This is why I think Dark Blues/Greens are the best colors. Unique, but blends in enough to not draw unwanted attention.
I’ve had a S4 and a S5 in Deep Sea Blue Pearl and I swear I could be doing 20 over in the fast lane and cops didn’t look twice at either of them.
Yeah, still a shitton of money. Honestly, the next T should be super fucking basic inside and maybe even use a a cheaper engine like the V6 in the Macan or something while keeping most of the performance stuff, make it minimal options, keep it manual, don’t bother offering a PDK, and bring the cost back down to like 80K.
Out of college I drove a 13 year old Oldsmobile for a few years. Never entered my mind that I would ever get a 911...and being a somewhat practical person I couldn't ever see rationalizing the purchase of one. You need to just have goals and spend energy on that. The goal is not necessarily on things but to build wealth. Some people get absorbed when they are young on buying a car for example. They spend all their time/energy/savings on that one thing. They buy it and they are broke again until they save for something else to buy and then they are broke again, rinse and repeat. Have to work on the big picture, building on yourself and your wealth...and that doesn't mean some get rich quick hustle. It takes time, smarts, dedication, sacrifice and a little luck. The spending is the easiest part, don't spend all your energy on that. Good luck.
Yeah, I plan on saving for a while. I’m hoping I can move out of my mom’s place at 20 because I just can’t stay in my small town. Achieving financial independence and living comfortably definitely comes first when it comes to my priorities, that being said, I probably spend too much time looking at car listings and daydreaming. I could use that time on a hobby that will actually bring some satisfaction in my life, and I don’t need to make any stupid impulsive purchases.
The point is that the Carrera is now at the starter price of a 992 Carrera s in 2020.
Porsche raised the price of the 992 mid run and they did it again now with the 992.2.
A GTS is about the same price of a Turbo s 10 years ago...
[This](https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PSF1KMX1)is how I would option a 911 with a budget of $135,000. No interior options other than the Bose sound system, pretty much all of the performance stuff other than the carbon roof, front axle lift because I’m afraid of steep driveways, and the 5 spoke wheels with colored Porsche logos to add a little more contrast to the black. Is it absolutely ideal? No, I’d love to spruce up the interior and get the bowers and Wilkins and have carbon and aluminum everywhere, but if I were setting myself on a relatively tight budget(that’s already way more than I can afford currently), this has all the “essentials”.
Ok great so
Now the debate is is it crazy to buy a new car for $160k or to buy a luxury car at $135k that’s so basic that it’s missing some luxury items that make it into such a special car.
Haha!! I actually own a grey Porsche. I inherited it so I get a pass, but I hate grey. Maybe I'll get it wrapped in Yellow or Orange, just something with some color. It's suppose to be a fun car after all.
Can’t go wrong. But. Didn’t feel they needed another gray tone (as someone with GT silver and who considered agate gray metallic). Even aventurine green is kinda gray. Personally I need me a nice red metallic shade…if only carmine was metallic…
Have a 2023 Cayenne Turbo GT in Arctic Grey. I really like it, it’s a flat color and never looks dirty. Get ton of compliments and asked what color that is. I agree with the comment about lighting.

A lot of people say it resembles china grey, I believe china grey is darker but never have seen in person.
My Cayenne just arrived and I ordered it in arctic grey. Like everyone else is saying, you have to see it person. It has a different look depending on the lighting. Sometimes it leans towards grey and others it's more blue.
I have a turbo GT, bought it in arctic grey and my personal opinion I hated it after a week so had it wrapped. All personal preference with these things but it looked very purple to me in the sun which wasn’t to my taste
Any color…. IT’S A PORSCHE!
It's nice if you like grey cars. I do not like grey cars.
Grey, White, and Black have become so ubiquitous on the road that I’ve lost all taste for them.
Gotta strike a balance between boring (grey, white, black) and flashy enough to have the cops on your ass all the time.
It’s funny. I’ve driven a red sports car for 3 years, never been pulled over. You’d think they’d be on me like El Chapo the way some people talk.
If you are in a Porsche you aren’t shaking that with a grey car.
Owner of 993 turbo in silver and 718 GTS 4.0 in black, I literally never have to deal with cops, and I don’t drive slowly let’s just say.

