The Porsche 911 has (supposedly) the highest resale value of any car and few are leased. This suggests to me that there wouldn't be too many screaming deals on used 997s.
 
Where'd you hear that? The 911 isn't even in ALG's top deprecation category, let alone "highest of any car". CR says the Prius is #1 right now.

Male/female 1 series drivers? Who cares! But, let me ask you this: doesn't a dropped top look better on a female driver?
 
Umm, yeah. That's what I meant. The dropped top of the 1 'vert... Yeah, the car.

Unless it's priced like a Civic coupe (and even then) who buys that over a 1, 3 or A5???
 
Or the G37. Heck, even the CTS coupe. All they did was graft the new nose onto the old C-class. The interior is the same as it was eight years ago. Who do they think they can fool with that?

That this '08 XK Coupe w/6266 miles and an asking price of $60k is a better deal than an '05 XLR with a loose fender at $35k?
 

 
Emerald Fire: anyone familiar with the color? Looks dark-ish...

I'm saying a good deal on an XK is smarter than almost any deal on an XLR. Yes.
 
BTW, those cars are amazing. Thanks for posting them.

BIG,
Yes, indeed, this is actually a good time to sell my Porsche. If I want another one in the future, I will get one, but I have changed my priorities and market conditions point to selling it now, particularly before the '09 becomes readily available, and certainly before the market for used Porsches softens too much. And, it will soften. Thank goodness that mine is a 997, a strong reseller.
 
Low miles, and originally configured by Porsche especially for the SF auto show... it should sell easily, but I'm going to hold out for a decent price. The car is too perfect to let go too cheaply, and I'm not in an urgent situation that requires me to sell too quickly. I'll make a fair deal with someone. Whoever gets it will get a gem.
 
I'm not suggesting that the 135i is in the same league as the Porsche. I am suggesting, however, that for a lot less money, a damned lot of fun can be had in the 135i convertible... Almost as much as the 911. So... I feel fine saying goodbye to the 911. I'll use all that money on something else, like a car for my wife and/or a car for my daughter next year. And Ther's going to be that future hybrid I intend to drive.
 
I fully intend to not buy a gas hog ever again, and I look forward to driving a fuel-sipping hybrid from Honda... or even Toyota, if it doesn't look as horrible as the current Prius.

I apologize, Lou, cause I have absolutely no idea what you are posting about. I just don't get your point.
 
Must be too much sun and beer earlier today.
