When a New Jersey dealer and a Porsche employee met, about half a million worth of cars were transacted, including two relatively rare Porsches.
It sounds like the beginning of a cheap joke, but it wasn’t.
Partly, because four expensive cars and around half a million dollars changed hands in this deal.
But mostly because one of these cars is a true soon-to-be-gone icon.

The two Porsche 911s alone are worth a fortune
Bear with us because what happened in the video shared by George J. Saliba, a supercar dealer from New Jersey, and Jack Daniels Porsche manager Peter Helou sounds like a Hollywood script.
Helou bought two Porsches from Saliba – a 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo 4S and a 2025 Porsche 911 992 for a grand total of $317,000.
After that, Saliba also sold a Mustang GT500 in a separate transaction for $111,000 and bought a BMW M4 in a third separate transaction for around $60,000.

Even though the M4 was the cheapest car there, it’s also the only car that’s at risk of extinction.
It’s also surprising to note that the GT500 ‘only’ cost $111,000.
As cars go, it’s an extremely valuable.
So valuable that Hollywood screenwriters even ‘trademarked’ a specific model for 25+ years just because it starred in a movie.
Why the M4 is the unicorn here

The fact of the matter is, 10 or 20 years from now, we’ll still have brand-new Porsche 911s and classic Mustangs.
However, we probably won’t have brand-new BMW M-cars… with a stick shift.
BMW bosses themselves admitted manual transmissions are dying, partly because people simply don’t want them, as it turns out.
As of 2025, there are still cars that offer a manual gearbox option, including some from high-end manufacturers.
The newly launched Aston Martin Valiant, for example, has a manual gearbox. So does the Nilu hypercar, which was developed by a former Koenigsegg engineer.
But nothing ages faster than tech, and, in a world where cars are increasingly software-driven, manual gearboxes are likely to go the way of the dinosaurs.
