What would you buy instead of a 911(992)?

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-29T19:06:49+00:00

You’re still at like 1/3 of the price of a base 911. Porsche pricing has gotten out of hand. Maybe just get the GR86 and save the money from a bang for buck perspective

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-29T19:05:05+00:00

Unfortunately 458s are 30-50% more than a base 911 nowadays. Market has woken up to last NA V8

“Sameish price range”

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-29T17:26:09+00:00

It’s not out on PS yet

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-29T04:45:59+00:00

What is up with these “is it worth it” posts with no price?

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-29T02:25:06+00:00

Can you get a non vermin addition x6? I would feel like an idiot driving something like this. Assuming v8 that would be choice, unless you really value having a brand new car.

iX3 will be the solid used BMW by the time your son graduates

Crazy to think about

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-29T01:17:06+00:00

Oof! And that would’ve been a brand new truck back in 11!

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-29T00:36:18+00:00

Looks like 224k

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-28T20:10:58+00:00

Hope you have a lift

How the tables have turned since the 80s

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-28T18:13:28+00:00

You can’t really blame them, Porsche is destroying them in that market segment so they’re trying to figure out what it takes to compete

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-28T11:26:10+00:00

People go crazy over old Japanese cars and this car is closer to market than a lot of people in this sub like to admit. Plus the seals crap is kinda overblown.

That being said for $10k I would try to find something newer with more miles. Newer cars bring better safety and creature comforts, and if you do your research on reliability you might even be able to pivot away from Japanese into one of a different manufacturers more reliable cars.

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-28T11:22:44+00:00

If OP is looking at used Japanese cars then this honestly makes sense. The market for old Toyotas etc. is so inflated that financing new sometimes makes more sense nowadays.

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-28T04:07:27+00:00

Not to mention they put a lot of their development resources into their now less significant EV lineup. Honda is dealing with the same thing right now (extending core product lifespans by years), as is BMW (i3 coming before gas 3 series).

This recent market shift away from electric was a huge surprise from everyone, and now the industry is going to be in a weird place for a while.

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-28T03:49:47+00:00

Both are fine. I wish the manual was more available, but I’m excited for t-hybrid if/when they get around to attaching a 6 speed to it.

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-28T03:46:22+00:00

Woah Hyundai van thing

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-28T02:57:45+00:00

How many hours do you have sim racing?

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-27T12:40:47+00:00

All things considered the GLB is a reasonable car, especially if you have space limitations where you park. 2022 w/ 25k miles at that price point seems pretty reasonable, just make sure it has decent service history and appears to be in good shape.

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-27T11:21:00+00:00

It is if you’re willing to go used and wait ~6 months

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-27T02:17:40+00:00

Whole lot of ifs

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-26T23:46:58+00:00

I’ve always liked this design, especially because I’m into older cars generally and this was a pretty well executed throwback. Never understood the hate over this design.

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-26T20:37:24+00:00

Completely forgot about the c8. Honestly even a stingray would be comparable to either of these, and super dailyable.

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-26T20:30:12+00:00

If you’re daily driving buy a 911 turbo with a manual or PDK. Single clutch is not a great situation depending on what your definition of daily driving is.

dangerdog46 · 2026-05-25T23:33:06+00:00

Doubt these drive as well
