None of us swap out hi performance cars every 1 to 3 years because it is a good investment. We do it because it is one of the rewards for working so hard and a hobby we are passonate about. Some people knit.
Any high performance car is going to have crushing depreciation in the first 2 years (including the P cars). You can manage it a little by getting a good deal on the buyside and selling privately (as I did in my case) but you just have to accept a pay to play attitude if you want to roll in the newest and fastest ride you can afford.
Where are those pics of the TTS!!!

So far very,very happy with that thing,performance is just otherworldly and traction seems limitless.
What shocked me the most though,is the incredible stability at speed,something that was not a well known trait in previous Turbos.

I know,I know...
Please understand that it is my daily driver,I will put close to 20k miles in just a year on it and I am really worn out dealing with cops here,getting the ticket EVERY time I park my car with no plate in front.
I could live with that on my weekend warriors (like 458) but with daily driver I just don't have the energy......

Great looking car. I love the new look of the 991 and the look alike MB exhaust 
.
I can't stomach the 180K sticker. I need to work smarter to make more $$$.
