I recently signed a contract for a Porsche 911 in the body color of... crayon!

How to buy a Porsche

911 Body Color

The other day.I signed up for 911.I wrote an article about this.

Since the blog was launched, we've been working on aMy goal is to one day buy a Porsche with my own money."wrote, and I received many messages from readers.

Some of you have been reading this blog since its early days, and you may have noticed that the "I've been reading this blog for a long time.I'm as happy as I am!Some of them even said, "I am so happy to be here. Thank you for your warmth. Thank you very much.

I can't give you the detailed model name or specifications yet.What body color did you choose?I wish I could tell you about the

Why did you choose Crayon's Porsche 911?

As the title of the blog says, the body color was chosen to be "crayon". So, here we go.The body colors that were on the shortlist and why they chose Crayola."I would like to write about

(1) Gerd's Red

."Hey, didn't Mina always say before that she was going to buy a bright red Porsche?You may be thinking, "What's the point of this?

In fact, from the delusional level stage, "If I were buying...and long-time "gersted" configurations.

Porsche 911

Also, when looking at 911s on CarSensor, I checked red as the body color in my search, and my current car, a Swissport, also has a red body color.

However... when it comes to really buying, I still have to be realistic about resale and many other things.I really hope it's red...I began to feel lost," he said.

I may own it for a long time, but I may have to sell it. There is a possibility that I might actually buy it, but not be able to maintain it and have to sell it.Considering the resale, I wonder if red is the way to go....
That said, if I don't choose the red color I've always admired, will I regret it later..."

And.

I have often heard people say, "In Japan, many people choose white or black as the body color of their cars. ButIf it's a sports car, why not choose a more vivid color?I was so scared when it came time to buy one myself (sorry...).

I now have a deep respect for those who buy a vividly colored Porsche. w

(2) Jet Black Metallic

Considering resale, it's still a good idea to consider "black and white or black and white.and then Jet Black Metallic was selected.

Porsche 911

Sure, it's cool no matter how you look at it.

However, I also thought that the atmosphere of a Porsche driven by a woman might be diminished. I thought, "I'd like to see aThat said, it's cool and would be a good resale.and sent the config to Mr. H, the PC manager, in Jet Black Metallic, and received this reply.

I thought it was going to be red. I was sure you would choose red...so I emailed you to confirm.

And.

."Eh! When you say it like that, I still say red!" My heart was shaken again, and once I was back in the gars red, I went back to the w

(iii) Crayons

Later, my husband happened to have the opportunity to test drive a 911 for a Porsche owner he knew. And when he came home, his first words were like this.

I knew a crayon 911 would be so cool! My GT3 was a crayon, so I was thinking that the next 911 to come to my house would be a crayon too, so I thought red would be okay...But I still think the crayons are unquestionably cool!
Crayons would be good for resale, and it's so cool to see a woman driving a Crayon 911!"

And.

Porsche 911

So my mind was stirred again, and when I was shown actual photos and confirmed by the configurations, the crayons were still very cool.

And even though I had so much trouble with it, I don't know why I was so worried about it.Ah, crayons.After a few rounds, the body color was finally decided to be crayon.

Looking back, it was something very strange.


When we get to the stage where we can tell you more, we hope to introduce the model and specifications on our blog.

    Hello Mina.
    I'm glad to see that you are making steady progress.
    You can't go wrong with crayons!
    It's the body color of my dreams!
    Our Macan was Miami Blue, our 981 Boxster was Guards Red (maybe), and the 991.1 Carrera s Cabriolet to be delivered was White, but we painted it all Jet Green Metallic, the factory color, for a flashy color lineup (lol).
    After all, flashy colors lift the mood, so if you change your mind, why not have a wrapping that won't affect resale?
    I look forward to your report on the delivery of the car...

      Thank you!
      Yes, I made it into crayons!

      >My Macan was Miami Blue, my 981 Boxster was Guards Red (maybe), and the 991.1 Carrera s Cabriolet to be delivered was White, but all painted in the factory color, Jet Green Metallic!
      That's great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's on the attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      They are so cool! This lineup is just like a sports car! ^^^^^^^^.

