[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You frugal, drive a Corolla, not a car guy obviously. Why on earth do you want a $100k 911? There are tons of cars cooler than your Corolla that cost much less[/quote]

I actually love sports cars.  I had some financial goals I wanted to hit, which is why I went into hyper-frugal mode and bought the Corolla in 2018. However, prior to that, I had a Mercedes SLK230, which was surprisingly inexpensive purchased as a used car, despite being a Mercedes.

However, that line was eventually discontinued by Mercedes. The other sports car I liked was the Audi TT, but that was discontinued last year as well.  I know there are other sports cars out there, but I don’t like them. The only one still available that I like is the Porsche 911—the only problem is that it’s more expensive, not only than the Mercedes and the Audi but also than any car that I ever thought I would buy.[/quote]

Did you try a boxster or cayman or even gr86/brz[/quote]

Thanks for suggesting the Cayman!  Given that Porsches were previously out of my price range, I wasn't even aware of their full product line.  I never liked soft-tops so the Boxster was out, but it looks like I could get a newer-model Cayman for about $75K.  The question is whether I should get a Cayman or pay the extra $30K and get the 911.[/quote]

Best suggestion is to drive them to see what your needs and wants are. There are so many trims to both cars that can suit any budget and use case. What is your driving style? Do you need back seats? Do you want a mid engine platform? Are you ok with a turbo charged 4 cylinder? Do you plan on modifying the car? [/quote]
