Purchased Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991 first half)

Half a year was about to pass after letting go of the GT3 Touring Package. Recently, I thought that if you buy Porsche, it is a plain 718 Cayman or the first half of 991, so I focused on that area and watched it.2015 model, 991.1 (991 early model) Carrera 4 GTS of 32,000 kg exhibited in the car sensorWas done.

Agate gray metallic

GTS has a very rare 5-hole wheel specification.

Rear seatless 2-seater specification. This is also an extremely rare option. Embroidered with the GTS logo like GT3.

If you look closely at the specifications, the balance between the model year and the mileage is also good. And the standard that is overwhelmingly common in GTSNot a centerlock wheel, but a 5-hole wheel specification.. Moreover, the color is also used for the image color of the GT3 touring of the new 992, and it has been reviewed recently.Agate gray metallicThe following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

In addition, the rear seats have been removed, in addition to the red-stitched GTS interior package.With a 2-seater specification, it even has a GT3-like atmosphere.This is a specification that you can not order unless you are a very expert Porsche rider. Especially for me, who was ideal for GTS, which is not a centerlock wheel, I rarely have such specifications, so I wanted to buy it even if it wasn't.

Move the used car you want right away

I fell in love with the sense of the specifications and called the store the next morning. I told him that I would go to see the actual car from the afternoon, and I flew Cayenne from Kansai to Nagoya where the shop is located.When buying a used car, speed is the game.Moreover, I couldn't meet such a rare specification anymore, so it worked immediately.

Basically, if the item is listed from evening to night,The next morning, I will call you at the same time as the store opens and make a reservationIs good. And go to check the current car as soon as possible.Encounter with used cars once in a while.. Whether the store is far away or you have a job, if you really want it, you should go for a few reasons. In addition, if the individual you absolutely want and the competition rate seems to be high, there is also a rough technique of telling the purchase intention by telephone.

In the pastWhen purchasing the Nissan Note e-power NISIMO S, Someone came to see me before me. He was told that he would take it home without deciding on the spot, but he was late in making the decision.

Therefore, theI said I would buy it now, so I decided to buy itI have the experience.

In order to make an immediate decision on the spot, the trick is to go to the store with a firm judgment of what is OK and what is NG.

I see here for used cars

I'm not a car professional and I'm not a person in the car industry. So you can't do anything like appraisal or appraisal. Therefore, there is only one point to look at. It ’s more about the car than it ’s beautiful.Whether the owner treated the car with love and respectI try to see the traces of.

Arrive at the shop and check the current car. First of all, what I see is the tires.

You can roughly understand how to run by the degree of tire reduction, roughness, and melting. and,Whether you are wearing Porsche approved N certified tiresIt is also important that wearing this is likely to be maintained by a dealer, etc., and it is easy to receive an extended warranty at the dealer later.

As soon as I saw the current car,I turned on the light of my smartphone and suddenly started checking from the tiresSo, even if the older brother in charge is a little squeezed, I don't care about that and start checking from below (laughs).

The tires of this car are still quite new. And it turns out that the driving was fairly polite. The rubber is hardly melted or rough, and it is kept in a beautiful state. There was no strange uneven reduction in all four wheels, and the reduction was uniform.

And the exterior doesn't really matter,I don't care so much about small scratches and stepping stones.If you're worried about such things, you can repaint them and you're done, and running will definitely hurt you.

Look closely at the interior rather than that. The interior doesn't lie. this isWhen I bought the 964, the beauty of the interior was the final deciding factor.This is because scratches on the interior and the condition of the seats are often more difficult to repair than on the exterior, and even when displayed in a store, they cannot be disguised with the wax for display of Tecateka like the exterior.

The interior has a strong impression of how to use and ride the previous owner.

First of all, the smell.Do not smell fragrances, pets, tobacco, etc.This is because I personally want to ride an individual that smells Porsche rather than an individual that has erased the scent of Porsche.

Porsche isIn the air-cooled era, there is a unique air-cooled odor, and even after it becomes water-cooled, it differs from model to model.Also, although it differs slightly depending on whether it is a leather interior or Alcantara, there is a common Porsche scent that is different from other manufacturers.

And especially what you seeThread of side support on the outside of the driver's seat.Individuals who are severely rubbed or cracked here may have had an owner who lacked respect for the car when getting on and off, so personally it will be a considerable deduction.

This time it passed enough and it was more beautiful than my Boxster GTS.

nextSmall scratches on the center console and buttons.If you put a key or accessory here, it will be easily scratched. Also, in the case of female owners, the button print is often scraped off with their nails. I checked it carefully, but there was no problem with the condition.

And then...Many of the individuals who parked in the hot sun in 991 and 981 have floating door trims.So check here as well. And check the operation of the cup holder. This also passed.

Check the suppleness, softness, and water content of the leather on the seat, and check if the thread on the steering wheel is suitable for the mileage. It was Alcantara steering, but it is still fluffy and there is no problem here either.

The only thing I was interested in wasAlthough it was a leather dashboard, there were traces of smartphone holders and radar attachments.I can't get it. The radar seemed to be okay if I removed it, but I was worried that there was one point where the traces of the double-sided tape remained thin, but the deduction was that much. (This will be repaired at an interior shop at a later date)

Also, the edge protector on the door was removed, and a urethane protector was attached to the bottom of the front and rear bumpers so as not to rub it, so I asked them to remove it before delivery.

By the way, I removed these because I don't need them personally, but the fact that they are there meansThe former owner must have treated this car very carefully.I feel the love and respect for the car in such a place, so this was also a highly evaluated point.

If you check the lower part, the muffler is burnt nicely and has a uniform fox color, not only for a little ride, but also for a little ride.It turns out that it is running with moderate heat,This is also highly evaluated.

I couldn't test drive this time, so I started the engine at the end, waited for a while until the water temperature and oil temperature rose, and then emptied.Engine response and sound (especially the presence or absence of abnormal noise)To confirm. Although I was overwhelmed by the terrible sound of GTS, I made a calm judgment and passed this.

After that, listen to the maintenance history and the approximate origin of the car, and negotiate detailed conditions and prices with the person in charge. This time, body coating with high moth coat andPre-delivery maintenance will be inspected at the nearby Porsche center, and the oil and battery will be replaced before delivery.When I asked him to do that, he agreed, so I decided to purchase it.

In the next article, I will deliver the delivery date and the first impression.
