What was I thinking buying a Brit car & expecting stable resale value...
Yeah. Not good. On the flip side of that, I'm so glad I didn't buy one. And I came close more than once. Dealership in Dallas has quite a few sitting in a warehouse with no homes.

^^The good news is now you can get one of these amazing machines at a fraction of the cost when new. I've seen quite a few nicely under 200k with 500 miles or less. Good buy inmo.

If the P13 ends up looking good I think they are going to sell a TON of them. Vantage people want something new. If they don't all get swept up by the F-type I think a lot of people will scoop these up. I also think a lot of 911 people will "try something new." Could be good stuff.




I still want a 911 haha.

If this truly is top-spec 911 money, meaning $150,000-200,000, that will be amazing. I can't wait to see tons of these flooding the streets of SoCal.

As a huge Porsche fan, if priced right I imagine this car would be very difficult to turn down.

I would be one of those that bought new at MSRP, and you only lose when you sell. Even though I could have gotten a better deal later, not one regret buying one.

Prices have bumped up a bit in the past couple of months, since the 2012 inventory has been sold.

I always find it odd that people are more concerned about resale values instead of looking at the car's attributes. The 12C is much more capable car than other cars in its price range. McLaren didn't do a great job marketing it and initial teething issues didn't help BUT that doesn't mean that the car isn't great. In fact it is amazing.

I can't think of any non limited production car that is going up in value right now.
