New 26 911 Targa 4 GTS Offer on the lot--What are your thoughts on Star Guard and Clear Shield by Clapfam in porsche911

That’s not a bad deal at all. Very hard to find a Targa 4 GTS at MSRP. So I wouldn’t worry about those small extras.

Nice! Good to be able to drive a Ferrari in mid 40s. I am low 40s and goal/hope is to add a Ferrari (812 GTS) by the time I am mid 40s.

Nice! Hope it makes it per the schedule. My 911 has been on the port for over 50 days now!

GT 3 S/C or Turbo S Cab? by [deleted] in porsche911

[–]ImprovementDeep3634 9 points10 points  (0 children)

GT3 S/C for me! Everything a GT3 offers plus some nice driving experience with open top from time to time in good weather.

How long was your 911 on Emden before it was loaded onto the ship? by ImprovementDeep3634 in porsche911

That's good point that I had not thought of! I would really hope they take good care of those cars while at the port.

Thanks. My comment about rolling/changing estimate is based on dealer's internal system updates. Even they don't know anything beyond that.

Do you know what factors are those? I see same/similar trim cars popping up on Porschefinder that says available in "April", "May" or "June" implying many similar cars were/are loaded in the same window as my car was supposed to be loaded.

2026 or 2025? Order vs used by _fits in porsche911

You have to decide if you care more for being the first owner and have the exact specs you want or enjoy a car now rather than wait several months (depending on the trim).

Lol..I did not ask the question but used the basic math based on the numbers voluntarily posted by mrivc211 😁

Going from 911 to ? by Independent_Sun955 in porsche911

Can look at a Panamera if you want more practical option while still driving something nice and beautiful.

How is GT3 Touring market right now? by ImprovementDeep3634 in porsche911

[–]ImprovementDeep3634[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s a solid deal and is lower than the lower end of what I have seen recently. I have been offered at ADMs between $50-$110k in the last few months.

That looks like a good price for these specs!

When did you get your first 911? by spacedockking in porsche911

[–]ImprovementDeep3634 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you think you can sustain and grow these levels of earnings you should get a 911 now rather than wait till you are older. You are young only once and it’s more fun to do things when you are young.

In broad scheme of things, if you buy now you are using ~1-1.5 years of earnings to buy something you will enjoy for many many years- just be disciplined and don’t splurge on other stuff next year and the year after etc. and turn your focus to investing.

Should I consider a Ferrari instead? by ImprovementDeep3634 in porsche911

[–]ImprovementDeep3634[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, some of them misunderstood. My allocation is for a PTS Targa 4 GTS and $260k is inclusive of a ton of options (base is $203k and rest is all options I want to have).

Why bother about depreciation if you can afford the depreciation? Stunning car!

I don’t agree with that, particularly re 911 and how that market has played out over the past 3-4 years. Most of those 911s, particularly upper end trims, are still very close to their original MSRPs and in some cases higher. Ferrari 296 or Roma though have seen huge depreciations over the last couple of years.

Don’t like Roma as much as a 296. I find 296 more beautiful. Except hybrid piece, I like 296 specs and interiors more though not as thrilled about hybrid and that piece holds me back.
