into it. Like you said WOW!!

 

Hmmm everytime I try and PM you, it logs me out of my account for some reason...Maybe because of my low post count. Try PM'ing me and I'll give you my e-mail. It would definitly be great to meet up for coffee or something. Take Care...

Stating the obvious. Its always worth less than you want or what you think its worth and not enough to cover a RS

 

man dont sell your car its awsome if i didnt have mine id buy yours..........by the way what a coincidence my 997 is blacked out too and my suv is audi q7

 

Let the parting out begin! <scavenger mode on>

 

It's funny how things work .
With a new car, we spend a fortune tearing out the factory equipment to "improve" it , and as the car gets older, we spend a fortune trying to restore it back to "original" condition. Lol

 

This is exactly what I'm talking about too. Tracking the car gets me giddy. It's amazing. Now I just need to do some focused things. I'm running well with the GT3s, with them being better drivers than me. I just kill them on the straights. They're all like, 'huh?'

Anyway, I'm thinking of going with the cage and stuff. What LSD and clutch are you thinking? I need a clutch bad. I just replaced my engine mounts too.

 

Jared:

I think your car is worth about $150k. Of course I may be biased . . .

Talk to Fabryce at GMG. Their roll bar I had powder coated seal grey and they have a spring loaded Sachs clutch and lightened flywheel kit and a very reasonably priced LSD. My car is at Imagine for the full GT3 chasis treatment with parts and specs from GMG.

 

Hey,

I know exactly how you feel...I had my S4 more modified than I'd ever expect it to be..>I had it that way since probably the 3 month I had it, completely finished. I loved it and felt extremely proud and differenent(unique) when I was driving it. It soon came where I started seing more of my car running around or at least the A4's and got a little bored with it..To anyone else the car is a gem, but to me I am bored with it..I was going to supercharge it and do the brakes, etc..etc..But then I got to thinking what else do I like..I found the 997 and found another animal that I want to hook up..
I guess where I am going is that once you are bored, you are bored. To everyone else you might have a ferrari but a car is a car and if you drive it everyday, well you get tired of it..Compare to life and a girlfriend..If you are not getting married to it, and its been long enough--you might as well move on to bigger and better or at least new to find out what the grass is doing on the other side of the fence...You know if you really want you could go back you can

I think I always have to feel like I do now, excited about the future plans of what I am going to do to it and or what its going to be like when I am done with the car. Once that feeling is gone or not as strong I move on...

Keep drinking right!
