Hard to tell. Really depends on what Porsche does. If they release a manual transmission on their high end 911s (GT3, GT3RS, etc.) as some have speculated, you'll see a lot of owners offload their 997 and the price will most likely come down. In addition, the 992 is on the horizon which means the 997 will be two generations behind.Do you guys see the prices of Turbo 997s PDK dropping at all with the new 911s all being Turbo?
Im sure they'll drop, but I don't think too far. Older Porsches seem to always go for more in the long run. New P's are going turbo, but theres word the 992 might be a hybrid.Do you guys see the prices of Turbo 997s PDK dropping at all with the new 911s all being Turbo?

Most likely, you'll see the 997 come down a bit in price, remain stable and then most likely go back up over time.

I'm in the exact same boat as you brother. I was actually looking at the E92 M3s a while back and keeping conversations with Nelson about his experience. Then I went to a Porsche driving experience and that changed everything.Thanks! I am fairly new to the Porsche realm. But after riding in a few, I am sold on this being my first true sports car. It's just so hard picking which 911 is perfect for me, since there are so many different combos.
Edit: it was supposed to be the M3. I think I even PM's Nelson about his when he had it for sale. But things came up that I couldn't financially commit. If I didn't live in the Bay Area, I think I could of gotten one long time ago
Looks so damn clean.

Was close to selling the c63 and getting a granturismo...but seeing that makes me seriously want to weigh all my options again. What year is that 911?
So, as you all might remember, a while back I posted about how difficult it was to find tires in the proper staggered size for my 22's that also need to be refinished, and that I was considering going back to the stock 20s since I had more tire options. I managed to find some Nitto's that would work, but since then the black coating on my wheels has been chipping off like crazy, and the 22's are looking TERRIBLE. Stopped by the local powder coater, and he basically told me he didn't want anything to do with working on my wheels, looks like they were originally chrome, and whoever painted them didn't properly paint them, so I'd have to strip off both the paint AND the chrome in order to get them properly powder coated, which would be a crazy amount of money to do :x . So, powdercoating these is out for the moment.
So, I'm left with either trying to get these 22's painted by a body shop, buying a set of chrome 22's locally that have new tires, or buying a pair of freshly powdercoated black 20's and getting tires for them. After looking more closely at my stock 20's, the chrome is pitting in some areas, so right now I'm stuck with 2 pairs of messed up wheels that both need tires, what a mess
Anyways, enough with the rambling, here's my question. Has anyone had a bodyshop paint a set of wheels, and if so, how did they hold up, especially during winter? I just want a clean set of wheels for my truck without spending a ridiculous amount of money, riding around on thrashed wheels is killing me inside

G Wagon? They're an overrated overpriced fashion trend for rich guys wives. Much better SUVs out there for less $$Anyone own or driven a G55? How bad are they? Looking at an '11 with 40,000 miles as a second car.

Most of the appeal is the fact that I can pay $55k or $60k today and get most of that back when it comes time to sell in a year or two. Not interested in leasing or financing, unless I can get a killer deal on an X5M, and even then I'm not so sure I would want to deal with the payment.
