With my newfound patience in control, I probably would have looked more closely and often at BringATrailer.com. I basically ignored them as their prices were a little rich for my predicament; even more so when you consider shipping. However, their cars are normally well sorted and documented, so it might have been worth the expense.
A wise man once told me that one should buy the newest Porsche one can afford. I pretty much did that. Was my budget unrealistic? I don’t think so and I am still satisfied with my purchase. Should I have run away from a car with a salvage title? Again, I don’t think so, especially as the asking price of the vehicle reflected that. The big question is, “Given my experience to date, would I do it again?” My answer is “yes”, but not “YES!” Certainly, you should not be dissuaded from following in my footsteps, and it’s an easy way to get that entry level Porsche for your wife. . . .
