This is my first porsche.
I've never financed anything though, it's always cash.
I just don't feel right financing.

 

39
moving from an E39 M5 (the gateway car) to a 996tt which is being shipped to Seattle now...

 

Ive always thought the BMW M3 was the 'gateway' car - its the first fast european car most people can afford and its such an easy car to drive fast it gets you hooked.

 

My gateway drug was a 330Ci, close enough.

 

I didn't want to put my age up on the board because I'm older and I see all these posts from you younger whippersnappers....then I thought, What the hell, I am what I am............I'm 66 and got my first Porsche when I was 64. I wish I had bought one when I was a lot younger....but having the fiscal resources to indulge yourself is one of the few advantagea of being older.

 

Hey Kenny,

I am in DFW area and started my own biz so please drop me a note with your info...i have a FT job but started my LLC to pay off my first Porsche! I have other goals too...hehe

 

Well, I am shocked at some 20 year olds getting into some p-cars...man. I am 29 and thought I was the baby...

I got some paying off to do on mine but everyone I talk to says "I stole it" when I explain the condition and price...

Yes, I do find myself in the garage staring at it too. I just need to get over the "cringe" when I turn the ignition praying it turns over and I dont need to find $5K to fix something. But, the advisor at RUF in DFW said they are quite low maintenance cars so I should be cool....

Rock on!

 

I'm 20. My father's 50 but we've had the 911 for 3 years now!

 

I think that everyone has a different gateway car... but there's been a big migration from E39 M5 to 996tt - interesting

 

I am 41, I bought my first Porsche at the age of 34 a 996 C4 cabriolet and I still love it.

 

going to have to agree on that one...
18 and dad's keys...

 

I'm 42, look like 30 and feel like 22.
This is third for me.
Lots of younger guys with $$ in this forum.

 

I am 95, had a 50,000 dollar ultimate makeover. Complete endo skeleton made of carbon fiber covered with micro molecular synthetic skin!!
