    Dilemma

    I'm starting to look for a replacement for my trust Laguna. I really, really, really fancy a Porsche However they're so damn expensive. An 8 year old 911 Carrerra coupe is Ģ34,000! For that price I could buy a brand new Peugeot 407 2.7 Hdi coupe and have my kitchen done. That's also not taking into account the insurance which will be Ģ600 more. There's also the extra damage to the environment

    It's got to be a 911 and not a boxter because I sometimes transport my grandchildren about

    My heart says one thing, my head says the other, oh what shall I do?

    back in the old days pre divorce !!!! i used to drive 911,s i had 4 of them in total. Then i started a business oimporting jap sportscars.

    To be honest the 911 is about Ģ50,000 overpriced !!! it is ok, but in reality is not as good as most high end Jap sportscars. I had a Honda NSX which frankly was in a different league.

    So my advice is save your money as Chad says. At the end of the day there is no such thing as a performance car, only bikes perform.
