Porsche Gives Flippers The Flip – Warns ‘Investors’ To Look Elsewhere

Porsche has declared its cars are not to be used by ‘flippers’ to make a quick buck, particularly limited edition models.

Ignoring Warney’s famous leg-spin delivery in cricket, a ‘flipper’ was once a person who frequently changed their mind, or someone afraid of making decisions, but reality television has helped to create a new breed of ‘flipper’.

The flipper of the 21st century buys an item with a view to selling it again shortly after with a modest mark-up - perhaps following some form of restoration. With enough time and effort, flipping can become a profitable game. 

But Porsche’s GT boss Andreas Preuninger is no flipper fan, warning the money-makers to stay away from the German carmaker.

“I personally like to see my cars being used,” Preuninger said, speaking with Car And Driver.

“That’s what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust. I don’t like this business of people buying our cars to make money on them.”
