Bought another pcar, Something different this time Options

[PanelBilly]

I been watching this car for a while and finely pulled the trigger. My plans are to offer it as a rental on Hagerty’s Drive Share program. Figure lots of people would enjoy a day or weekend trip with unique car. It’s an automatic too, so they don’t need to think about shifting with their left hand. Just need to stay in their lane. I was thinking $175-200 a day. Maybe. Weekend pa mage Friday to Sunday afternoon. Let me know what you think of the price.

Cool car and congratulations!

968s are so much harder to find in the US than 914s because Porsche made more than 10 times as many 914s!

While exact production/import numbers aren't really available, only 2,008 Cabriolets were imported to North America. We are fortunate to have one, as it took years to find the right one. Don't know how many coupes made it to the US, it may be slightly more.

If you're trying to make a profit in the long run, your rental price is not sufficient in my opinion. One big/huge problem is likely parts availability. Another is repair costs (check out a quote for a "simple" timing belt replacement).

Seriously, a brake master cylinder has a list price of at least $400 for aftermarket and $750+ for the Porsche one. That's if you can find one, which you can't. Many vendors may show a part is available and even list a price, but the part just doesn't exist because the vendor hasn't updated the listings.

Oftentimes parts suppliers will sell you the wrong part, like the clutch pressure plate for a 964 which is way too high a clamping pressure (not your car which has a tiptronic transmission) or a part for a 944 that won't work. Many many parts are NLA.

Best of luck and again congratulations on your cool new car.
