Re: This is "blazon's" car...residuals and our Picasso

Just curious to see how many people have them, and how many are upgraders from previous P-cars.

I just went from my 2006 987, which I absolutely loved for every one of its 67,000 miles.



To my 2014 981S which is driving me crazy because I just don't have enough time to drive it as much as I want.

... (the one on top) which I was able to check out a few weeks ago when he visited PedrosGarage.
Blazon also had a previous Boxster.

and this is blazon...

south east Ohio, Appalachian roads, bliss...

traded in '00 Base Tip

27 month lease...no way could we afford to buy one..

15K down, $520 a month...

77K list, 7% discount...S, PDK, SC...

53K residual(academic)...the deal you do once in your life when you calculate at its completion if you're still breathing you will no longer be capable of driving it quickly...DOB 4/39

thank you again, Pedro, for taking care of our baby...

Just as a matter of interest, the residual value tends to be lower than the actual value of the car in Porsche's case. I bought my Boxster from a fellow who had it on lease and sold it to me as the lease came due. I'm sure he made money on the deal, and it was a good deal for me as well. The loser was the Porsche dealer who would have turned it around and sold it for a much higher price as a CPO.

steve...

your point is well made and taken...thank you

even over a short term lease such as ours you can never project the circumstances/options/feelings that will exist at its close...you simply plan for what is most likely...

while all that is developing the car itself remains an unqualified delight...I feel we have a Picasso with four wheels..an F 18 your wife can drive at her own pace in and be relaxed and confident doing it...

it must surely be as safe as a very fast car can be...that is the sensation it transmits...sheer indulgence...

cheers.
