If you have kids, I strongly recommend (first hand experience) you budget for private schools. We made the mistake when we first moved to NC (yes, not all areas are the same) of putting our two boys in NC public schools…terrible mistake. After a few years, we moved to a state known for superior schools. What a difference. And yes, in NC, compared to many states like Cal, your money will go a lot further. We doubled the size of our house, when we moved from Md to NC, and, had waterfront property in NC…all for the same price that we sold our Md house.


Best of luck.

I think you should offer to cancel your order if the dealer will return your $5k and give you an additional $10k. Then the dealer can sell it with an ADM

Thanks for the suggestion. We’re definitely going private schools. We’re taking the kids to visit soon.

This has been my thought process, but there is a possibility that it will completely work out and I’d hate to be out this car. That’s why I was curious what the community thought about my financial position on the car if I did need to sell afterwards.

Buy it and sale it for a profit.

I learned from my Depression era parents to be financially conservative, even though I have a significant savings. They were part of the Greatest generation, so I felt they had a lot I could learn from them. By the way, my parents have live in Coronado, ca for over 50 years…so have done very well.

Moving to a new state, new schools for your kids, new house expenses, etc, etc, could bring unforeseen expenses. I’d let the smoke clear until you and your family are comfortably settled in before adding a $177K financial burden for a new toy? What’s the rush? Porsche will still be selling 911’s, and who knows, you may get a better deal from the Porsche near your house in NC? Might strike up a good relationship with the dealership that you will be taking your car to?

Odd it says not found. Wonder if it disappears after you get the car built? Wanted to see what was in the build.

Do you guys know if it's possible to sell the car without first paying taxes? Assuming that you will never drive it.
For example, I bought a car out of state and didn't pay tax when I received it but had to pay at the DOL when I registered the car.
Could I have sold it before registering it?
If yes, that could a way for the OP to get out of this with some extra money.

I'd say for sure that most Porsche guys buy with cash or a small temporary loan?

I believe that dealership can help you do such a transaction without you getting hit with sales tax. The same can be done, for example, if you lease the car and then sell it private party (i.e., you don't buy the car and pay full sales tax only to turn around and sell it to someone else).

I still say leasing is a good way to keep the car for a short time, little down, and get out of it easily soon or later.
