Why buy a Porsche for yourself?

I recently purchased myself a Porsche 911 Carrera T. I was told, "Why I insisted on buying a Porsche with my own money.I would like to write today about the point of "the

Thankfully, our family already had several Porsches owned by my husband, so we could drive them every day if we wanted to. Hence, I was able to drive the "Porche.I want to drive a Porsche, I want to drive a Porsche.If it had only been the desire to "get a Porsche", there would have been no need at all to go to the trouble of purchasing a Porsche in his own name.

My husband also told me, "...I mean, why bother buying it?I was asked many times, "What do you want to do?" and I was happy with my previous car, the Swissport.No need to dare to buy a new Porsche yourself at all.This was the situation.

So why did we buy it?

It was because I wanted to taste the experience and the world I could gain by buying a Porsche for myself.

I think what you get out of anything is very different when you do it with your own money than when someone else pays you to do it.

Of course, there are things that can be experienced without purchasing them yourself, but there are still many things that can only be experienced by acquiring them yourself.

From all the Porsche owners around me on a daily basis,Buying myself a Porsche has changed my life, made me want to earn more money, made my commute more enjoyable, and raised my goals even higher."As I heard people say, "I want to experience the world," I wanted to experience it too.

What kind of world is that?What does it mean to have a richer life, a greater desire to earn money, and what are the circumstances under which you can actually earn money?I was genuinely interested in knowing more about this.

It may seem extravagant or wasteful to spend a lot of money to see such a world, and there are pros and cons to it. But this is the main reason I bought a Porsche.

Change of heart after purchasing Porsche

So how did it go after I actually purchased it? It's only been a month and a half since I bought it, so I haven't seen any major changes in my life, but there have been at least three major changes in my state of mind.

The first thing I felt was,It's about the money limiter coming off.

I have never made a purchase worth 20 million yen (that's right). I have always had a low appetite for things, and I am the type of person who uses shoes, wallets, bags, coats, etc. until they wear out, and I think the most expensive possessions I have ever bought for myself were around 30,000 yen (explosion).

I had such an astonishing experience, shopping for 20 million yen,I wonder what the resale rate is like." "Are residual value loans really that low!" "Should I raise more of a down payment to keep my loan repayments as low as possible?"I thought about many things, such as.

However, when the car was delivered and I actually drove it, I was amazed.Huh? Why was I so freaked out before when I was buying a $2,000,000 Swisspopo?I got the feeling that "I'm not a good person.

Even though the amount of money I could earn had not changed significantly compared to then, once I made a big purchase, the limiter came off...I didn't have to be so afraid.

However, since I have a monthly loan payment of over 200,000 yen, I can never waste money on anything out of the ordinary, and I don't particularly want anything else, so it's not like I'm spending my money...

If you really want something, just take the plunge and buy it, even if the price is high.I began to think.

However, in the case of the Carrera T that I purchased, I am a little relieved because I have the prospect that the value will not drop significantly if I have to sell it in a few years, but I am still afraid to buy a model that I don't expect to have much resale value.

If I can buy without worrying about resale, I can go one step further.

Well, I guess we're not there yet.

The second change I felt was,More enjoyable conversations with Porsche owners.It is. I'm getting a little taste of the feeling of being able to have a conversation from the same perspective (although I'm not sure if we are still completely on the same page since you are all very senior).

Previously, I drove my husband's Porsche, so when he asked me about the detailed specifications, it was difficult for me to understand or answer, and the topic was rarely deepened.

But this time, I chose all the specifications myself,'Your monotone design is fabulous!' I was told, "Yes, it is! I tried to keep it in crayon and black...!"I can talk a lot with them,

When asked, "Has the engine changed compared to when you first took delivery of the car?" I can answer with a real feeling, "Yes, it really changed after 300km! I can answer with a real feeling...

I realize once again that this is the joy of talking about my car. But still, it is such a pleasure to be praised for my Porsche.

And the third change,I've learned to keep a clean ride.That is. When I used to drive my husband's Porsche (Panamera or Cayenne), I didn't care much if it got dirty (sorry), but not when it was my car.

Whenever I find even the slightest bit of dirt, I immediately wipe it off. Even when I go to McDonald's with the kids to get a hamburger,Wait until you get home!"and started putting the hamburgers in the trunk to keep the smell out of the car (laughs).

However, I have a thin scratch on the center console and I guess that is bothering me now...

911, glad I bought it!

Of course, I had declared on this blog that I was buying myself a Porsche, so I said, "If I don't achieve this goal, I'm a liar...I was very much inclined to say, "I'm not serious," but I was also very much inclined to say, "I'm not serious.

But now that I bought it for myself, I am really enjoying the days when I can drive it as much as I want. I haven't finished breaking in the car yet, but I am looking forward to seeing how the Carrera T will grow.

I am really glad I bought it.

It has now been about a month and 10 days since the delivery and the mileage has already exceeded 1500km. We are halfway to the end of the breaking-in period, so let's do our best! (Are you serious?)

