    A Porsche-specialist mechanic (who also races them) said that this is the range that should be paid for one in pristine condition, so if the car is in the condition it appears to be in (which is being confirmed by mentioned mechanic tomorrow ), then it should be correct.

    Preowned-Inventory Rockville Porsche-Audi Rockville MD

    That is the dealership it is at, and the car itself. As you can see, we got the price down by nearly $3,000, which leads me into the story of why we are able to get this car.

    So, originally they weren't even sure if we were going to be able to test driving it - the guy I mentioned in the first post (actually, a friend he asked to check for him) had only checked the car out just earlier this month I believe. The guy himself lives in Florida, and was going to trade in a Maserati (why is Maserati not in the dictionary?) for this Porsche (for reasons unknown). He crashed the Maserati, rear-ended someone just last week, and had only put down a deposit. So while he was busy dealing with his insurance company (which he might be doing for the next two months, serves him right killing a Maserati), we snuck in and get to perhaps have this little baby. Didn't feel like boring you guys with this story in the first post, lol.

    Mother of God. It looks awesome. Do want.

    If you get that car you're officially on my hate list No seriously, I hope you get it. The price isn't bad at all and it's such a great car!

    Also, don't worry about learning to drive manual. It's easy, I managed to drive my friend's Skyline GTS-t for a hour and only stalling it twice. It's RHD, making thing even more complicated. It was the first time I ever drove manual.

    Yeah, beige (?) doesn't really suit it.

    Not that I'm complaining though.

    BTW, the Subaru Legacy manual idea has been scrapped.

    The previous owner sold it already.

    Yeah, I personally would love a black interior too.

    But the fact that it is now sitting about 10 feet below me in the garage makes up for that

    The 3rd party mechanic said it was one of the best-preserved specimens he has yet seen, and yeah, it is pretty gorgeous.

    It may indeed, but do you think I would do such a thing to my brand new girl? I'd call her my sister but then it'd be awkward to say I am riding my sister.......yeah, just somewhat.

    Avoiding the sound of that is why I am not calling the car my sister
