Wishing you many more.

I just hustled hard. Every car was a slight increment in value over the previous one. So just kept reinvesting. I guess this is the only way I will reach my goal of cheap 10th-hand Ferrari

For the Porsche, it's around 30k per year with labour, parts, everything - all included for general service. For the Maserati, the sky is the limit. It was always in lakhs, but it was worth it as it's way undervalued in India right now. So the low cost of purchase make's up for high maintenance cost.

One suggestion. Please post more pictures. Why starve people with only one?

Thanks mate. Personally never met car baba, but I know that everyday, there is a huge line of people waiting to get their car approval done. Here are some more pics with blessings from Car baba.

Hi,

I don’t want to do any disservice to people who have got cars from me by revealing their values. But the only thing I would say is that after Covid, the two-door sportscar market has become very hot. And prices only are going to go up. With new car rates ever-increasing, the second hand market is holding its own.

I wish you many happy miles and keep writing.

Such an enjoyable read. Most of us aren't bold enough to change 5 daily drivers in 2 years, never mind once-in-a-lifetime sports cars. Thank you for lettis us letting us live our dream vicariously through you. Keep posting your journey please!

I paid more than market value. As I now know value of 981 gen cars. They are the most versatile car’s which can be used for all purpose and one out of which most potential can be extracted currently.

Thanks Lillios,
I wanted to express my gratitude for the wonderful thread you've created. Your insights have truly sparked and rekindled my enthusiasm. I've come across an exceptional car that aligns perfectly with my preferences, boasting the following specifications:
PORSCHE BOXSTER-S
3.5 V-6 315 BHP
YEAR - 2015
KMS - 16000
OWNERSHIP - 1st
Haryana registered
INSURANCE THIRD PARTY
COLOUR - CARRARA WHITE WITH RED INTERIOR (my favourite colour combination)
NEW TYRES
WITH COMPLETE DEALERSHIP SERVICE HISTORY

PAID OPTIONS
Carrara White Metallic , Convertible Top Red
Leather interior in natural leather Garnet Red
Electrically folding exterior mirrors
Model designation on doors in Black
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
Sport Chrono Package ( mentioned in specs but dial not seen on steering)
19-inch Cayman S wheels
Wheels painted in black
Sports seats (2-way, electric) --but don`t know what this means as not seen electrical seats in photos.
Instrument dials White
Sport Chrono stopwatch instrument dial in White
Audio system CDR Plus (incl. Sound*Package*Plus)

Although I can't share photos at this point as the car isn't mine yet, and the owner isn't comfortable with external photo sharing, I must highlight that the car is impeccably maintained. It has been quoted at 75 lakhs. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on whether this price is reasonable for the purchase.

Thank you once again for your valuable insights.