    Porsche has various options for the same model and various interior colors, so it's nice not to look like everyone else.
    Not to mention fun to ride.
    The scratches on the center console are 992 alu alu, so you can have a wrapping shop wrap that area (I did).
    Just by wrapping it, if it's a small scratch, it's hard to tell.

      And as you say, it totally depends on the specifications,
      It would be nice to have a Porsche that is uniquely my own.

      >The scratches on the center console are 992 alu, so you can have a wrapping shop wrap just there (I did).

      Oh, thank you for the valuable information!

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

    I always wanted to drive a Porsche, but was I allowed to buy one myself? I felt an emotional hurdle.

    However, when I was pushed by the opinion that if I could afford it, I should get in, I started to wonder why I had never bought one before (laugh). (laugh).

    Have a pleasant Porsche life!

      Mr. Curry and Rice.

      Thank you for everything!

      >But when I bought the car, I was pushed by the opinion that if I could afford it, I should get on it, and I began to wonder why I had not bought it before. I started to wonder why I hadn't bought it before (laugh).
      I understand the weight of these words very well...
      I also wondered why I did not take the plunge sooner, although I am sure there was a lot of timing involved,
      I thought it was important to take the plunge.
      Thank you for your continued support!

    Hello. - Hello.
    I recently took delivery of my Carrera T as well.
    I haven't taken it out of the garage yet because I haven't installed the protection film yet.
    I finished breaking in at 2000 km on my GT4.
    I changed the oil and revved it up a bit.
    I will break in the Carrera T until 3000 km.
    It will be even better after 1000 km.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Mocchan

      Thank you!

      Congratulations on the recent delivery of the "Carrera T"!
      The car was not taken out of the garage before the protection film was applied,
      I could feel that they were cherished ^^^.

      The break-in experience with GT4 is also helpful!
      Thank you also for the information that the performance improves further after 10,000 km.
      I would be happy to hear your comments on the drive and any advice you may have.

      I hope we can enjoy the Carrera T life together.

    I always enjoy reading your blog.
    I am a previous commenter.

    The other day, my little Carrera T finally went out of production,
    We finally made it to the shipping stage!
    I imagine that it will be about a month before I arrive in Japan. Like Mina-san, I am now imagining the break-in period and smiling to myself (laugh).
    Since July, the Carrera T has also gone up in price by more than 1 million yen,
    I gave up on the idea that it could not be helped in this day and age, and decided to think about the enjoyable life of the 911 after the car was delivered!

    I look forward to reading more of your blog!

      Mr. Rae.
      Thank you for everything!

      >The other day, my little Carrera T finally went out of production,

      Oh yes! It's finally happening!
      Carrera T, really, because the car was dozens of times better than I had imagined,
      I am sure that Rai-san will have a very enjoyable car life.

      >The Carrera T has also gone up in price by more than 1 million yen since July,
      The amount of the price increase is already amazing...

      Thank you for your continued support!

    Hello.

    Buy a house and you won't care at all about the 10 or 20 million for a car, so now buy a house (^^;)
    I think GT3 will be on the horizon, lol.

      Thank you!
      It really costs a lot of money already, doesn't it? LOL.

    Mina, it's been a while.
    I was so impressed that you finally bought a Porsche yourself. I remember I wrote in my goal before Corona that I would drive a Porsche at the age of 45, but it is now two years later (-_-;) I was impressed that Mina-san is a man of his word.

    Now, is this Carrera T a full loan? Or did you prepare a down payment of 10% or so? I think I have already answered this question before, but it has been a while since I was here, and I was suddenly curious.

    Even if the limiter to buy a large amount of money has been removed, I was wondering if your first thought is to buy without money (no down payment) or to buy when you have some money ready (down payment and a little bit of money).

    We hope you and your family enjoy the hot weather!

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Yoshi.
      It's been a while! Thank you!

      I have been thinking that I would like to have one someday,
      The buying process was going on like that,
      To be honest, I was surprised myself (laughs).

      >Now, is this Carrera T a full loan or did you make a down payment of 10%? Or did you prepare a down payment of about 10%?
      Thank you!
      This time, we managed to scrape together a down payment of 4 million yen and paid the remaining 16 million yen with a residual value-setting loan.

      Although there was some there because of asset management,
      That was money I did not intend to spend for decades to come,

      But I had to buy it in the flow,
      I cancelled some of my mutual fund portion, along with a small amount of my savings, and "Olya!" and made a down payment (laughs).

      I believe that when people are cornered, they do something about it (laughs).

      It has been a hot day, Josie, please take care of yourself.

    I am glad to meet you

    Great photo of the Kyoto Tower!
    911 and Kyoto Tower at night, they look good together!

    It will be a few years, but I, for one, am not sure whether to buy a 911 Cabriolet or a Rome Spyder.

    Just now, am I even allowed to buy it? What if I buy it and then run short of funds? I'm in the middle of wondering what I should do if I buy it and then run out of money (laughs).

    I look forward to reading your blog.
