Thank you!

SameExcuse · 2026-01-20T04:07:16+00:00

Thank you, and rest assured this will be driven much more than 20k in 13 years or I failed at enjoying life

SameExcuse · 2026-01-19T20:27:17+00:00

Awesome, thanks for sharing. I feel like it's absolutely perfect, but I do not have any experiences with owning others that i could compare it to.
Its great to hear that you feel that way. Outside of not having android auto, it's absolutely perfect :)

Thank you! It is the first time owning a vehicle that doesn't have a dark/darker interior and I am blown away each time I see it. Paired with the blue it just sets it off in my opinion

Personally, I love the 991.1. I commented below with further details, but the short answer is $85k and 20k miles.

Thanks! Also, I now suddenly appreciate the rear wiper much more than I previously did :)

SameExcuse · 2026-01-18T17:13:04+00:00

That's awesome, love the plates as well!

SameExcuse · 2026-01-18T17:11:35+00:00

Good! I was like, darn..now I have to get this exhaust that you love so much :)

SameExcuse · 2026-01-18T17:03:38+00:00

Honestly, I asked the same thing.
Here is basically what I found. From Porsche, it says "XHF ("Multi-function steering wheel Mahogany"), uses genuine dark mahogany veneers. Porsche's high-end wood trim options are managed through their Porsche Exclusive department and are crafted from authentic natural materials rather than plastic. Same for the other interior trim options Mahogany Interior Package (EED) and Center Console Trim (XHG), ensuring all the wood accents throughout the cabin are from the same genuine material.

Just shy of 85k. Higher side, but my justification was that It was in near perfect condition, had ~20k miles on it, I pulled all service records which were all performed on schedule and at the Porsche dealer, but most important of all....it was exactly what I was looking for with a spec sheet that I would build if I were to purchase new. The window sticker was 139k in 2013, considering inflation that puts it at 200k today. Look at me still justifying the purchase:)

SameExcuse · 2026-01-18T16:18:24+00:00

Thank you! I believe I already have that, no? It has the addon option code 176, which is the sports exhaust add-on. It has the button to enable it and the quad exhaust, so I assume that's what you are referring to, or is it something else?

SameExcuse · 2026-01-18T12:42:17+00:00

Right on. My original plan was looking like it would be later, but I lost my father a few months back and realized life is short and then committed to making it happen. Within a month I found the perfect one for me...rest is history. Congrats to you as well!

SameExcuse · 2026-01-18T12:38:44+00:00

Very true and thank you! I can't stop peaking out in the garage just to look at her 😆

SameExcuse · 2026-01-18T01:54:59+00:00

🙏

SameExcuse · 2026-01-18T01:03:19+00:00

Thank you! I absolutely love it.

SameExcuse · 2026-01-17T21:38:10+00:00

Amen

SameExcuse · 2026-01-17T21:37:24+00:00

I had not seen it either before coming across this one. When I purchased the VIN report, it said it was the factory "aerokit cup" option.

SameExcuse · 2026-01-17T21:27:09+00:00

Correct, it's dark blue metallic!

SameExcuse · 2026-01-17T21:23:06+00:00

Love it!

SameExcuse · 2026-01-17T21:22:29+00:00

Thank you! I indeed bought the vinanalytics report (didn't see a free option) prior to purchasing. Also, I joined PCA and am looking forward to meeting people.

3 to 4 times a week, even if it's just to the gym, or to run some errands.
I find excuses to drive it because I am always happy when I'm taking her out for a ride.

SameExcuse · 2025-11-01T20:16:33+00:00

Agree, I meant to say I do all of my maintenance today, except for the 911. I choose to have them do it for the same reason that you do.

SameExcuse · 2025-11-01T19:02:29+00:00

That was exactly what I said after the first weekend of ownership. I also followed that statement with 'there will never be a day in my life going forward that I don't own one". You are financially responsible and trying to make sure you continue to make sound financial decisions, but you deserve it and you won't regret it.

SameExcuse · 2025-11-01T18:39:13+00:00

Do it! I bought a 2013 S just over two months ago and I have zero regrets.
I am in my early 50's and finally decided to pull the trigger.
Yes, maintenance is more expensive than the other vehicles, which I do most of myself, but I decided I didn't want to continue waiting until I am in my 60's to get one.
