I have a friend who has one of those limited edition Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4. Porsche made only 200 of them and everyone paid above list price for their car. Each dealership got one and no more than two to sell. My friend got it because he is a long-time Porsche guy and over time has bought numerous cars from this one particular dealership.When he drives that limited-edition race-ready 911, which he does rarely, people leave notes on his windshield offering to buy it for cash, routinely offering $150–200K more than he paid for it.He was invited to attend the opening of a new Audi dealership by the owner, who also owned the Porsche dealership nearby. The owner asked him to bring the GT3, which would be parked in a prominent place for the party. They were sparing no expense and it would be black tie and catered by a very well-known restaurant in town.My friend drove his flawless jet black car to the opening of the dealership. The owner was in the carport welcoming the guests, and met him as he stepped out warmly shaking hands in welcome. A valet walked up to park his car, which my friend of course declined, but the owner insisted on valet.“Don’t worry about it, all the cars are being valet parked tonight to clear the area for the party. We have a special place for your car,” and he nodded to a spot next to a couple Audi R8 V10s.My friend looked at the owner skeptically, because the valet looked like a 16-year-old girl. He asked her if she could drive a stick and she smiled with a “Yes, of course sir. Please don’t worry.”So my friend and owner walked away only to turn on hearing the 911 GT3 RS4 getting over revved. It was screaming loud under the carport. The valet then popped the clutch. There was loud tire squeal and the car leaped over the curb and literally flew through the air before coming to rest among some shrubs.My friend said that the owner lost all color and looked like he was having a stroke; he was speechless and immobile for long moments in disbelief.Fortunately there was only minor cosmetic damage to the front fascia, no suspension or frame damage. Needless to say, the car was repaired and returned to my friend in spotless condition.My friend is a car fanatic but he’s not crazy. He’s also very kind. On the night he initially received the GT3 new, it was raining and misty as he left the Porsche dealership. As he got to the traffic light not more than 50 feet away, he was lightly rear-ended by a frail elderly woman in a very old Volvo. She was horrified because she could see the new car sticker and no plates. She apologized profusely, was visibly shaken and near tears.He told her not to worry about it. She didn’t need to give him her insurance information because he would take care of the minor damage on the rear bumper. Fortunately the titanium exhaust tips were unscathed.

They sell them to people like me!We had an ’08 Pathfinder 4x4, the miles were creeping up. In 2013 the redesigned Pathfinder had been introduced and my wife declared it “atrocious”. So…options for a 3-row, midsize SUV with a low range 4WD? Slim to none. 4Runner (tiny back seat), LR4 ($$), G-wagen ($$$$), that’s pretty much it.So, we looked around and came across an ad at a local Nissan dealership for a 2011 Pathfinder 4X4. It had been at the back of the lot for two years, never sold or registered. With a little negotiation we bought it for $10K off sticker with new warranty. Why had it sat so long? 4X4 old-style body on frame, gas-thirsty box on wheels, as everyone else has gone to CUVs.Before that, we leased a 2011 335is convertible. I had gone to look at a coupe, and my wife said, “Hey, you just survived a major medical scare and we’ve never had a convertible, get that!” Who was I to argue with the boss.The car stickered at $60K, but had been on the lot for almost a year. Maybe it was the saddle brown interior, or that it didn’t have NAV, who knows. But we leased it for $0 down and $600/month for 36 months, including the added wear/tear/tire warranty.Some people need the latest/greatest, but others like myself shop for bargains and are willing to settle for “last year’s model” if the price is right.

I call them cop catchers. When I buy a car I keep the old car as a backup. Plus when I was young I couldn't afford a nice car. So these old beat up cars with dents, body rot, etc. The cops would see these crappy looking cars and pull me over thinking I'm a loser because I can't afford a nice looking car. So maybe he thinks I drink and/or do drugs. One car, I had was an Olds Toronado. The rear end air shocks were gone. The rear end sagged big time. It was all dented up (thanks to my wife) and had rot (now in Massachusetts I wouldn't be able to get a sticker because of the body rot). In a two year span I got pulled over in that car 3 or 4 times. Not once in my nice looking other car. One time I asked why I got pulled over. He said I had a brake light out. I checked later. My car had like 10 bulbs across the rear end. Not one of them were out. On these stops I never got a ticket, not even when once was because I had a head light out. They just wanted to see if I was DUI. I'm white so it wasn't a prejudiced thing either.
