Why Do Porsche Owners Buy Their Cars Without Test Driving?

Buying a Porsche Without a Test Drive The other day, I was talking with an acquaintance, and the conversation turned to how I write a Porsche blog and recently bought my long-awaited first Porsche. At that time, they were very surprised to hear that I purchased it without test driving. “What? Isn’t it normal to test drive a car before buying it? And Porsche is such an expensive car—don’t you test drive before buying? Some...

Pre-Delivery Procedures for the Porsche 911 Carrera T The other day, I went to complete the pre-delivery procedures for the 911 Carrera T.
