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

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.

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.

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