    Having just bought a 911 towards the top of the hype, I fully expect to lose quite a bit of value over the next few years. I’ve accepted my fate.

          This!!! cars are. not assets, their products that are meant to be used!! it’s not a fuckin house where you might get a extra hundred grand when your mortgage is over and you decide to sell

      Just went through this. Bought a base CPO C2 991.2 last summer and traded it a week or so ago for a new 718 GTS. I lost a breathtaking amount of money in ~18 months.

      You’ve got the right attitude as well. Just enjoy the car, move on when you’re ready, live and learn.

      another way to look at it: if you could afford the car at the peak you can afford the financial hit of future depreciation. let’s be real – we’re all fortunate to be in the position to own these cars and 5-10k or whatever isn’t going to break most of us. life is short and you can’t win every time or time everything out perfectly. count your blessings.
