In prep for the arrival of my 2020 BB CTR, made arrangements to have PPF installed with my trusted guy. In his shop was a pristine Carrera GT. My jaw dropped.
The owner was so gracious to allow pics to be taken plus let me sit n start the beast. What a rare thrill for these old bones. This made my day!!!

Awesome! The Carrera GT was my favorite car as a kid. I always picked it when playing NFS Hot Pursuit 2 on the PS2.

ANOTHER EURO MARQUE JOINS THE FAMily Clan for son #2!!!

#4 son (NYC) got his '10 997.2 GT3 3 years ago and recently sent him my '12 Audi R8 V8.

#3 son (SF) got his '06 E46 M3 in 2010 and still going strong

#2 son in LA sold his '14 Cayman S 2 months ago as his ordered a Cayman GT4 was arriving. Upon delivery 2 weeks ago, being meticulous like me, there was a noticeable interior defect which the dealer was having issues replacing under warranty. I advised him to get back his deposit and walk. Since then we have been conversing constantly, and I finally convinced him to step up and try something different.
With my retirement package coming around the corner, and helping him to start on this new quest, it became financially viable.
He found a private seller on Rennlist last week, made the offer on Friday which was accepted yesterday. The third party inspection was done by a Porsche specialist well-known in the Bay area. Costing $650, it's pricy but absolutely detailed mechanically, plus pics of everything and oil analysis. Was done today and passed with Flying colors.
He's driving to SF this weekend to pickup.
A 2018 Porsche GT3!
This son tracks so PCCB and Chrono pkg. were desirable and so was the larger 90 li. gas tank and front axle lift. Full body PPF was a bonus. With less than 6k on the odo everything, in, out and even underneath was spotless.
Fair to say he paid a tiny bit more than dealer wholesale but way less than retail values.
He is now one excited boy.

The incoming Beast!!!

The kid's new beast finally home in LA from SF, after the drive back yesterday. Looking spotless after a morning clean-up. As predicted, he continues to enjoy learning the drive!!!

Had a S124 MB wagon back on the islands in '86 and have always missed its unique appearance and versatility. The original luxury SUV.
Couldn't pass this pristine cherry I've been following. '13 E350 4-matic w/ 35k miles, one owner. Had to experience one more while I still can. LOL!
Made an offer which the seller accepted last Tuesday n delivered yesterday. Fair to say, it costed me like buying a new base 4wd HRV!
Came with all the options available excluding the Designo interior.
Premium pkg. 2, Sport pkg., Driver's Aassistance pkg.
