Maverick Marktpreis: Sweet Spot<br />
by Peter Wen<br />
Didn’t get what you wished for this Christmas? End of year<br />
bonus burning a hole in your pocket? Well, Marktpreis is here<br />
to help! We have a list of Porsche good-buys to get you past the<br />
post-holiday blues.<br />
This list came from a seminar titled “Sweet Spots: Porsches to<br />
Buy on a Sensible Budget”. It was hosted by Hagerty Insurance<br />
at the Porsche Parade last summer. The star-studded panel<br />
discussed sub $50k Porsches to buy now for enjoyment and for<br />
value appreciation.<br />
The panelists advised to always buy the best conditioned car you<br />
can afford and to seek out unique or even weird colors. They<br />
also suggested over time, Porsche Cabriolet models will catch up<br />
or outperform their Coupe stablemates. Whoa!<br />
Winter months may be a perfect time to shop for your next<br />
Porsche. A couple of years ago the author bought a Cabriolet<br />
over Thanksgiving, from Buffalo, NY! Talk about negotiation<br />
power! Your dream car is out there waiting to be found. Good<br />
hunting, Mavs!<br />
