In 2017 I traded my 2005 911 with 120,000 miles for an Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio. I love the Alfa, but I sometimes miss driving a stick.
Any suggestions for a new (or at least late model) car with a stick, other than doing another 911?
You're going to sell the Quad?
$$$$?
Not sure yet about selling the Alfa. Probably 6 months or so away from that decision.
It only has about 36,000 miles and only about 4,000 on its new engine.
More on the new engine: Took it in for new tires and an oil change and Alfa called and said there were metal shavings in the oil and I needed a new engine. I was a bit skeptical, and was 2 months past the expiration of my 4 year warranty, but they called back and said Alfa was going to cover it anyway. So, it's almost like new, except I still don't know what caused the problem, and/or if it is going to happen again.
I don't know if the new engine makes it more or less attractive to a prospective buyer. For me, I would probably say less, just because it carries some uncertainty. If I do end up selling it, I will throw it out here first, although I am in Florida, so that may be another negative factor.
