I bought first Porsche @ 21.
I plan on having a 964 in a few years.
Im 29 and ive never owned a car.
I live in the suburbs and always within a few minutes walk of a train-station and I've always worked in the CBD.
I have a home-gym as well and I don't really go out much so yeah, all good.
>>71910377
>porsche
>6k
The 944 sucks m8
>>71910453
I bought the cleanest 928 I could afford.
They're already past the bottom of their depreciation curve and have nowhere to go but up.
They're starting to get more interest as good ones become rare and the air cooled 911s are priced through the stratosphere.
The 911 is overpriced no matter the year now, especially in Australia. I would like to have one just to see what it's like, but then again I want a V12 XJ-S coupe as well.
>>71910453
That's why you go for second hand expensive car, 5 to 10 years old model. It cannot lose more than 1/3 of what you payed no matter how long you keep it. If you buy anything else is like throwing your money to the toilet

Second hand classics can increase in value. But that's not the point of the topic which is "muh Porsche".
With that said, you also have to factor in refurbishment and maintenance costs when you calculate your profit margins. With that said, that way of making moneu still pales in comparison to other forms of investment. Such as paying a downpayment on prime land, subdividing it, build multiple houses and sell each house for more than the price of the land (making a sick profit margin)

>>71911394
It's never wise to classify cars as an investment, you very rarely gonna get a good amount of money.
What cars can actualy do for you, is being buisiness enabler. They are wealth -> success indicators on an subliminal level.
Let's say that you have to close a buisiness deal with two identical men, let's say twins on appearence and personality, but one drives a mommy-van and the other drives a porsche. It's a no-brainer that you would be predisposed to seal the deal with the porsche guy, rather than the mommy-van guy.
That's what expensive can actualy do. They are purely status symbols, not means of getting money out of them. And on the plus side, if you actualy like driving, they're a kicker.

You'd have to put 40k into an s2000 for it to even be comparable to any Porsche.
I mean if you just want to cruise around really slow with your top down I guess the s2000 is a good choice

Yea, because trailer park niggers can afford a ~70,000$ car in their mid 20s on the money they make from working in an office.

Tell that to pretty much all western societies, who run their entire country on debt they cant pay back, and go and do things they cant afford, and have markets like the one in Canada where a 100,000$ house goes for 2.5 million because its in BC.
People buy shit they cant afford all the time, if they didnt, our market values would be much much lower. That type of thinking is obsolete when people are enabled to buy things they cant afford at a moments notice.

That's because it's the convertible. The porsche engineers hate the convertible because it's heavier and slower.
Because people are jealous faggots who wish they could drive such a nice car. Harsh words but it is true. I have worked hard for years to earn the privilege to drive a nice Volvo S80. I always get told they are piles of shit, that I will hate it, it sucks too much fuel, it is too expensive, and that I will love a pleb-tier Toyota Camry.
It is the crab in bucket mentality. People don't want to see you doing better than them. If you are they naturally get very envious and will try to drag you down.
TL;DR
Enjoy your money, expensive cars, and other shit if you have it.

Sometimes but a lot of the time it's just inability to understand or know the other persons motivations and requirements for a car.

For whatever reason European coupes just go for retarded amounts of money here in Australia. I just had a look at used 996s and even the shitters are $30,000.
The big sedans from that era aren't worth anything though, for instance the 750i and the S600 are well under $10,000.
desu a true capitalist doesn't waste his money on stupid shit, porsche is 90% marketing, presentation etc wrapped on a mediocre body.
You'd be making your money go as far as possible, for the price of a porsche you could probably get something slapped together out of good, sturdy parts to your specs.
This is like the prebuild vs custom build computer argument.
Retards get taken advantage of and capitalism needs you but it isn't about you.

you say that, but from what i've seen the minute a man buys a porsche (boxster aside), he starts driving like fucking grandma. all of a sudden you have a six-figure insurance liability, not a fun or useful car.
from minivans to roadsters, 99% of people do not use the power they have as a matter of course. i beat all kinds of really nice cars off the line in my shitty old saab, in my 3.5L altima, and have always done so in all my older now-defunct cars.
seems to me the first thing a new porsche owner learns is that the women can't check your hairline for plugs if you buy heavy tint or drive too fast.

Yeah, but the same could be said of the European sedans of the same era, many of which were more expensive when new.
For example, an E32 750i V12 was like $200,000 when new here. There is a clean one on gumtree for $4500 ONO.
The 8 Series coupe with the same V12 engine on the other hand is three or four times that price.

Trick with those is to get a model where they still have rear wheel drive. They changed to front at some point and that makes them shit.

944 Turbo's are decent.
It's all about maturity and financial responsibility. Only after you reach the point of maturity and net worth and income that you can easily afford to have "nice cars".
SMART women can sniff-out a wanna be poser that thinks they are the coolest thing in their fancy little porsche that they cannot really afford. No girl wants to live in a trailer park and work at Waffle House and he works the parts counter at autozone for $12.75 an hour. It speaks highly of the idiot nature of the man and rules him out as a worthy candidate for a relationship. He has an expensive toy that he dumps money into and can barely support himself. No worthy girl is gonna waste her time with a guy that is on the road to loserville.
Guess what, anon in that porsche or whatever is always gonna be broke. It may be your pride and joy but it is going to send anon to the poorhouse or the repo guy is gonna retrieve it and then you'll see anon taking the bus again.
Don't be that moron that dumps money into his car when he has nothing: low income, no established career, has no house, little or no savings, no investments/401k, no health insurance, his net worth is negative as he lives paycheck to paycheck. Yay for anon in the car that he can't afford. Grow the fuck up. Owning a nice car is fine if you have the means (income/net worth/career/family priorities....house/kids college/everything else like reserves to cover 8 months living expenses if either spouse becomes unemployed)
Often, the car you want is often not within the budget of said idiot anon, yet he will buy it anyway even if he is broke and lives in his mom's basement. Putting your car as priority when a guy can least afford it shows bad judgement, immaturity, and self-centered stupidity.

US passed laws that were pretty much designed to fuck over foreign car makers decades ago, where they needed to pass a bumper test in a 5mph collision, with the ability to take no damage.
See:>>71914668
that was by a company called Bricklin who went under, they didnt want to break up the front end to make that bumper, they wanted a smooth front end like a corvette or something.

What's the problem here? That's one of the many reasons you buy a expensive car in the first place.

5 mile an hour bumper law, ruined the design of many foreign cars and limited the space they could work in, made a lot of cars ugly.

Modern Lamborghini's are shit, terrible performance and they look like a fucking hot wheels car. Smooth body work is better than sharp eddddgggy cars.

I had a car when I lived in the burbs. When I moved out, I left it to my sister to use. I have no need for a car in my city, it would be a nice, but expensive luxury.
I spend the extra money to live in a nice area of the city with a shorter commute. Meanwhile, friends pay for gas, insurance, repairs, and sticker fees, then spend an extra 30 mins a day in mind numbing traffic
