Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

I don't mean to sound harsh, but selling it could free up a fair bit of cash, I'm assuming it's a 993 or 964 if you bought it ages ago? They command a premium now and hold their value, you could keep it in the family and downgrade to a Targa or C4, and probably make £20-25k.

I ran the Falken FK452s on my old E34 and they were a pretty good tyre. That mid-range between premium and budget tyres.

What width are your rears? 10J? 295/30/18 is an expensive size.

I have thought of selling it. But I want to hang onto it as long as possible. Its such an amazing car. If my finances recover, then all will be well. If not, it will have to go. I am optimistic, which is perhaps why I am hanging on.

I wish it was a 993....but then it would be even more horrible to sell it. Its a 996, 2004. So worth far less.

Its been tweaked a little, by a local Porsche racing firm, to 505bhp. But thats not really had an impact on tyre wear. They never do many miles, apparently, on Pilot Sports.

Hard to give up a car like that.

The 453 is supposed to be an improvement on the 452. So I will give them a try.
