How to buy a Porsche

Which grade and model of Porsche to choose?

My husband is often consulted by others about which grade of Porsche to buy. The other day.How to choose the grade of Porsche. How to organize by use and situation?My husband has always been a fan of the article "The

Porsche is...Higher grade is more satisfactory.This is by no means the case.
Different grades, models, and years have different attractions, so it is important toWhat kind of car do I want to drive this time?I think it is important to choose a Porsche that satisfies your needs.

He said.

And the other day, a car enthusiast I know was asking for advice on purchasing a Porsche, and I was listening to the conversation on the side, so today I would like to write about that.

Replaced a 981 Boxster

That person is.981 Boxster Edition (PDK)I had the chance to see it once. I had a chance to see it once, and it was really cool with its jed black body color and black-based specifications.

981 Boxster Edition

One of the reasons this person purchased the 981 Boxster Edition was because of her husband's 981 Boxster GTS.

A few years ago, when I had the pleasure of riding in the passenger seat of

What is that amazing engine sound! It's so amazing! If I were alone right now, I would be screaming my head off!

He was so impressed that he later purchased a 981 Boxster.

Porsche Boxster GTS (981)

After taking delivery of the car, he has been participating in Porsche driving school, riding to work everyday, touring, and so on.The mileage will soon reach 80,000 km.(WOW!)

Recently, the engine has been blowing up better than before and is in very good condition, and he says it is very fun to drive, but since it has been a few years since he bought it, he says, "I'm very happy with it.It's time for me to drive a different Porsche, preferably with a manual transmission. I would like to drive a higher grade Porsche.The situation was "a bit of a mess," he said.

And now you're considering buying a 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 MT, so you're thinking about buying a 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 MT."What do you think?and my husband asked me a question.

My husband is a

Well.... Mr. XX is currently driving a 981, which is now in very good condition and he is satisfied with it, so I think that he would be more satisfied with a NA engine Porsche.
As for the 718GTS4.0, I had the chance to drive it and found it to be a high-performance car with a solid chassis and easy to drive.This would be fun anywhere from around town to touring!I thought, "I'll take the 718. As for speed and performance, the 718 is definitely superior, but XX, you are particularly concerned about sound, aren't you?
If that is the case, I think you will be more satisfied with the engine sound, which can be played in a wide range of tones, up to a high note, depending on the rpm.
If that is the case, I think the 981 with the current 2.7L engine is suitable for me, and if I were to replace it, I think I would be more satisfied with a higher grade 981 Boxster or a 991 early model 911........ Also, MT is fun, but PDK is nice because you can enjoy the "bong" sound when shifting up, so I want to get a PDK these days.

He said.

In response, the person said, "I see...I guess I'm just asking for something I don't have after all...lolHe said, "I would like to hear more about what you will buy afterwards.

Is Targa good for me?

Incidentally, I have also recently been working on a "If I buy a Porsche in the future...I often talk with my husband about "theWhat do you think is right for me?I asked.

I think 911 Targa would be a good idea. I've been hearing that a lot.I want to drive a car that not many people drive.I'm saying that, and the Targa is so cool because it's rarely driven in the city and it's so cool.
As for its use, you don't go touring like an idiot like I do, do you? It is mainly for daily use, with occasional long-distance runs, highway driving, going for a ride in Ashiu... I think you will enjoy it very much in any situation.
I'm sure the freeway is a very elegant and comfortable place to drive. It would be so cool to see a woman in a bright red Targa.

He said.

911 Targa...sure is really cool.Porsche, which I have been secretly longing for for a long time.It is. Okay, I'll do my best!

I'm a little premature, though, as my MT car I ordered in April hasn't arrived yet....

    Nice to meet you, my name is KA.
    This is the first time I am commenting on this consultation, in case it is of any help to you.
    I too am looking for a pleasant sound for my car first and foremost.
    I am currently driving a Boxster GTS 4.0 MT and after watching Mina's 981 Boxster engine sound video, I was quite excited about the sound as it is an NA 6 cylinder, but unfortunately it was not very satisfactory for me.
    Even with the sport exhaust on, the valve closes once at about 1600 rpm and the sound is much quieter.
    Beyond that, it still sounds like a six-cylinder and is just about satisfactory.
    At around 5000 rpm, a squeal-like sound begins to emerge, which is a little promising, but from 6000 rpm onward, the high sound is drowned out by a low booming sound, which is very disappointing.
    With the sport exhaust off, you cannot hear the sound from 4800 rpm, which is also disappointing.
    In the end, I can't hear the piercing, pleasing sound of the video in GTS 4.0, and I'm willing to let it go.
    If you have any tips on how to make it sound better, please let us know! Please let us know if you have any tips or tricks!

      Thank you for your comment!

      The sound of a car's engine is very important...
      I feel that this is a factor that has a significant impact on driving comfort.

      > If you do this, you'll get a better sound! If you have any tips, please let me know!
      I asked my husband about it.
      The 981GTS and the 718GTS have different engines, so they don't sound the same, unfortunately.
      The 981 has a wide range of sound, and as the RPMs rise, it sensuously resonates from low to pleasant highs, but
      It's true that the 718's overall range is low, so I don't hear the same sound as the 981..."
      He said.
      Sorry, I hope I have answered your question....please do not hesitate to contact me.

    I always enjoy looking at your site.
    Even if you contact the dealer, the reply will be different, so please let me know if you know.
    If I buy a Porsche certified used car in Tokyo and ride it in Osaka, can I buy it in Tokyo for maintenance?
    I have a car I want in another prefecture, but I'm afraid I can't buy it if I can't take care of it.
    Also, does Porsche rub the bottom considerably to get over the steps? I'm scared of garages and sidewalks.
    We apologize for the inconvenience.

      > If I buy a Porsche certified used car in Tokyo and ride it in Osaka, can I buy it in Tokyo for maintenance?
      I asked my husband about it.
      "If you do a certified used car, you should be able to get maintenance at a dealer in Tokyo or Osaka.
      I bought a used 911 in another prefecture, but I was told that it could be seen at a local dealer and that it would have an extended warranty.
      Depending on the dealer and whether you have had a relationship in the past, the response may change a little, but basically any certified used car should be okay.
      If you refuse, I think you shouldn't go out with such a dealer. "
      He said.

      > Does Porsche rub the bottom considerably to get over the steps? I'm scared of garages and sidewalks.
      If it's a normal model, you don't have to worry about it. Even so, when I enter a convenience store, I slowly enter at an angle, but ...
      However, unless it is a special model with a low vehicle height such as GT3 or GT4, I have the impression that if it is a normal model, you do not have to worry about steps and slopes ^ ^

    Thank you for your kindness.
    I am burning for the first Porsche purchase, but
    The local Porsche center feels cold even if I inquire, and if there is a car I like, should I contact the Porsche center directly, or ask the local to purchase it for business sales, I am worried about that is.
    Actually, when I inquired about the steps in the garage, it's been 10 days now, but I haven't received a reply.
    The answer from my husband was quicker and more helpful.
    thank you very much.
    Originally, it takes 3 to 4 days to reply, so I feel like I don't want to buy it here, but I'm wondering if I should put up with it because of maintenance.
    Due to this influence, I see certified used cars in Kobe, Kita Osaka and Himeji every day.
    I'm looking forward to blogging from now on.
    Thank you for your time.
