Sorry about the Cayenne.

I got pretty lucky with both of the 991's.
First one - found a super loaded "enthusiast" build 2014 991S with PCCB, powerkit, aerokit, manual trans, etc with 9k miles on it for $76k at Carmax, was around $83k with taxes and extended warranty. Original MSRP was $146k. Knew they way underpriced it. Bought it, sold it for $100k a month later.
Second one - found on Autotrader, Had been in a front-end accident, damage was pretty minor but it was on the Carfax. Some bigshot attorney owned it as his daily driver and he just wanted to clear some space for an incoming GT3RS, he had 6 or 7 other Porsches. Had full $12k TechArt body kit, full leather interior, desirable white/black color combo, etc, 34k miles when I bought it. He was asking $62.5k, I was susprised he took 58k but I think he just wanted a serious buyer and to be done with it. I'm sure if he had put it on Rennlist it would've sold in a few hours. Knew I'd be able to drive it a few years and sell it for at least close to what I paid, but the market held strong and got more than I expected.
Decided I wasn't driving it enough (had an X3 that I drove 80% of the time) to justify having that much money sitting in my garage so I sold it, bought the Cayenne Turbo for $20k less, then used the rest to landscape my backyard. Loved the CTT, super comfortable, pretty damn fast for an SUV, but I won't miss the shitbox auto transmission. Now I'm back in a supercharged M3 with an extra $16k to do whatever with....so it all worked out.
The interior of the Porsche with full leather and the PDK are both worlds above the M3, but it's not like the M3 is a pile of trash either. One day when the market cools off a bit, I'll get a Cayman GTS or another 991 GTS or a GT3. It might be a while though.
