The short answer is yes. Buy two (one a Tributo/final edition). Wrap the Tribby in cotton wool and the other to drive to your hearts’ content. I can’t justify owning two so mine gets driven. I’ve not too many years left and I want to have fun in my remaining time. I’ve other investments to keep me liquid.

The thing is it has no racing heritage, nor an exotic engine but the carbon tub makes it unique in its class. Too many were produced to make it truly rare, but if you have fifty years to wait…
I don’t and care not what its monetary value is. To me it’s value is in how it’s made me feel about driving…from jaded soul to resurrected enthusiast…It’s the automotive fountain of youth.

 

There's probably better investments out there if you were to sell your car. But then you can't drive a portfolio around weekends.

Factor in insurance , maintenance etc. To me it's a piece of joy in my life and if it goes up in value then it's a bonus. But I'm not bothered .

 

You want an investment? At a paltry 4%, most money market funds will return 1.48x in 10 years compounded.
Assuming an 7% annual average stock market return the ten year compounded return is 1.97, or double your money.

You want value for money? Drive your car. Its likely the best value in the world. Girls at the gym gush over my $57k (what I paid) 4C far more than my $95k Cayman.

 

if you want an investiment……Gold etf made 47% since dicember last year

If you want a car to drive enjoy 4c
if 4C iis not your dream car ,drive it, made the investment above, and when you have the money to buy a Lamborghini, a Gt3 Rs or a Ferrari sell it and buy the car of your dreams 🤷‍♂️

 

Chicks just don't dig german.......unless they are affected by the 3 pointy star........

 

4C has to be among the best investment cars in its price range. Fun to drive and nice to look at don't hurt either

 

It won’t be a $100k car anytime soon but you also don’t lose much value as you put miles on it so that’s a win for me. Just drive the darn thing. I use it as my daily because I wanted something that gave me a thrill even at city speeds. My 991 Carrera doesn’t compare.

 

I’m considering picking up either a 991.1 4S or a 992.1 4S as a daily, given the brutal winters that come with living this close to the Alps. My current daily is a Tesla Model 3 Performance, which honestly feels a bit like driving a high-speed washing machine.
That said, I keep wondering whether a 911 is actually practical enough for daily use.

1. I already own a few two-seaters, so I can live with limited space. Still, for a daily, I’d like at least the option to take a couple of friends along. The 911 technically has two extra seats, but let’s be real — no adult can actually fit back there.
2. The frunk isn’t exactly generous either — not much bigger than the one in my 4C. Sure, the space behind the front seats can serve as extra storage, but it’s awkward to reach and not exactly ideal for larger items.

I love the idea of dailying a 911 — it feels like a bit of a “forever car.” And high-mileage 911s are definitely a thing. But I can’t help wondering: what if it just ends up sleeping next to the 4C in the garage because it’s too impractical?

 

Invest in your life experience. You only have 1 chance to do it right. One day, if you'll get that far, you'll be lying in the bed shitted and pissed and you'll realize that the investments don't matter anymore and you'll be out of time to rewrite the history and give it another try. If you don't enjoy the 4C now, sell it and get something else that you will enjoy and give 4C to someone else who will put it into good use.

As an investment, I think land and premises are much better and safe bet than cars.

 

Definitely. You don't want to be the richest bloke in the graveyard ..

 

@GMS. Sage advice. I trained to do "L" pullups (your legs are bent 90 degrees at the waist). I'm very close to perfection on performing them. I cast about looking for new challenges, having just completed the Alta Via 4 (via ferrata) in the Dolomites.
Two weeks ago I thought I needed a muse. A passing fancy especially since my wife wouldn't take kindly to it. Truly first world problems- but why waste the situation you are in? I get mad at myself for squandering the day and not finding a new exciting direction.

 

its a damn shame that people on this boards don’t appreciate the 1.75L engine heritage. Alfa‘s marketing department failed miserably educating NA audience about significance of 1750cm3

 

Might I toss out the suggestion of the CT5 Blackwing, it has become my all time favorite daily driver. Amazing car, can be spec'd to be very understated in appearance. Reliability record is pretty good, and I find I am putting 5 times the miles on my Blackwing than I do my 911, it is simply more fun, more practical, and much more unhinged than my 992. Oh, wait, my bad, the ROW doesn't get these supercharged V-8 monsters. Sorry. But for the OP, it is a nice contrarian pairing with the 4C, put the miles on the caddy, then enjoy the 4C that much more for special drives, as it's quite different than the blackwing.

We do.
And I was on track with someone who has one of these, and a Camaro. He brought the Caddy because he blew the engine in the track car. The Blackwing was within a second (on street tires) of the Camaro on 200TW rubber!

 

A Zagato Aston adds a bit of Italian flare to the equation.

 

The perfect daily driver indeed!
