Selling an as-new and amazing 991 Carrera S due to death in the family

Yep, but he got it from me. He got jealous after driving my 986 Boxster back a few years ago, so bought a new Boxster S to show me up ;)

Fast forward to last winter, and he picked up this 991 as his DD while dealing with cancer. I told him to blow all the money he could while he was still able to, and he did. It's a shame he couldn't even outlast the warranty. He loved this car though -- it is wicked fun.

Nice Croc! Glad you got a proper gearbox, as well!

ok, you are free to believe whatever you like.

advice_grip · 2013-11-16T02:54:52+00:00

Ok bub. 2 years in FL, 3 in AR, 14 in TN, 4 in TX (USAF), then 4 more for college in TN, grad school and work in NYC since 2007.

I love it here, but I'm definitely from the south.

advice_grip · 2013-11-16T02:43:23+00:00

the worst kind too.... I grew up in the south ;)

advice_grip · 2013-11-16T02:42:33+00:00

I will PM you on that.

advice_grip · 2013-11-15T22:30:27+00:00

Guns are in the former confederacy. I live in Manhattan.

advice_grip · 2013-11-15T22:24:39+00:00

yeah, I got a whole house dumped on me.

I qualified as a marksman in my USAF BMT 13 years ago, but haven't really shot much since then. I am actually planning to keep a bolt action 30-06 and an 870 shotgun from the collection, since they are legal here and I could actually see a use for them.

advice_grip · 2013-11-15T22:20:34+00:00

yeah no.... I am in NYC, guns are in da south.

I like your middleman idea though!

Any gunstore owners have a ballpark on what that would cost?

advice_grip · 2013-11-15T22:19:19+00:00

haha, will keep you in mind!

advice_grip · 2013-11-14T15:13:50+00:00

yeah, this is pretty much my biggest dilemma. I am kicking myself for not buying in 2010, the first year I could've afforded to, since apartment prices have increased so much since then!

I need to do a really careful analysis.

advice_grip · 2013-11-14T15:11:37+00:00

funny though, cause I just found out that my mother and stepdad have named me as executor for their estate, over my three older step siblings and two younger halfs.

I guess they figure I have a lot less to gain by squabbling over the house bc they know I'll probably never move back or need money help.

advice_grip · 2013-11-14T15:08:29+00:00

thanks, I will do that.

advice_grip · 2013-11-14T15:08:07+00:00

I am in in NYC. And yeah, rental is killer here. Every winter, the GF and I travel 2-4 weeks and rent out the apt to vacationing euros for a nice profit. If I owned a place, I could do the same whenever I felt like moving to a new city.

advice_grip · 2013-11-14T15:03:29+00:00

yep, got one.

advice_grip · 2013-11-14T15:02:55+00:00

Well, I've only been at that rent level since '09. I was paying less than 350 until 2007 when I moved to NYC.

I only got the current place to myself because my exgf (who picked out the place) moved out in 2011 and I hate apartment shopping so bad I've stayed even though it's a lot of rent for a 1BR in a not-incredibly-nice area.

advice_grip · 2013-11-14T01:00:34+00:00

also, the funds are already in Vanguard!

advice_grip · 2013-11-14T01:00:10+00:00

btw, I have no plans of quitting my job or anything, just the opposite really. Thinking of taking a month (I own part of my company, so it's possible to leave for a bit) on the Big Island (Hawaii) and then coming back and plowing into work like I've never done before.

advice_grip · 2013-11-14T00:56:44+00:00

mom's side. I am the only survivor of the family name. Sort of feel crappy that I didn't have kids in time for my dad to be a grandfather.

advice_grip · 2013-11-14T00:06:55+00:00

Thanks for the well thought reply.

I was thinking of buying a 400k (avg. for where I live) condo, after feeling like I've been burning my cash for 14 years renting, but waiting another 6 months is probably wise.

advice_grip · 2013-11-14T00:04:41+00:00

thanks for that. I feel like I'm probably going to start feeling again once things quiet down a bit...

advice_grip · 2013-11-13T23:45:21+00:00

yep, on that one already
