A Guy Who Owns an Island Wants to Trade Some Waterfront Property for a Porsche 911 GT2 RS
A Guy Who Owns an Island Wants to Trade Some Waterfront Property for a Porsche 911 GT2 RS-May 2024

Why, hello, you there, do you happen to have a ? Of course you don’t! But if you did, this guy would trade you a big chunk of his waterfront property in Florida for it. Maybe next time.

Don’t get your feelings hurt. That “maybe next time” part wasn’t snubbing you completely; this offer to trade wheels for island property actually happens once every few years. The latest offer is for the new , a track machine that and can lap the Nürburgring five seconds than a . (In the version of English commonly spoken by people outside of the car realm, that means it’s fast.)

But only a select few get in on cars like this, and reports were that all 1,000 units of the GT2 RS were sold out before Porsche would even . A landowner in Florida missed out just like the rest of us, and posted a ad recently offering a piece of island property in exchange for one.

This isn’t the first time this particular landowner has offered up a chunk of his Florida island space to trade it for an expensive, low-volume car he missed out on, and it’s not some kind of joke—Jalopnik reached out to the owner, identified as Emilio by , who sent us proof of ownership through his land trust. He’s also tried to trade his island property for a and a , but didn’t tell Jalopnik whether he’d ever successfully made a trade like this.

The newest property for trade is on for $555,000, meaning, if that’s market value, this would fall somewhere between a good deal and a really good deal for a GT2 RS owner—depending on its specs and how high they drove the price. But when a person has the cash for a GT2 RS, for which there’s than supply, striking a deal probably isn’t super high on the list.

Anyway, if you happen to find yourself in possession of a GT2 RS anytime soon, you could stand to get a decent deal on your own island space in Florida—you know, so long as that island space is and such.

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

At $18,500, Would You Lean Toward Buying This 2022 Ford Mustang?

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...
