I too drive my 986 S everyday again (and even make reasons to go to the store, ya know).

When I buy residential real estate and have found that if I do not talk about it, the price of the subject property goes UP. What I do is point out that even a $12k car can be made to look like $60k. Here is where I focus their attention….things gone DOWN in value over time, even a Porsche. And, everything needs repairs. Then, once they KNOW I can handle it, I start to talk about the repairs on their property and I have found they open up a little more.

At first it is a detriment, but I turn that around into actually getting a better deal. The owners have seen HOW I take care of my stuff and they WANT their property cared for that way too.

On Commercial property….they just think I have good connections, which doesn't hurt.

I was at a loss…until I figured out a way to turn the conversation around.

At a daily job, it is a different mentality. Kind of like, "What are you doing here? You obviously don't NEED to work." Bosses got jealous fast…unless you take THEM for a ride! Then, you become their driver!
