Don't buy a used Porsche 911 Carrera T if you don't intend to drive it.

Okayama wide-area agricultural road
Porsche 911

The Carrera T was delivered at the end of May 2023. It has been almost half a year since then.

The current mileage is 5500 km.

I use the Carrera T to go to the grocery store, to the dentist and dermatologist for the kids, to pick them up and drop them off... for everything, but I use the "I don't think there are many people in Japan who use Carrera T on a daily basis like this.I enjoy my 911 life every day, sometimes thinking, "I'm not sure what I'm doing, but I'm having a good time.

Carrera T used car market prices

For some time now, "Carrera T used car market prices are skyrocketing.and was a hot topic on social networking sites.

I didn't pay that much attention to it, but looking at it again, it's true.

The Carrera T I bought was almost 20 million yen including options, but I wonder if the price has gone up even in the last few months due to the small production quota of Carrera T.

Just a little while ago.The Carrera T has been delivered, and they have accepted my reservation for the Carrera T."so then again, this price may fluctuate.

Great to drive, Carrera T

The Carrera T is really very good and fun to drive. It is light and runs very smoothly, and I think it is a car that has a strong partner feel.

I recently had a customer who loves cars ride with me,I said to myself, "Wow! 911 is so much fun! Oh my God! It's so much fun! The engine runs great! I want one!"He kept saying (laughs).

It is stiff and rigid like a 992, yet not at all heavy.
It is nimble and handles extremely well. (It is so light that I think it would be too light if I added power steering plus to the Carrera T.)

It is very easy to drive in town at low speeds, easy to start, and easy to pay attention to, and when driving on mountain roads such as the Ashiu Driveway, it is fast, turns quickly, and is agile.

Of course.If I wanted a more comfortable and smooth riding model, it wouldn't be the T.I think it's a "good idea" (since the Carrera T is a sport chassis), but I'm not sure.Driving pleasure" and "everyday rideabilityThe Carrera T is perfect for those who value the

The T is so much fun that if I ever buy another 911, I want to drive a "T" next time.

In that sense, as I wrote at the beginning of this article, "Carrera T prices are going up.I am also happy as an owner to say "I am happy to be here.

But on the other hand, the mileage of Carrera T's on the used car market is usually 30 or 50 kilometers, or even 500 kilometers if they are driven....

Or, rather, they are almost as if they are not on board.

It may not necessarily have been purchased for the purpose of resale. I don't know the details because I think there are personal circumstances, and maybe there was a reason why they purchased it but had no choice but to let it go.

But "If you don't want to get in, why not just buy it in the first place?I honestly think, "I'm not sure how to do this.

I feel sorry for the car.

Carrera T is for people who take good care of their cars.

Carrera T.

In fact, when I first took delivery of the car and drove it for the first time, I honestly thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.Oh, I may give this one away soon.I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.

It didn't feel light, the engine sound was really quiet, and the engine and response were lukewarm.This might not be fun.And....

Porsche Carrera T

However, after about 300 km of breaking-in, the engine sound clearly began to change and the engine response improved.

After another 500 km, "Oh, it's getting better again! It's getting better again!" and day by day the driving changed and became more enjoyable.I bet it will be fun to ride again after 1000km.I'm excited to be on board with you," he says.

If you don't want to enjoy the fun of the car and sell it immediately, don't buy it in the first place. (I'm getting more and more frustrated as I write this lol)

I am surrounded by people who have tasted the Carrera T's performance and understand how good it is, and who have been "in the know" about it.I want a Carrera T!There are many owners who have made reservations and are waiting in line. The Carrera T is the car for them.

Especially Mr. T who is craving for Carrera T, please pray that he will get a production quota. And may the day come when we can share the driving experience of this Carrera T together.

    I always enjoy reading your articles.
    I drive a 991.1 Carrera S.

    The 992 Carrera T has been a resale model since the beginning.
    I was dismayed to see Porsche Center reselling a left-hand drive MT at a pre-priced price early on.
    Is the business struggling?
    At least it doesn't seem to have the pride of a merchant.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Curry and Rice.
      Thank you for visiting my blog!

