But you don't feel weird about spending over $100K on a car? LOL! The whole idea of a Porsche is excessive so if spending the money anyways, don't have any regrets after especially when it's over a few thousand more. Just look at the choices as whether they are things you really want and will make you happy.

I spent $32k on a C2, and I regret $0.00 of it. Paying MSRP and before the price hikes helped.

I went light with options (for a Porsche) on a technicality, only because my GTS came with some things as standard equipment.

Went full bore on mine. 3rd 992 since 2020 and this is the one we are keeping. Having had an S and GTS, I went with the 2023 4S loaded with Exclusives for various reasons. Final price was $190k.

I canceled my Turbo S Cabriolet order due to not getting the options I wanted. I know I would see what I could not get each time I got in the car. I ended up getting a pre-owned, with $50k in options and I could not be happier with my decision. Everything I wanted.

A bit over $26K in options on my 2021 C2S, but allowing for inflation that'd be . . . . . . . .

Get what you really want and don’t settle. If the additional 10-15k or so is going to hurt you, then maybe you should reconsider the purchase.

Don’t compromise on a dream car.
That assumes the 911 is a dream car.

For many, it's not.

For many? More like maybe a few…. I don’t know many people that grew up so rich that their 911 wasn’t a dream car.

I spec'd my 992T exactly the way I wanted it costs be damned. I waited 54 years to get to this point, I'm not cheaping out now!

I added $38k in options on my 2023 Turbo S Cab. Even though the stock Turbo S trim already has some of the bigger ticket items like RWS and PCCB's, I still managed to get my final build price to $266k with a TON of leather along with Burmester, PSE, FAL and carbon fiber seat backs and door sills. But given that the base price of a 2024 Turbo S Cab is now $243k I feel like a hero for locking in a 2023. I picked up the car on Wednesday and am SOOOO happy I spent what I did with zero regrets

It’s always best to not settle. Would you rather have a 911 with 30k in options and regrets you didn’t get what you want? Nothing to feel weird about.

My thoughts exactly. $47K in options on my new 992S. I ordered absolutely everything I wanted and all of it was available and came through, Dec 2022 build. No regrets on my part.

$37k in options on my C4S. Adding Heritage interior was the big one: $15k. Worth it though. Love it, and very unique.

Low 30s on 4S cab here, heritage interior was the budget buster for me as well. On a S ~$20k in options was the minimum to get what I would be reasonably happy with (basically comes to metallic paint, 14 way seats, carrera classics, two tone leather, premium package, sports package). Thankfully got in with no adm at before price jump MSRP which makes me feel at least a little bit like i got a deal (I guess).
