Too many posts.. I need a life!!
I think you should tell her to mind her own.
Its your car, your sacrifice, what is she giving up for you to go and pay more each month on another mortgage?

If he chose to sell it then fair enough, but it doesnt seem like there is a compramise here.

I tried the whole "It isnt worth anything like as much as I have put into it" thing, but she has had the last word this time.
Aboslutely gutted, but such is life.
In the meantime- your deepest sympathies please!

I agree with both sides!
Rach (wife) is the voice of simple reason.
But when has owning a cossie had anything to do with that! LOL
I dont hate her. As stated, it does involve me getting a 996, so sympathy only, not pity! LOL
Carl - You have PM mate

I agree, Mike - though to be fair given the car that I am thinking of buying, I think it becomes harder to justify.

I am looking at a 996 Turbo!

ROFOL - I had thought about selling the boat, but I figured that having no boat and living on the South Coast of Devon would be just unbearable!
Rich
I like the GT3, but to be honest most of the time it will spend on the road, and not the track. And I genuinely believe that as a road car, the Turbo is the quicker (where speed, more compliant suspension and 4x4 is more important over all)
That and the fact that the GT3 in reasonable condition and age is slightly more expensive.

JJ kids will fit in the back of the 996 easy, they come with built in baby seats lol. When they get to old to fit they will be able to ride a bike so problem solved.

What sort of money do the 996's go for then?
My minimum requirements were as follows;
1. Must have OPC Full Service History
2. Must be late 2001 minimum (pref 2002)
3. Must be 45k maximum miles
4. Must be Manual not Tip
5. Sat Nav desirable
6. Must have an OPC Warranty that may be renewed.
Based on the above, a budget of £45k seemed to be about right. You can get them for less if you compromise on one or more of the above, and you can pay a whole lot more!
There is a lot of deviation in peoples opinions of the value of their cars in this market, though the above seems to be right.
As far as the GT3s are concerned, to get the above, you need to be spending closer to 50k

I agree, so long as I dont have to immediately sell it for pissing kids, and end up with nothing more than a people carrier and misery!
At least I have showed willing, and posted the for sale ad though!

Dont resist on the GT2! I would soooo buy that one if I could afford it. It is absolutely my dream version of this car!
Mind you - save lots and lots of money for the brakes!

i was actually after a GT2 when i got the chance of the turbo...i knew the car and it was a propper thing so i bought it 
....cant justify the GT2 really as i only did 800 miles in my turbo in 9 months and it ended up annoying me taking up space in the workshop
as i said must resist
