Now I'm sorting out what Porsche I want to get my hands on!
Published on: 2020.08.12
Rare cars are less likely to drop in price.
The other day, for the first time in my lifeFarewell to my beloved BMW 320iI owned the 320i for one year and two months. I owned the car for only one year and two months, but thanks to the 320i, I was able to drive a MT car, and I am very thankful to the 320i.
And now...I bought a 320i at the same time purchase appraisal.I felt from experience that theRare cars are less likely to drop in price.I was told that "the first time I experienced this, I was surprised to find that it was a very good idea. I know I don't have to say this again, but after experiencing it for myself, I realized that "I am not the only one who has experienced this.I guess it really is.I felt it deeply.
320i(F30)are a lot of used car sales sites, but there are a lot of them.It is very rare to find a normal model MT.(There are quite a few M-Sport MTs)The buyer was able to buy it on very good terms.
So I have come to think that the next time I buy a car, it is also important to think about when I sell it.(I'm not even sure I'd buy it on the assumption that I'd sell it.)
And if I were to buy next time, I would like to buy a Porsche, which has been my goal for a long time....
Looking back, I remember that until now, I have beenI want to buy myself a Panamera GTS.It started with a place calledThe car I wanted turned out to be a 911 Targa.When I was able to drive a manual transmission vehicle, I was able toI want a 911 manual transmission.I began to think, "I'm not sure what I want..." ... The cars I want are changing all the time depending on the situation, so I may be saying something different next year, but... I sorted out the cars I want at the moment, and narrowed it down to two.
911 Carrera T
The Carrera T I want is the 2018 Carrera T.
The Carrera T is a model that falls somewhere between the Carrera and Carrera S.A pure sports car that has been lightened in weight and simplified by cutting down various elements.In Porsche's newsroom, you'll find "Less is moreIt is titled "911" and is also referred to as a genuine 911. Incidentally, the "T" in Carrera T stands for "Touring.
At one point my husband was watching the official Porsche video of this Carrera T as much as he could scrape together, and the video was very cool. It was simple, classy, and the engine sounded great.
Wouldn't it be great to drive a Carrera T with a manual transmission! It would be fun!
I was excited to see the video.Unfortunately, only the PDK version is available in Japan.When it comes to MT versions, only parallel imports are available, and they almost never appear on used car sales sites, and of course they are priced accordingly and seem to be sold as soon as they appear on the sites.
I was saying, "I wish I wanted it..." and my husband was like, "I want it...
Well, it's a nice car, but why another Carrera T when we have a GT3 Touring at home? And why the MT? Why do you like MT so much?
He said... no, no, no.Be able to drive a manual transmission!My husband was the one who opened the door to the MT world for me by persistently telling me that I had to cancel my AT license (laugh).
And even though we have a GT3 in our home, I still can't drive the GT3 casually.I have a longing to drive a genuine Porsche called Carrera T, which seems a bit easier to drive, with a manual transmission.The first is the "I" in "I".
However, considering the budget, I honestly feel that it is quite difficult.
Normal 911（991.1)
I have always wanted to drive a stock 911 with a 991 early NA engine with a manual transmission. Thanks to you, I have been able to drive many different Porsches and have been impressed by your work.The NA engine sounds great after all.And I feel like I'm not the only one.If you choose a higher grade model with more power and horsepower, you can't have it.I think that normal is probably the best for me, since I know what I am doing.
When I told my husband about this.
If you call it NA, why not 997? I think it still has the taste of air-cooling. I mean, if you want to drive a genuine Porsche with MT, you should definitely go for air-cooled. You should get an air-cooled one.
I was told.Unfortunately I don't have the courage to buy air-cooled.It seems that maintenance has to be done quite often, and the battery can run up, ride in the middle of summer, etc.It's hard to maintain without a lot of love and financial resources...I think it's because I'm watching from the side," he said.
Given that, the last NA model, the early 991, seems like it doesn't need to be so nervous, and MT is rare, so I think it's a good idea.
Just looking at used car sales sites.While there are quite a few MTs available for the early 991 GT3 and 911R, the number of stock MTs is drastically reduced.I'm sure when I sell it, if it's in good condition, I'll be able to sell it for a reasonable price, but it's hard to find in the first place.
Well, I'm not talking about buying it that soon, maybe in a few years when I'm a little more settled with raising my kids.（I mean, I'm having a baby this month.)Until then, I hope I can patiently search for the right Porsche for me while thinking about what is right and wrong.

Good evening.
It's fun to imagine (fantasize?) a lot when buying a car. It's fun to imagine (or fantasize?) a lot when buying a car, isn't it?
In my case, even if I have decided on this one, as time goes by, I also look at other models, and my worries become deeper (laughs).
Since you are expecting a baby this month, please take your time to find the right Porsche for you after your safe delivery first.
Buzzer beater! Mr.
Thank you for everything.
I really enjoy the fantasies of what could be, and what could not be, before I buy a car (laughs).
The time of delivery is probably approaching, so the first step is to have a healthy child and
I would also like to think about the future of Porsche life ^^.
Thank you for your continued support.
Hello. It is hot every day.
I see you gave up your BMW 320i (F30) with MT. I used to drive a BMW 318i (E46) sedan with MT, and BMW's 4-cylinder engine + stock body without M-spoiler + MT is easy to handle, and I can enjoy practicing MT driving in my daily commuting and shopping.
Well, 991 early model MT is a good hobby...
When I heard that the late 991 was to be converted to a downsized turbocharged model, I rushed to my local Porsen. Unfortunately, they had already closed orders, but there was a Carrera S 7MT model that I had ordered from Polsen and had not found a buyer for it. I was sure that it was the last NA+MT model, so I bought it even though it was a Carrera S, which was over my budget, because the 991 GT3 was PDK only. (Well, contrary to my expectation, the MT model was introduced in the 991 late GT3, but it is true that it was the last NA+MT Carrera series.
...I haven't seen any Carrera S's on used car sites, but if you look carefully, Carrera's do pop up from time to time! Good luck with your search!

>I used to drive a BMW 318i (E46) sedan with MT.
Oh yes! It's a great car, isn't it! I envy you to be able to drive it with MT.
And as you say, the stock 320i was a very easy to use MT car.
>Well, contrary to expectations, a MT model was introduced for the 991 GT3, but it is true that it is the last NA+MT Carrera model.
Yes, the last NA,MT in the Carrera series is very valuable.
As you say, I've seen very few Carrera MTs of the early 991 stock system, and I'm wondering how few there really are.
I would like to look for it patiently ^^.
Thank you!
Hello. - Hello.
After encountering this blog, the basis of my car selection has changed dramatically.
You don't have to compromise when choosing a car.
If you have a hard time deciding which Porsche to buy, just buy both.
So I have come to believe that it is possible to have two cars in our house, one for my wife and one for me.
At any rate, now that my wife's 964 has been delivered, I'm going to get results from my work so that I can buy another car for myself next.
Taro.
Thank you so much for saying that!
I'm very happy!
>In the meantime, my wife's 964 has been delivered.
Oh, so the car has finally been delivered. Congratulations!
I sometimes see a woman driving a 964, and it is very cool.
I, for one, will be working hard so I can buy a Porsche of my own!
Thank you for your continued support.
