After much debate and having already put in a deposit for a 2009 GTR at 6k over msrp. I flew to LA and bought my car and drove back home.

Had to thank:
1. the wife for nagging about my stupid decision to buy an $80k nissan
2. driving in my hyundai rental that was suppose to last me till my GTR arrives in July.
3. saw a 997 tt and then a 997 GT3 on the way home from work.

Suddenly it was clear to me that I am a porsche fan LOL
this will be my 3rd 911 and my 2nd turbo.

Glad I was set straight in time!

congrats and sweet purchase Ted
yes I'm glad that you were set straight

 

congrats man!

 

 

Congrats and welcome to the madhouse! The wait while driving a Hyundai would've drove me batty.

 

Congratulations!

 

Gorgeous, well done man, I am happy for you!

 

thanks! yes i didnt know what came over me for the 1 month i was converted to the GTR. must be too many 997 tt and GTR comparisons. i am sure the gtr is a good bang for the buck, but the 997 tt is an icon.

 

I swore i had headaches driving it. went to the doc and she said I was "stressed out"

also I got a good deal on this 997 lease imo

dealer asking 129k
bought for $113.9k
car has 5500 miles.
they gave me a 60 month residual of $53k which is high considering 15k miles a year

 

made you an avatar as a congrats on the new car present !