      Yeah... I see...
      I don't know, I'm, uh, I'm a little bit unconvinced, aren't I?

      When it comes to management, I think there are a lot of difficulties, such as conflicts with the home country and Japan,
      I hope you all will keep your love and pride in your cars.

    I always enjoy reading your articles.
    It has been a month since my Carrera T was delivered to me, and the mileage has reached 1500 kilometers. As the distance goes on, the sound of the engine and the suspension become more familiar, and I feel that the Carrera T has grown indescribably.
    The recent pre-pricing of the Carrera T, in addition to the high evaluation of the car on YouTube by various prominent people, seems to be the result of the fact that the supply of the 911 Carrera itself is not keeping up with the demand in the market.
    However, it is always the case that this situation will not last long.
    We should be ambitious and enjoy this happy environment we have been given to the fullest!

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Rae.

      Oh !!!! 1500 km already! It's about time you are getting so much better!

      As you say, I can feel the Carrera T growing,
      It is indescribably fun and joyful!

      >We must keep our aspirations high and enjoy this happy environment we have been given to the fullest!
      Thank you! I am so glad I got the chance to read this!
      I want to enjoy Porsche as much as I can at this moment, without focusing only on the negative aspects.
      Thank you for your continued support!

    It has been a while. I am HAMABOKU. I have been busy and have not been able to comment at all, but I have been reading your blog for a long time. Congratulations on the delivery of your car (after all this time).

    You are so right about the Carrera T. I am so closed to the fact that dealers are reselling them at a premium price. At my dealer, the GT4RS is priced at 34 million (!!!), the 992GT3 at 38 million (!!!), and the Carrera T at 38 million (!!!). 992GT3 for 38 million (!!!) I think I can identify the dealer.
    Porsche is a German industrial product, a car that is meant to be driven, and it is very disappointing that the dealers themselves are involved in this kind of diversionary act of resale, which does not create any value whatsoever. I would like to say that it is simply a diversion, not a resale.
    I have a strong feeling that Porsche is becoming more and more acoherent in the way they sell these days, and it's like an Italian F. I'm not sure what it is. Well, I can't buy one because I don't have money, so it's just a howl of some sort (lol).
    Personally, I hope that cars like mina's and hiro's will be available to people who understand the importance of driving a car.

      It's been a while!
      I am also very sorry for the lack of blog updates here...!

      I've been very restrained in my blog, but..,
      I think if I wrote with my true feelings, my tone would be more vehement (laughs).

      HAMABOKU is right,
      I have a lot to think about in many different directions...

      Cars are meant to be driven, especially Porsches, which are high-performance sports cars,
      It's a car whose charm can only be appreciated by driving it,
      It's something...really...isn't it....

      It's kind of unsettling these days (laughs).

    Nice to meet you. I always enjoy reading your articles.
    I can't help but notice the run-up in used car market prices for the Carrera t.
    Me, I've had three Cayman Boxsters and I've been fiddling with the configs every day to get my own spec Carrera t for my first 911, but Porsche Center won't take my order.
    I would like to ask you two bright people, do you have any strange ideas on how to buy a new Carrera t now? Is it still impossible?

    • Mina.Mina.

      Thank you!

      >Any suggestions on how to buy a new Carrera t from now on?
      We're a little fuzzy on the whole idea...
      I have also heard that all dealers have probably stopped ordering 992s for new cars themselves at this time,
      The people around us who have made reservations for the Carrera T have not yet received their slots, so...

      It might be a little difficult....

    We have been watching the couple's exchanges on X (formerly twitter) and now on you tube (and of course our blog). (and of course, our blog).
    I like that you tube allows me to watch when I want!

    Since Porsche Japan has allowed dealers to sell used cars at pre-priced prices below the new car price, I have noticed too many certified pre-owned vehicles that have not increased in mileage. I have a hunch that vehicles are being preferentially allocated to those who will immediately return them to dealers.
    It would be a shame to give up an Italian horse or even a Porsche without riding it. A Porsche is meant to be driven.
    (Mr. Tokudaiji, while he was alive, said that you have to drive a Porsche for at least 5 years to appreciate the quality of that vehicle...)
    I understand that the delivery of new cars is low and dealers have to pursue profits, but I am a little doubtful that this kind of business will continue for long....
    I wish I had a vehicle I could call "my car." 。。。。

      Oh yes!
      Then I definitely have to ride for five years (laughs)!
      I mean, even if I drove it for the rest of my life, it would be difficult for me to understand the true essence of its qualities, and I think it is such a profound car.

