But the answer is yes. Of the people considering a 992 Carrera S Cabriolet purchase, zero of them care about $135K in the bank.
Yes I am and of course I would care about that amount.

My point was if you're looking at spending $150K in cash out of pocket, then obviously that $135K difference out of your bank account is not a big deal. If you cared that much about the money, then you wouldn't be looking to spend it on a car or else you see a value in spending it. Only you can choose your perspective there.

Personally, I'd rather have $135K in my bank account. But that's because I don't have bank funds where I can shell out $150K cash for a vehicle. If I did have that kind of money, I can assure you my perspective would be different.

Feel the same way here.... If one can truly afford to pay $150K cash for the 992S... probably $160K with tax and license.

Spending additional $15K or needing to sell the 2012 base Z is quite insignificant financially.

I'm waiting for the 992 GTS and will keep the Z as a spare car.
