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-October 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.

Today’s Beetle has been made longer, lower, and wider, and if you look hard enough, you’ll see elements of Porsche 959 in its design. Will that, and its price, have you choosing the Bug Life? Man, you guys really hate automatic transmissions. We’ve had two slushers in a row, and...

The 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback Made Me Give a Crap About a Corolla
The isn’t a soul-sucking anonymobile only to be bought by rational people who’ve never thought about cars in a way that makes them feel feelings. It’s not a driving enthusiast’s dream, either. But this hatch seems to have revived a long-lost something from Corollas past that made them universally appealing....

At $10,777, Is This 1989 Chrysler Conquest TSi a Captive Import That’ll Capture Your Heart?
Chrysler once had this thing with Mitsubishi that produced a slew of cars like today’s Conquest. Neither company is doing so hot now, but we still have their very hot offspring. Let’s see if its price at least brings the heat. Yesterday’s faced a daunting task. Not as quirky-classic as...

Sequels are often not as good as the original, but today’s RX7 Turbo II might prove to be a car that’s an exception. Let’s see if its price makes it just the ticket. I’m pretty sure that everyone is aware that Steve McQueen based his character in the movie Bullitt...

Holden Caulfield is a literary character that you probably wouldn’t want to hang out with, as honestly, he’s kind of a dick. Today’s Commodore, on the other hand, is a Holden you might not mind getting to know, That is, if this Maloo is worth the Moolah. Squeak-ah, squeak-ah, squeak-ah…...
