Good sleuthing! That’s so bizarre...maybe he/she specializes in them? Or maybe the algorithm on CarGurus prefers individual sellers and they’re gaming the system? So weird.

I’ll probably be in the minority here, but if you know what you’re getting into, this isn’t a bad car. It’s a luxury 7-seater that’s comfy, good on mileage, and drives well.

The boys were always ahead of their time.

Starting Sept. 25, the new subscription level will offer access to a single Porsche model for one or three months.

I guess that makes a little bit of sense to me. I don’t have fuck you money, but I have a few nice cars and make more than enough to live comfortably in a house in major coastal city historic district, but maybe this is literally for the hundreds-of-millions type people that find a dealership that onerous. If it were

Except you can’t get what you want right at the moment, as far as I’m reading the language - you have to keep the car at least one month, you can’t get one for your daily weekday trips, then grab a two seater for weekend fun, which would be a selling point.

You could lease a 911 for 36 months for half that according to their current lease specials...how does this math make any sense at all? Do you really need to be swapping out your Porsche every three months? Minimum seems to be a month, so you can’t exactly daily your Macan, get a 718 for your weekend trip up to Big Sur

They do not fit the first, by any means at all. Uber controls their cars, their rates, and (indirectly) their hours/rate of work. This is clear to anyone that’s even taken a passing glance at what an Uber driver has to do in order to be a driver.

I used to be a contractor - I set my own prices for video production, the company agreed to them, and then I set about delivering the final product by the due date. I didn’t get penalized for not working certain hours, or not using a certain type of equipment, or any other set of rules. As a contractor, I was given a

This is a fair point.

I would wager up to $100 that this will never tow anything in its life.

To that point, 20k less, still under 2k miles, and way more tasteful.

I know they’re meant for slightly different markets, but at this price, why not just get a Raptor? You get nearly the same speed and an (arguably, I guess) more usable truck. Not like anyone buying this is using it to haul timber or gravel.

I’m sorry, did I read that correctly? 105hp? That comes out to...$200/horse, which seems like a terrible deal to me, despite the higher torque. With oversized wheels like that, you’re effectively destroying even more of that power.

If you’re driving highway mostly I wouldn’t worry about it. The one I put in my A3 is stiff, at least compared to your average clutch in a Peugeot or VW or something. I got pretty used to it, even in stop and go traffic, so I think you’ll probably be fine.

They’re so great - I live in DC and this clutch has been solid for the last 20k miles in both city driving and spirited countryside driving.

I imagine he doesn’t want to deal with investing money in a car he’s just selling - would you do that? Car is still driveable, and the future buyer can swap in something a bit more heavy duty, like a South Bend clutch or something else more race-y and durable. Even with the clutch fix, still seems like a pretty good

Straight six, manual, two door sport coupe? Even at the mileage and with a clutch replacement in the budget, it’s a certified driver’s car deal at $4,000.

The Cool district in Rotterdamn was originally founded in the 1200s, I think (thank Wikipedia). I’ve been there, and it’s ironically (not ironically?) the cool district - lots of great bars, shopping, cafes. Rotterdam itself is a great city. Small-ish, but still a lot of fun stuff to do. Reminds me a bit of Berlin.