      There may be wrapping, etc. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.
      I hope to be able to report on the delivery of the car soon.
      Thank you for your continued support!

    Hello.

    I'm looking forward to Crayon's 911.

    I had consulted with you before when I was torn between a GTS or a GT3. Thank you very much for your help on that occasion.

    That GTS is now on board and will be delivered around March. 1 year and 9 months wait.
    The color was Ice Gray Metallic, a new color recommended by the sales person in charge, since the original silver color was changed to the production quota for the 23rd model year.
    I can't even find a picture of it yet, but since it was an exclusive color for Taikan, I had the actual Taikan Crayon and Ice Gray Metallic cars side by side to decide. Personally, I prefer it to crayon.
    It looks silver in the configurator, but it is a very nice color. The color changes with place and time. Also, it is metallic, so it looks luxurious. 911 has a video of the GT3RS Ice Gray Metallic publicity car, but the GT3RS has a large addition to the body that makes it difficult to get an image of it.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Thank you for everything.
      GTS, I see you're taking delivery in March!

      I am very much looking forward to the long-awaited delivery of my car!

      Ice Gray Metallic, yes, I've seen it on Taikan.
      It's a deep silver, very cool!

      It's not just a silver, it's a color with depth and luxury.
      I imagine a 911 GTS in that color would be so cool for sure!

      I would be very happy to see your pictures when you deliver the car again.
      Thank you for your continued support!

    Dear Mina

    Crayons, lovely... ♪
    Sports car is crayon good.

    My Macan S was recently welcomed.
    The color is Copper Ruby Metallic.
    It is also a twisted thing that I stopped looking at the Macan in the car0ncer because it is full of crayons.

    I like the color, but it doesn't photograph well...
    (Almost almost black in the picture lol)
    I think crayons are good for complementing cars both in nature and in the city.

    Looking forward to it.
    No, but there is also, at the end of the day, after all.
    Because it's my car, handsome.
    It's fun when you're struggling, isn't it?

      Thank you!
      I had a hard time deciding and decided to go with crayon ^^;

      If I could have more than one, I'd want a red, bright model, too.
      I have been thinking about it.

      Copper ruby metallic!!!!
      Is that a new color!!!!
      The color is so beautiful! It's wonderful!

    Hello, Hiro and Mina.

    Have you finally started having trouble with the configurator?
    (It's a magical software, isn't it? The quoted price goes up and up and up before you know it... (Polish Polish) )

    Crayon, a color that has been on my mind a bit lately.

    Originally I never order a new car, so I have no hesitation, but if it were me... I might not be able to decide. (Polish Polish)

    That said, in reality, it is a good choice because of its resale value and ease of maintenance.

    In fact, I am having a hard time keeping up because of Midnight Blue.
    (I have no idea how many times I have bothered the polishers because I use pure water to wash the car because of the water stains...)

    Anyway, please enjoy choosing the most fun car now. (^^)d

    • Mina.Mina.

      hiro-san (Japanese brand of haloperidol)
      That's right! Before you know it, the quoted price is going up and up and up...
      In the end, they become completely numb to money, saying, "If it's only a few tens of thousands of yen, I'll leave it on.

      Midnight Blue Metallic, my favorite color.
      It has a luxurious feel and a mature Porsche atmosphere.
      But it sure looks like a lot of work to keep it clean... ^^..;

      I hope to be able to tell you all about it soon!

    Dear Mina
    Congratulations on your Crayon contract. I feel that you can share the excitement of waiting for the delivery of your car.
    Initially, the texture was unfamiliar to those born in the 1950s, but recently I've been liking what I'm seeing, and it's a color I'd consider next time.
    I've only driven Agate Gray 911s so far, including the current GT3TP, but I think it's a little too plain for old people.
    Thanks to your help, the 992GT3TP had its third oil change last week at 10,500 km. It is said that this is probably the highest mileage car of this model in Japan. I am enjoying driving this car by balancing between enjoyment and severity.
    But I am also slightly envious of the 911 crayon, which is a bit softer.
    We wish you continued good health and success in your future endeavors.                 Coffee on the Plateau

    • Mina.Mina.

