Yes, sorry to hear it's got to go Dave....you'll be a big loss to the 964 community [&o]
My 964 is for sale on [link=http://http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2316473.htm]PistonHeads[/link] While I am prepared to consider offers, they need to be sensible. Why for sale? Ten months on from redundancy and I am still unemployed. The upkeep of a classic car is simply impossible without a regular income. Very sad sale and not from choice I'm afraid. I neither intended nor expected to still be out of work by now, but there simply aren't any jobs out there....or at least, suitable jobs paying a salary to keep both a roof over my head and a 911.
I sympathise with you Amanda, having been in the same position as you. Several times over the 14 months I was out of work I considered selling my car but ultimately I was able to hold on to it. I drove it for about 10 miles or so each week and got away with a light touch service and have had to delay significantly the body/paint work I had been planning, but I've still got it thankfully. I guess that I realised that if I did sell it, I would proabably never be able to replace it and I couldn't bear the thought of selling it just to clear my credit card debt and have a few quid in the bank which the Government would have used as an excuse to curtail my barely existent benefits. Tough it out if you can, because you'll regret it if you do sell. Alternatively, pic up a well cared for 944S2 for £4K or so when you sell it , which you will find a particularly rewarding drive.
Colin, I couldn't have put it better myself! I've had a lot of people telling me to hang in there and I've been trying to convince myself the glass has to be kept half full.....all of the time. Keeping the car in storage is not a problem - I don't have a garage and I dread to think what this weather would have inflicted on the poor old girl stood out with just a cover over her. What worried me most were the tiny blobs of corrosion that had appeared on the scuttle. Hopefully the dry and warm conditions the car is currently in will slow the process dramatically. While I don't wouldn't want to delay repairs indefinitely, there is no way I could shell out for the work to be done at the moment. If the car was sold, sadly the money would go to paying my rent. Just the thought of that cash disappearing into someone elses (already) fat wallet makes it an even more bitter pill to swallow, and, like you, replacing the car at a later date would be unlikely. Selling aside, the other thing I'd been toying with is exchanging it for a 964 coupe - and there's one I've got my eye on! - but again, right now I'd have a hard time justifying shelling out extra cash. Ade, Thanks for correcting the link. It's been a long week already [&o]

Sell a 964 to pay debts and keep the cash in a bank ? You guys are depressing me ! It will only get harder to find good 964s and the banks will give no interest while sterling is a depreciating asset.The banks may well go bust in another systemic collapse in 2011 and your paper savings will be gone. sorry, rant over.

Hi Dave, Hope you're well? Not been on here for a while so I may have missed earlier discussions, but I saw your car on Pstnhds today and made a bee-line for the forum to get more info'. So what's next? or are you taking a break for a while? If so you'll be sadly missed around the 964 zone
Regards A

Blimey, you'd think for a car like that he'd put a bit more effort into the ad! [&:]
