It clocked around 9,500 km. Since it was mainly used around the neighborhood, I drove it almost every day, but the mileage wasn\u2019t very high.<\/p>\n<p>This was the car I found when I was looking for a \u201c<strong>car around 2 million yen budget, fun to drive with a manual transmission, seats five, compact, and easy for daily use<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t fixated on buying new, but when I searched for a used Swift Sport MT on car sites at that time, prices were quite high, and I thought, \u201c<strong>Huh? This is almost the same price as buying new&#8230;<\/strong>\u201d so I decided to buy it new.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a 2021 model, 6-speed MT, 1370cc, with Burning Red Pearl Metallic body color and a black two-tone roof, plus decals on the hood and sides.<\/p>\n<p>Being the first new car I ever purchased, it holds a special place in my heart.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31258\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_0020.jpg\" alt=\"Suzuki Swift Sport\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to this Swift Sport, I went from having zero skill and a strong dislike for rev-matching to doing it naturally, like breathing in and out. If my budget allowed, I\u2019d love to keep it as a second car forever\u2014it\u2019s that good.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sale_Proceeds_Used_for_Carrera_T_Purchase\"><\/span>Sale Proceeds Used for Carrera T Purchase<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The reason I decided to sell the Swift Sport was because <strong>I purchased my first Porsche, a 911 Carrera T<\/strong>. Initially, I planned to take my time selling the Swift Sport (though the plan was to use the sale money as a down payment for the Carrera T).<\/p>\n<p>Since the delivery of the Carrera T seemed delayed, I listed the Swift Sport in early March, thinking it would be fine to sell it around June.<\/p>\n<p>So I didn\u2019t want it to sell too quickly and initially priced it aggressively at 1.89 million yen (market price was about 1.7 million yen).<\/p>\n<p>However, the delivery of the Carrera T was moved up, and I realized, \u201c<strong>If this keeps up, I won\u2019t have the Swift Sport sale funds ready in time for the down payment<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So I cleaned the interior areas that looked dirty in the photos, had the pictures retaken and replaced, and boldly dropped the price by 400,000 yen to 1,498,000 yen. (I think this was the lowest market price at the time, lol.)<\/p>\n<p>I then tweeted that if it didn\u2019t sell by the end of April, I would withdraw the listing and sell through a bulk dealer appraisal, asking for retweets.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"ja\">Price drastically reduced from 1.89 million yen to 1.49 million yen for my 2021 Suzuki Swift Sport (MT) listed on Kababa! Similar listings on Car Sensor are around 1.7 million yen, so this should be a great deal! If it doesn\u2019t sell this month, I\u2019ll withdraw and sell via dealer appraisal. Please RT, I\u2019d be so grateful &#x1f62d;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yekhH2Xvih\">https:\/\/t.co\/yekhH2Xvih<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RT09YPk6Gr\">pic.twitter.com\/RT09YPk6Gr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mina &#8211; Welcome Home, PORSCHE (@Mina_Panamera) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mina_Panamera\/status\/1649671383570583552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to everyone\u2019s help, it finally sold at 1,498,000 yen at the very end of April, and the sale went through smoothly.

I also realized I should have monitored market trends more closely before listing and that it\u2019s crucial to allow plenty of time when selling on Kababa. (Maybe I should have listed it right after New Year\u2019s.)<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a big difference between just hearing about others\u2019 experiences and actually doing it yourself, and I feel this was a valuable experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31260 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/442F612D-FF1A-41D4-8257-90A17CC9E729-640x480-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Suzuki Swift Sport\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Above all, I\u2019m truly grateful for everyone\u2019s retweets.
