I’ve been eyeing the Wrairh for a long time but prices during Covid went nuts and I knew they’d drop a lot from the high so I waited. This one was priced extremely well for the mileage and condition. The dealer raised the price by $7k within a few hours of it being posted but agreed to honor the original price if I bought it. I don’t think it would have lasted more than a few days at the price I paid, even the higher price was fair.
About a month ago I was in a parking lot during a major storm and a shopping cart flew into the side of the 992 and dented it right on the fender. Paintless dent repair guys couldn’t fix it, said it would need body work and repaint. So I just decided it made sense to move on and dealer gave me a pretty fair offer for my car. IMO the 992 is a great car but not at the $160-200k price point with so many other options out there at that level.
I wrote a comparison of the 991/992 here: https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1365...omparison.html |
Also drive a 991.2.
The Wraith is what Batman drives on his day off.
Different level.
Dollar for dollar I agree with you.
Fine automobile sir and still in the family.
