[Shotimes] Re: (OT) How to avoid the pitfalls of pricing Former Porsche boss: There's no 'right price' for a car

[Ian Fisher]

Once I changed my expectations of the car, I started
to view it more positively. To be honest, most of my
problems have been with the engine itself and not the
car. The gen2 styling isn't so bad 12+ years later.
It's a car that I can look at and not wince.