      You want to have a car that you can call your favorite car and that will be your partner for a long, long time.

    Hello. - Hello.

    Perhaps it's in the way the used vendors talk about it.
    According to a friend of mine who recently purchased a Maserati from a certain national used car dealer.
    After all, they wanted me to buy a Porsche because it would be an asset.
    Prices never go down, because they can go up, and vice versa.
    There is a sense that everyone is stirring the pot.

    I was lucky enough to get a GT4RS,
    Everywhere I go, I hear, "I'll pay more than the price of a new car, just sell it to me.
    (Of course, I'm not giving it up.)

    And, for those of you who don't know much about it, I'm sure the creakiness of a new Porsche will make some of you say, "Oh, no," and let it go.
    (Because it's a feeling that's hard to find in domestic products, Mercedes, etc.)

    I have recently
    Do you struggle when driving? Think about it? Does it take a moment? I want to drive a car (laughs)
    I feel a greater sense of accomplishment and excitement that way.
    You are now a dominatrix and a pervert.

      I see... I had a feeling that was the case, but I guess that's pretty much the case too...

    Nice to meet you. I always enjoy reading your articles.

    At the beginning of September this year, the PC manager said to me, "Please give up the Carrera T. In exchange, I think I can deliver the PDK at the end of 2012. Instead, I think PDK can be delivered at the end of 2012.
    How do you like it? I am currently waiting for the delivery of PDK.

    In the midst of all this, there are low mileage Carrera T's on the used market, and to be honest, I'm "miffed" (laughs).

    I am envious of Mina and other Carrera T owners.
    Sorry for the #whineyness m(__)m

    But then a miracle happened. A few days after I was told to give up, I got a call from a sales rep saying, "We got a production slot for PDK. I received a call from a sales representative!
    However, the car will be delivered in February 2012! What do you think?"
    Yes, my house is in Hokuriku Japan Sea, Carrera cannot move in February due to snow accumulation (T_T).

    But, But, "Please!" In
    Production is scheduled to begin on November 22.

    I won't say that I have no regrets about the Carrera T, but when I took the PDK for a test drive, I remember how impressed I was with how smart it was! When I test drove the PDK, I was so impressed with how smart it was.
    No.

    We will have the PC keep them until the snow melts.
    I am looking forward to having the car delivered.

    It is getting colder. Please take care of both Mina and her husband so that the blog can continue for a long time.

  8. Cayenne 957.

    I always enjoy reading your articles.

    Now, I would like to correct a confusing expression in my earlier comment.

    in the document
    The "PDK" refers to "Carrera."
    The Carrera T is available in both manual transmission and PDK.

    However, I can't believe that it took less than a year from "please wait at least two years after application" to delivery of the car.
    That's how it happens, isn't it?

    It's not a Carrera T, but I think the Carrera is enjoyable enough.

    Sorry for the confusing sentence.

      >However, I was surprised that it took less than a year to deliver the car from "Please wait at least 2 years from the application".
      That's how it happens, isn't it?
      Oh congratulations !!!! Good for you!
      It is probably about to be completed soon with the start of production!
      I'm really looking forward to it ^^

      I hope the snow will melt soon and it will be a pleasant time to drive!

    Hello. - Hello.

    > I think it is about time for production to start and will be completed soon!

    This past weekend, we were in the final stage of the assembly process and were about to be inspected!

    Early! Do they work on Saturdays ^_^?

    My Porsche has a picture of the elevator.

    I see the tires have "MICHELIN" on them.

    I'm concerned about the lack of center caps on the wheels.

    You forgot to put it on.

    Is the hood also half open?

    The image that Mina uploaded is the same.
    I am relieved.
