Should I sell my e92 for a porsche turbo?

MM Performance · 10-26-2009, 06:58 PM

Looks like i have the option of buying a 2001 porsche 911 turbo 996 with 45k mi for basically the same $ i could sell my 2008 e92 with 30k mi, even money pretty much! Now the question is, should I do it? What do you guys think?

I wouldnt, but I bet most are gonna say that you should. Hope there is a warranty.

bavarian19 · 10-26-2009, 07:07 PM

45k is even money with 30k?

You need to take more math classes.

What's wrong with the Porsche? I would think the Porsche would be around 10k more, at least.

Those numbers are for miles, not money. You need to take more reading classes. jk

+1 you beat me to it

JayKay335i · 10-26-2009, 07:14 PM

Porsche is a true sports car. BMW makes a great daily driver. If you have another car, go for it.

Also, whats wrong with the porsche? Should be worth 45-50K. Those turbos dont really lose much value.

MM Performance · 10-26-2009, 07:15 PM

+1 on reading classes, lol

cotmfk · 10-26-2009, 07:15 PM

Can you afford the maintenance? If so... do it.

Do you have another car to drive to keep some miles off the Porsche? If so... do it.

If not, don't.

thatsosm · 10-26-2009, 07:15 PM

I do believe 0-60 is in the 3's on the 911 turbos.

Depends upon your priorities....hmmmm.....let's see......seven years difference between the two with the Porsche being older......more fun factor in the Porsche, performance-wise....fewer miles over a longer time span in the Porsche, or roughly 6,400 miles per year for the Porsche vice 30,000 miles for the e92....daily driver Porsche? You will then have 75,000 miles by next year for a vehicle that is out of warranty...kids or no kids?.....

If I were single and had another car for my daily driver....Porsche

I wouldn't...

Search the pcar forums to see what you need to check, if it checks ok do the swap

Porschefile · 10-26-2009, 07:31 PM

As long as you have another DD, Yes!

Ender514 · 10-26-2009, 07:42 PM

I hate the 996.

JaysBlueE92 · 10-26-2009, 07:53 PM

as long as their is nothing wrong with it, i'd do it. Porsche is a cool community too, and quite the ownership experience. But as others have mentioned, maintenance can be a kick to the nuts

BKV122 · 10-26-2009, 08:01 PM

If the Porsche is gunna be your DD then no. If not then go for it!
