Why are Porsches so rare?

I don't think I would say rare. Ferrari, Maseriti... those I would call rare. I would call Porsche "un-common", compared to a Chevy or Ford. Its a two seat sports car, in a world of SUV's and Minvans. In parts of the US... aka snowbelts.. they have a 6 month driving window. Thats my humble opinion.

Like most things, limited availability, and high desirability.

There are some very rare Porsches.

I would not consider the Boxster rare. There are some very rare 911's, for example.

They weren't left to cook as long as the medium or well done ones.

It must simply be that they are in limited supply....I'm not complaining though

I think it depends on where you live. I see you are in KY. Might have a better chance of seeing p-cars in Lexington and Louisville areas for sure.

If you lived in LA, NYC, Miami and some other large metro environments, you would see p-cars daily...

One of the worst things I saw one time was in NYC. A 911 S cab was in a parking lot downtown up on racks.. (it's what they do there to conserve space)

It looked pretty new, but was scuffed all to hell from the abuse of simply daily parking. I thought to myself "Good god, someone must have money to burn putting such a nice car to shame by leaving it outside 24/7 in a damn parking lot in downtown New York City"...

I live in Clarksville, Tn and although close to Nashville, I have only spotted a couple other p-cars in my neck of the woods.

There is ton of them were I live

Here in LA there are Porsche's everywhere. Almost a dime a dozen.

In Alabama,/Tennessee they are also a dime a dozen.

Usually, if you don't own the particular type of car, you won't be looking for it as you drive. I notice that when I am driving my Porsche, I notice other Porsches. When I drive my truck, I don't really notices Porsches. But they are out there. So, really, they are not rare, maybe, at times, invisible.

I now live in the richest (per capita) county in the country (Fairfax, VA) and I see about 1 a day...

[J'sboxie]

here we have around 15 911's and around 6 boxies on the island...after crossing over to the mainland, that % of seeing them goes to 0. Around here, people tend to have either suv's...yuck...or in the inner city, you have the 500$ cars with 5000$ rims....go figure

can anyone explain to me how you can buy an olds 88 that has been beat up to hell...dents,headlights falling out, smoking like cheech and chong with 6000$ radios and 5000$ 30" or whatever rims??????

ps...not a knock on cheech and chong...they were very good to watch in college...as long as I could keep my eyes open,lol just don't spill the water, i did in my van once in school...nice to have to explain that "smell" going home to see the folks ...hahahaha...sorry I could not help it

ps...merry christmas to all and happy new year...happy boxing!!!