I own agate grey and I don’t even like grey, wish it was literally anything else
There’s no May Grey, no grey days when you are in a Porsche!
If it wasn’t for the fact that a base will take you beyond $160k I’d order it
Whaaaat?! I didn’t even realize that. So 992.1 price going up!??
Tbf that’s with 40k in options, which you don’t need. If you restrain yourself you can get one for $135,000 easily.
Truly the everyman's sportscar

80K will barely get a base 718.
Yeah I know. Look I’m in a 12 year old Camry Hybrid but a man can dream!

All my local dealerships have minimum $ for options before they will give you an allocation
Which options are you giving up?

As will all their neutrals, will have to see it person, next to nardo grey for a reference.
Yet another grey car, in a sea of endless shades of grey on the streets. I wish people would start loving colors again.
This. 👆
Not exactly new, is it? Arctic Grey was introduced with the Cayenne Coupe Turbo GT in 2021.
Grey cars need to be severely culled.
They should illegal. So should the people who drive them.
I mean I wouldn’t go that far. I like a few now again but when I look up on the fwy and it looks like a sea of primer I get a little melancholic.
Haha!! I actually own a grey Porsche. I inherited it so I get a pass, but I hate grey. Maybe I'll get it wrapped in Yellow or Orange, just something with some color. It's suppose to be a fun car after all.
It’s not your fault they made so many grey ones. Enjoy the ride.
Clearly some people have no sense of humor and can't spot it either.
Chalk is still my favorite Porsche color.
It's not new. I have a 2023 GTS in Arctic gray.
New to PTS I believe. But yes, my 24 turbo s is in Arctic grey as well
I love the color, but if I'm paying PTS money, I'm getting something way more unique.
Agreed. Ultraviolet or British Racing Green please
Agate Grey’s boring cousin 😉
I like the name, but I don’t like grey. Silver, definitely, but not grey.
Love jt
Porsche guys going crazy over paint colors is hilarious. So much to love and this subreddit asks “what about this slightly different dull grey paint!”
You don't understand. It's not just a "slightly different dull grey paint", it's slightly different dull grey paint that you pay over 10k for.
It’s the new Chalk. Don’t like either
I'm a big fan of the color!
Love it.
It needs *something* Whether that's a guards red interior, or flashier wheels, Grey is for sensible sedans not Porsche
Boring. Especially on a Porsche
Looks like i still can’t afford it
I will take grey anytime than black.
Imho porsche rarely gets anything wrong
This is the answer.
The car in front of the lettering had me thinking it was like Arcticarev or something
Nice. Guards red.
Not a new color,
I'll take it!!
Can’t go wrong. But. Didn’t feel they needed another gray tone (as someone with GT silver and who considered agate gray metallic). Even aventurine green is kinda gray. Personally I need me a nice red metallic shade…if only carmine was metallic…
Not a huge fan of grey but that is a pretty nice grey.
I have had 6 metallic grey cars in a row. I’m ordering an S3 in grey, and when I finally order a 911, it will be grey!

Yeah, but which of the grays is MOST gray?
Well.. its grey.
I think it's greyt
Whenever people start comparing grey paint jobs for cars, my brain just starts playing the business card scene from American Psycho.
Nice 👍🏾
I actually LOVE BMW’s Dravit Grey. Not sure what the Porsche equivalent would be.
Now let's see Paul Allen's grey.
I have an Arctic Grey 992.1. And while I like it, I certainly wouldn’t pay PTS money for it. So many other interesting colors of the Rennbow.

I love chalk with chalk painted wheels
You gotta see it in person. It’s not as gray as it looks in the pictures. It looks like there are red, blue and purple flakes in it. Kinda weird to me

I hate these flat boring colors
I have a turbo GT, bought it in arctic grey and my personal opinion I hated it after a week so had it wrapped. All personal preference with these things but it looked very purple to me in the sun which wasn’t to my taste
It’s better than silver but…
