Re: 996 Values going up, up, up

Over the weekend on one of the televised auctions [can't remember if it was Mecum or B/J] an '04 C4 cab went for a jaw dropping $57K It might have been $52K - the screen was small..... :) .. but definitely over 50. I missed the particulars of what might have generated that kind of bidding. Hallucino...

Re: 996 Values going up, up, up

I just sold my 2013 ML350 to Carvana for $2K more than the dealer offered in their "buy-back" program. The used car market is indeed crazy right now.

The 996 is staying put however.

New shoes for the 996 today. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S all seasons ala Tire Rack. IMG_3040.jpg Of course it rained. IMG_3047.jpg Robby with GoMobile was exceptional. Certified Tire Rack installer and he's definitely experienced with all things Porsche. It was nice having the install done here and the ...

Re: Insurance for the 996

Agreed. That was my impression as well. BUT...now I know. Sticking with Hagerty for another year.

Re: Insurance for the 996

I got a DETAILED quote from Leland after submitting a LOT of additional info. While the price went up a little, it was fair for a collector car policy.....however...they have some restrictions on driving the vehicle. No errands, side trips, just to - from car shows and events. Not sure how they woul...

Re: Insurance for the 996

Update if anyone is remotely curious. I realize that rates differ by state, but today's shopping yielded some numbers for comparison:

Existing policy with Hagerty: $677 for the coming renewal

Same coverages, except $2000 higher insured value, from Leland West: $367 with PCA discount.

:shock:

Re: Break Bleeders

With the size of your fleet, [and since you have a proper lift] it just might make sense to up the ante for a better bleeder set up and a compressor that's up to the task. I'd be inclined to avoid Harbor Freight when you upgrade. :) Practice the most on the vehicle that get's driven the least. :)

Fingers crossed. I think my grandkids might be the ones to actually profit off my 996 ;)

Re: Insurance for the 996

It seems like you're trying to avoid "big box" insurance co's but we recently did as the commercial says and switched from Allstate to Geico at a savings of about 45%. Allstate kept steadily increasing my premium with no tickets and no accidents and I'm 37. I have all 3 of my cars with th...

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

Those wheels are really Fuched up. 8-) Guys over on 914world.com thought the Fuchs looked a little strange on this car. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/porsche/914/2450003.html#&gid=1&pid=15 Notice anything odd in the pictures? Here’s one: E82F9ABA-93D7-4D26-A9AA-82AFA9A03864.png...
