I have previously published an article titled "When I go to a luxury car dealer for the first time, should I call and make an appointment?I wrote an article titled "The process of buying a new product," which was unexpectedly popular, so this time I would like to delve a little deeper and talk about the purchasing stage.
Recently, it has become possible to simulate options and packages on the Web even for domestic cars, but for luxury imported cars, the options are much more complex and various. By selecting patterns, it is possible to create an astronomical number of specifications that are almost unique in the world.
My husband usually and often that configurator.(You can select specifications and options for the model, simulate the exterior and interior to your liking, and get an estimate.)on the Internet. I was recently asked to write a letter to the "I know it's fun, but why do you have to do so many configurations?I said, "I'm sorry.
Yes, it's fun to imagine.I think it's pretty important to simulate the configurator on a regular basis.In.
In fact, in my case, as far as the GT3 Touring is concerned, one day I got a call from the dealer out of the blue and said, "Hey, I've got a GT3 Touring.If you come to the store now and decide right away, we can order.I was told, "I've got to do this," and I came up with the specs in about 30 minutes. But I was able to do that because I usually use the configurator for simulations. Without that, I don't think I would have been able to decide so quickly.
And. Indeed, with respect to the GT3 Touring
Body color is crayon
Putting on the PCCB
Black specification with black logo, window frames, and taillights
Select the Leather Package and Adaptive Sport Seat Plus to have the interior stitching in the same crayon as the exterior color.(forced to choose)
Automatic windshield wipers and automatic anti-dazzle function for the purpose.
Seat belts are silver gray.
Satin platinum wheels
The specifications had been quite detailed, such as, at the time, "How could you make such a decision in 30 minutes?", my husband wrote earlier.Thanks to the usual configurations.He said.
But I understand that.Why it is better to do a configurator even when you visit a Porsche dealer for the first time...I asked my husband about that again.
When I bought my first Porsche (Boxster), I did some configurator before my first visit to the store. I think it's quicker to talk, you can ask pinpoint questions, and you're less likely to regret the specs later on. Having said that.I should have put that thing on!I still have some regrets," he said.
And. I see...
What else should I be aware of when visiting a luxury car dealer like Porsche for the first time? Then my husband would
I know, right?Book a Test RideI wonder. For example, in the case of Porsche, it is quite common that there are no test-drive cars available for the model you want to test-drive. Not all models are available for test drive, so if you want to test drive a car, I think it is better to make an appointment for test drive and check the availability of test drive cars before you go there.
He said.
Indeed. When I used to go to the dealership and wait on a table, the store called me and the staff said, "00.Unfortunately, we do not have a test drive available at this time....I heard the response, "I'm sorry.
When I asked if there was anything else to take care of, my husband had this to say.
Sometimes, when I go to a high-end import car dealer for a business meeting, I am surprised to find that theI see people being arrogant to shoppers.There are times when I don't think that's a good idea though. It may be an expensive purchase for me, but that doesn't make it easy for me to demand excessive service or special treatment.
The dealers have higher and higher end customers.Dealership staff deal with such customers on a daily basis. If they come to the dealership for the first time and are arrogant, they will not have a good relationship with the customers later on.
I also sometimes say, "If you buy that many Porsches, you're bound to get a slot in the GT3 Touring.I'm still a newcomer to the market, and I haven't bought many units at all.
Incidentally, my brother is a big Ferrari enthusiast, and when I asked him about Ferrari, he told me that it is much clearer than that and that there is a kind of customer rank.If you suddenly go to a store and say, "Please give me 488," you will not be able to buy it first.We need to move up that rank, starting with used purchases or something like that.
He said.
I see...sure. Sometimes my husband's acquaintance, who is a "Hey, I haven't bought 7 or 8 cars this year alone!Some people say, "I'm a good person," but I am reminded that there are higher-ups, and many of these people seem to be softer and nicer than others.
."Is there anything else?I asked.(You're still asking, aren't you?)
I know... this is something I mentioned in a previous article, but I think it's worth mentioning.Buy with cash or take out a loan.It's called..."Buying a luxury car such as a Porsche is a one-time cash purchase.I think many people have the image of "I'm a good person. I thought so too.
So many of you may think I can't afford it yet because I haven't saved enough to buy it in one lump sum.I think I'd rather buy with a loan.Wa.
Well, I can't say this in general, because everyone has a different way of thinking about it.
And. Indeed, our dealer representative, Mr. H., also said, "Everyone buys quite a bit on loan.I was once surprised when he said, "I was surprised. However, he said, "If I buy with a loan, isn't it a loss because the interest rate is added to the loan and the total payment is higher?I have asked her before, "What do you mean?" to which her husband replied.
In my opinion, cash flow and liquidity on hand are the key factors to consider.Better to keep the cash on hand, even if it pays interest.I guess. Well, that's what you can do.Porsche is less priced than other manufacturers.I'm not sure how long it would take to get a loan, though. So I think it's a good idea to take out as long a loan as you can and keep your monthly cash outlay down.
If you can keep cash on hand, you can manage your assets with it, and you can have peace of mind in terms of cash flow in case of emergencies.
And. I see. I used to think "If I wanted to buy a Porsche myself, I'd have to save up over 10 million yen before I could afford it, which sounds daunting.I had been thinking, "I'd like to get a loan," but when I heard about the loan, I thought, "That could be a realistic goal.
My husband adds.
However, there are differences between the Mercedes-Benz and BMW classes and the Porsche and Ferrari classes, so it would be interesting to write an article considering those differences.
so I would like to discuss that again.
