How to buy a Porsche

I often see the words "My life has changed for the better since I drove a Porsche.I often hear this story from readers of this blog and from my close Porsche friends. I often hear this from readers of this blog and from my close Porsche friends.

I would like to write about my thoughts on this matter, including my own experience.

Conclusion.Some people buy a Porsche and their lives change for the better, others don't.(Well, of course...)

As a young businessman, I, too, was a "Buy a Porsche, it will change your life, increase your income and make you successful!I was thinking that way in no small part because I was thinking, 'I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

But in hindsight, life was not so sweet as to turn around simply because I bought a Porsche.

So, why is it that'What do some people have in common that turns their lives around after (or even before) they buy a Porsche and others don't?' "What do people who buy a Porsche and their lives change for the better have in common?"

I would like to write about it as we discuss it.

Ability to make decisions and act outside the box.

This was before I bought my Porsche...

Porsche is, needless to say, an expensive automobile. New and used Porsches are, of course, much more expensive than other types of cars, and if you want to maintain them properly, maintenance costs are quite high. They are also hard to drive, cannot accommodate a large number of people, and are less fuel-efficient than regular cars.

Porsche is only a luxury item.

It is a very hobbyist car, and from the standpoint of practicality, minivans and eco-cars are many times better.

People around you may object that it is a waste of money, they may even envy you. Also, "theCan I really afford to pay such a high price or take out a loan?and himself may hesitate to do so.

Because he overcomes such obstacles, persuades others, and tries to buy a car that is more expensive than others, he has a stronger determination and ability to act than others.

This power isAn important element that is very necessary for success.I think.

Focus on earning more rather than saving

I think that saving from your current salary to buy a Porsche is the right way to go. Also, in Japan, there is a tendency to think that saving money is a virtue, so if you want to buy something, you should first think of "I want to buy a Porsche" and then "I want to buy a Porsche.savingI am often conscious of "the

But I'm more than just about saving money.It's far more important to take action to increase the money you're making now.I think.

In fact, Porsche (cars) cost a lot of money even after purchase. Insurance premiums, maintenance fees, ETC fees, gasoline, taxes, vehicle inspections, and other monthly expenses are sure to increase.

When I was a salaried worker, there was a time when I lived alone and had to struggle to maintain the car I had at the time.Even if you manage to save enough money to buy it, it's harder to keep it up afterwards.I realized firsthand that "the

So, to live a car life and enrich your life with Porsche, you need toIt is important to switch to a mindset of earning more moneyAnd I think that the majority of people who have actually bought a Porsche and are turning their lives around are often of this mindset.

."Earn more to keep the Porsche I have now without problems."Grow more to be someone worthy of Porsche.It is because they are aware of the fact that they are serious about earning money and taking action that buying a Porsche will lead them to change their lives for the better.

I don't set an upper limit for my income.

A senior manager once told me, "How much money do you want to make in the future?At that time, I was aiming for the amount of money that is considered successful in the world, but unfortunately, my annual income at that time did not go up much.

that is,"I had set my own ceiling.I think."

Unconsciously, "theI can't make more than that amount.In the end, I didn't even make my target annual income because I put the implication on myself that "I'm not a good person.

But once I started to understand how to make some money, I said, "You know what?Oh? This could be so much more if I wanted it to be, couldn't it?I think my income has steadily increased since I began to think naturally, "I can do this," and in this way I removed the upper limit and stopped setting my own ceiling.

In fact, I've been around.When I look at Porsche drivers, many of them have a genuine desire to grow, without setting an upper limit or ceiling for their income.

It's not, "I can only go so far."

"I have a car I want, so I'll make more money," "I'm driving a Porsche, so I'll behave and earn as I should," "I'll learn from the owners around me, so I can improve myself."in the manner that ...

They are taking what is good, absorbing it, putting it into practice, and pushing forward on the path to further success.

Actively join the circle of Porsche owners and successful people.

If you've gone to the trouble of purchasing a Porsche.Put yourself in a community where you can meet people through Porsche, interact with people who are considered successful, and learn and absorb from them.I believe that this will further improve our lives.

I mentioned earlier that we don't set a limit with respect to annual income, but we are forced to.Don't set your own upper limit; aim for a higher annual income."It is not always easy to get things right, even if you think it is.

Because subconsciously, theIt's a ridiculously high goal for me, I can't do it right now, I can'tThe reason is that I have put the implication on myself that I am not a good person.

quite naturallyI can imagine myself reaching great heights."It is important to do so, and in order to do so, it is necessary to place oneself in the circle of successful people and raise one's own standards of what is normal.

I've been interacting with Porsche owners since I bought my Porsche, and with all of you, I've been able to say, "You know what?I'm still like a new employee. That means I can go higher and higher, too.I am able to think in the way of "I am a good person.


The above is a brief summary of the considerations.

Not everyone who buys a Porsche will necessarily turn their lives around, but "People with the above commonalities buy a Porsche and change their lives for the better.I think it means "I am a good person.

    I really think that is true. I also bought a Porsche at a young age, which allowed me to go back and own an air-cooled Porsche, or drive a newer model without taking out a loan. In other words, I think my annual income increased significantly and my position in the company rose as well.

      Hello, Mackie.

      Glad you agree ^^.
      You step out, you buy a Porsche, and you keep it.
      I believe that your awareness of the need to go to a higher level has created the environment that we are in today.
      That's fantastic!

    Hello. - Hello.
    I enjoy reading your blog.

    Selling my R35 and other domestic sports cars and buying a 991.2 GT3 to change my life? I'm a person who is trying to change my life!

    I am currently considering a vehicle, but even if I find a good one online, I am always concerned about the mileage and whether it is a Porsche Center or not!
    I think that there are many good stores that are not Porsche Center if the company is doing a good job, but I can't help thinking that the mileage is only 10,000 km or that I should buy it at Porsche Center, and I can't make up my mind. However, I can't make up my mind to buy it at a Porsche Center.

    We would be very happy to hear your personal opinion as you have test-driven and purchased many Porsches!

      Hello Driscoll, I am very happy to hear from you.

      Yes, I too would prefer a Porsche Center if possible. I think it is better to go to a Porsche Center if possible, because that way I don't have to worry about unnecessary hassles.
      Having said that, I bought my 991GTS from a regular used dealer.
      Points to look at are record books and tires.
      The record book will tell you if the car has been serviced by a dealer, and if the tires are approved tires (don't be stingy here or put on cheap sport tires that are only for grip).
      The presence of any strange wear and tear is an important point that can predict to some extent how the unit has been used.
      Mileage should be the lowest priority checkpoint. I have driven many Porsches, and the engine is not yet accustomed at around 10,000 km. 30,000 or 50,000 km is when it really comes into its own.
      As for durability, if you look at the famous wata-san's Boxster blog, you will see that it is running 200,000 km without any problem at all, and Porsche engines are very robust (low mileage cars are rather suspect). (I am rather suspicious of low mileage cars)

     Thank you for your thoughtful response.
     He has bought many used domestic sports cars, but this is his first time to buy a foreign car, so he is a little bit scared.
     Very helpful.
