Rare and precious

Funny enough I have a black manual I was thinking of selling. Not because I don't love the car. 4500 miles. Stock other than DSC. 2019. Lower Fairfield county. If I decide to do it I will list in classifieds. I know a lot of people don't care for black but i love black 911's. Minimal options (but it does have a glass roof), MSRP 110k.

What's next?

I find myself at a crossroads, I love my T but the market is high. I find it tough to veer to another brand after owning Porsche, but the 911's price has inflated significantly. Currently on the fence with a GT4 order. I worry I'll regret it. You could probably list yours for sticker and still be the cheapest manual T for sale anywhere.

Edit: Looking at your sig, it HAS to be a 2020 911 I guess.

don't go to Cayman unless your expectation is it's for the short term. You'll always miss a 911. Always.

You're probably right, and my wife and other Porsche people think I'm crazy. The non-Porsche people I've asked say "go for it, a brand new Porsche for no extra money" - but I am leaning towards keeping it. The rarity of the T and lack of huge wing is probably the deciding factor for me. Though, a shark blue GT4 I'm sure would be fun, I just would hate scraping everywhere as I heard the 718's are pretty bad for approach angle.

GT4 will be a better driving car, but it doesn't matter. i went from a 981 GTS to a T and there's A LOT I miss about the Cayman, but the 911 driving experience is so unique and there's always cayman inferiority complex. I'd happily own another GT4/Cayman/Boxster as a second car, not as an only car.

^^^ What he said. I also went from a 981 GT4 to a T. I kinda miss the sound of the GT4 but I wouldn't trade back. A lot of the GT4 guys I talk to say they preferred their 981 to the 718. That being said just like @lamacan it would be killer to have the T as the canyon car and a GT4 for track; but I don't have the garage space and honestly it would be better to rent SP Motorsport's car or get something a bit cheaper to abuse on the track...

Very true. I think a Spyder would be an awesome 2nd car if you had a 911 as well. I do not have the budget for a 2nd fun car at this point in my life. So I think I’ll try to find a used T in my unicorn spec and then in a couple of years, maybe add something else. Thanks for all of the feedback.

just purchased my first Porsche 911. 2018 911 T 7MT. Truly am elated.

i notice there are some discrepancies on the 0-60mph times. Porsche says 4.3sec. Car and Driver says 3.7. Not that ill ever do that but why is there such a difference?

cant wait for the delivery.

My understanding is Porsche times are always conservative. Under promise and over deliver!

Jeahbladejeah

Yeah, Porsche sandbags the 0-60 times. You should definitely do it, by the way. Why own a Porsche if you're not going to drive it like it was meant to be driven??? Enjoy, and welcome!

Welcome to the T Army... And as has been said, if you don't drive the car like it's meant to be driven, you're missing out... You don't have to kill everything you can at every light, but have fun with it!

I'm sure the GT4 would be a fun car. I'm really tall (6'5) and feel like I don't fit as well in Cayman's. I'm also a die hard rear engine guy in terms of how 911's behave in the turns. I love having to coax the car into a turn via trail braking, and then going whole hog at the apex. Few if any cars feel the same, to me. If my 911 trend continued it would be a 2022 GT3 next, but I've been having some issues which have prevented me from enjoying my cars as of late. It's the main reason I'm considering selling the T. And yes, when I saw the for sale listings it occurred to me that I could likely list mine as the lowest price manual, which is cool. I would likely ask under MSRP. I'm anti protective film, so the paint is naked. I haven't given it a close examination recently, but there are probably a few slight marks. Car is in very good condition though. No track days. Factory oil came out at 600 miles, and just did another oil change and brake fluid change.

Sorry to hear about the issues you are having - hopefully you can get back into a 911 soon. I was commenting more on your history of purchasing cars in one model year intervals, would be a shame to disrupt that cadence. I am with you, I have given up on the GT4 idea and think that my next logical step would be a GT3 (991.2 once the market settles down or by some miracle from the allocation gods a 992 at MSRP). I just love the T and drive it whenever I can, not sure if I would do that with a GT3...

Not sure if anyone is following this, but there's a T on Bring a Trailer right now. This will go for all the money and drive prices up even higher (it's a high $ spec, but not perfect): https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...1-carrera-t-2/

Might be prudent to wait a few more days to list your T until after this auction closes.

dont do it. GT4 is great, but its not a 911
