This Offer For A Porsche 911 GT3 At $3,840 A Month For 20 Years Is Proof That Even Rich People Can Be Terrible At Math

And it’s not just regular, working-class people who have trouble with budgeting, I came across an exotic car lender with loan terms for wealthy buyers who are bad at math. - Tom McParland Read More
Best Porsche Taycan I’ve Ever Seen Just Lost $229 Per Day In Depreciation
Some intrepid Porsche fanatic spent much of 2023 working with a dealer to pick out their optimum spec of Taycan and waiting for it to be delivered. With nearly $60,000 in options, including paint-to-sample Racing Green and the $6,000 Burmester premium audio, this was a seriously expensive electric wagon. At the end of the day the buyer put down $193,710 when they took delivery of the car just after Christmas in 2023. After just 322 days of ownership, the buyer of this highly factory customized car has sold it on Bring A Trailer for a 38 percent loss. They only drove the damn thing 605 miles! That’s not even two full charges! - Bradley Brownell Read More

This white-over-grey machine, which Styling Garage dubbed a “Marbella” after the coastal city in Southern Spain, is the epitome of 1980s style excess. It goes without saying that I’m absolutely here for it. - Bradley Brownell Read More

At $29,800, Is This 2019 VW Golf Alltrack An Alright Bargain?
As swan songs go, today’s Nice Price or No Dice VW Golf is quite the sendoff. It offers a handsome wagon body, AWD, and a six-speed stick. Let’s see if it also offers a low enough price to make us rue having to say goodbye. - Rob Emslie Read More
At $9,995, Is This 1982 Porsche 928 A Grand Tourer That’s A Grand Deal?
Today’s Nice Price or No Dice 928 is claimed by its seller to have a “laser straight body.” That’s somewhat comical, considering there’s hardly a single straight line on Porsche’s bubble-butt coupe. Let’s see how straight the seller is being about the price. - Rob Emslie Read More
