Porsche Panamera Options – Not Related to Driving but Very Convenient

Rewriting Past Articles About a week ago, I finally got around to rewriting past articles (usually rewriting means someone else’s article is rephrased without changing the content, but in this case, I’m revising articles I wrote myself in the past). This blog has some popular articles with lots of traffic, but past articles are also frequently read every day. However, especially the articles from when I first started the blog were nowhere near presentable… Originally,...

What Makes a Customer “Disliked” or “Liked” by a Dealer Salesperson?

An Experience at an Imported Car Dealer This happened a little while ago. My husband received a call from an imported car dealer (not Porsche) inviting him to “come for a test drive”. When he went for the test drive, he was seated at a table, and when the salesperson stepped away to get some materials, a well-dressed man in his 40s sat near my husband’s table. My husband thought, “He looks very put-together. Maybe...

Panamera GTS Now Offers a “2+1” Rear Seat Option!?

Panamera GTS On October 16th last month, Porsche finally announced the new Panamera GTS. I thought, “It’s about time I try the configurator” (not that I’m buying, just daydreaming), so I checked the Porsche Japan site, but the Panamera GTS was still listed as “Price TBD” and the configurator wasn’t available yet. (As of November 16, 2018) What a bummer… *Image source: Porsche Japan Panamera GTS Models But since I was already in the mood...

“How Can I Buy a Porsche?” I Asked My Husband This Simple Question

I Want a Porsche! My husband drives his Porsche on the Royu Driveway a few times a month, and one day he was asked this question by some young people at the lookout point. I want a Porsche too, but how can I actually buy one? They said. This question is definitely interesting, and since I’m currently pursuing the goal of buying a Porsche myself (lol), I asked my husband, “How can someone actually buy...

Which Is More Worthwhile When Buying a Porsche 911: MT or AT? An Analysis Based on Data

Which Is More Worthwhile: MT or AT? “If you’re buying a 911 with resale value in mind, which is more worthwhile, MT or AT?” That’s what my husband recently looked into. However, since “manually checking each piece of information one by one is time-consuming and tedious,” he wrote a program to automatically pull used 911 sales data from Car Sensor and convert it into usable data. (Since he works in IT, he said it only...

Essential and Unnecessary Porsche Options? – A Husband’s Take on Buying a Boxster GTS

The Problem of Too Many Porsche Options While browsing the official Porsche website to check out the 911 specs, I couldn’t help but notice how many options you can choose from when buying a Porsche. Of course, it’s great to be able to add everything you want, but the option costs alone can easily top 4 million yen, so that’s not always realistic. Plus, it’s a waste if you add something and later think, “I...

Should You Care About Your Watch, Outfit, or Car When Visiting a Luxury Car Dealer Like P...

Are Luxury Car Dealers Intimidating? When browsing the internet, you often see things like “Luxury car dealers are hard to enter” or “They check your watch, so it’s better not to wear a cheap one”. Some even say “If you go to a Maserati dealer in a T-shirt and jeans, you’ll get a really nasty look.” > Seriously, isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration? (laughs) It feels like these rumors have taken on a...

Visited the Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair! Inside the showroom and novelty goods.

Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair Yesterday, I went to the “Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair” held at the Porsche Center. It was also a good chance to get an oil change before heading to Fuji Speedway on June 16th and 17th. (I plan to write a separate article later about the oil change cost and details.) And honestly, I also wanted the novelty luncheon mat (lol). *Source: Porsche 70th Anniversary page I was planning to go alone...

The Biggest Reason Husbands Face Opposition from Wives When Buying a Porsche

Sharing a Car Hobby as a Couple I often receive comments and messages on my blog, many of which say things like “I’m jealous that you and your spouse share a car hobby.” It makes me wonder, “Are most wives really not interested in cars?” …Until about three years ago, I had absolutely no interest in cars. In fact, I used to think, “Cars are such a luxury, totally unnecessary in life! Spending money on...