      Thank you!
      Finally, we are one step closer to achieving our goal.

      The time spent waiting for the delivery of the car is exciting as the realization gradually grows.

      Agate gray is definitely cool.
      My husband's 911 is also Agate Gray, and I'd like to grow up to be an adult who looks good in such an austere Porsche.
      I think about it every time I see it.

      >I am enjoying the ride by balancing between enjoyment and severity.

      Thank you, too, for all the information you've shared with us!
      Thank you for your continued support!

    It has been a while.
    It's been a while since I've seen it.
    I'm ordering 911!
    I was surprised.

    When I read the article, even I, a terminal reader, smiled and wondered if it wasn't red.
    The influence of one word from your husband lol.

    Our family will finally take delivery of the Targa 4S next month.
    Porsche, like Ferrari, finally has an app for delivery process delivery, but
    The system is superior to Ferrari's because it is a latecomer, and the process from the start of production to completion and shipment is not much different from Ferrari's. After that, even after getting on the ship, we can use GPS to know where the ship is currently at sea, which is very exciting, including the process of coming to Japan.
    This week we were passing through the Suez Canal.

    It has been a long time since I have been up to Ashiu, but I look forward to seeing you again.

      Yes it is lol!
      Finally, I ordered a 911.

      Red, it was really cool, but
      Influenced by my husband's words, I made it into a crayon (laughs).

      Good thing I have the app to see what's going on!

      >My family will finally take delivery of the Targa 4S next month.
      Oh that's so cool!!! So you can get a Targa production quota or something, wow!
      Yes, I look forward to seeing you again in Ashiu!

    Mina.

    Haven't seen you in a while, and congratulations on your order!
    Well, if you buy it, you can manage, maybe;
    If you are satisfied with the color and specifications yourself, then you have no problem.
    Let's drive the car of your choice!
    I've never cared about resale because in my case I would ride it out.

    Somewhere in an article I read that once a production quota is in place, it is now possible to see the manufacturing process of your car in Japan, so I think it would be a good idea to ask your PC representative about this.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Nak acid
      Thank you!
      I was worried at first that I wouldn't be able to maintain it, but now I'm thinking, "It's just going to be what it will be.

      They're being bought without regard to resale... great!
      I hope to be able to buy boldly like that in the future!

      Yes, now you can see the car manufacturing process, etc.!
      I got an email out of the blue from Porsche, and when I looked at it, I saw that the deadline to change the final specs was just a few days away.
      I was in a great hurry ^^;

    Dear Mina

    I always enjoy looking at your site.
    Congrats on your 911 deal! You can't go wrong with Crayon. It's a popular color and you don't have to worry too much about taking care of it.
    I also ordered a 911, bare-bones Carrera last August. The color is a very flashy shark blue.
    It is said that the delivery time will take two years and possibly minor changes.
    Depending on the specifications, Mima, you may also have a very long delivery time.
    Well, the longer it takes, the longer the excitement is, the better.
    We are both looking forward to the delivery of the car.

    Hello.

    The production schedule listed is said to be quite lax.
    It seems that it is better to check with the PC, especially for order deadlines, etc.

    Congratulations on your purchase of Crayon 911!
    I also took delivery of my first Porsche six months ago.
    Crayon 911.

    Most of my car history has been white or black, and I've been driving before.
    The M4 and the M3 I had before that were white.

    Body color that goes well with black wheels for a candidate color other than white for 911.
    I narrowed down several candidates and finally came up with Crayon.

    Looking forward to your delivery!

    The crayon is a very nice color.

      Crayon 911...!
      Black and white are both cool, but crayons have a different charm.

      In fact, I'm looking forward to seeing my car delivered to me.
      I'm really looking forward to it now!
      Please take over!
