Owning a Porsche in Pakistan

[pwuser157200695851]

Salam, I’m interested in purchasing a Porsche in Pakistan for the first time. I’m wondering what would be the aspects apart from enjoying the vehicle such as Resale, Maintenance and as well as repair.

Dear Brother, you are planning to buy a Porche and even before partial downpayment has been made or vehicle identified for purchase, you are worried about resale​. Please do not buy it. Buy a Fortuner and sell it after 6 months at a profit if you are so keen on treating a vehicle as an asset (only happens in the land of the pure). @capsat, @sameerulhaq064, @rajaatta, @babarhyd, @helper_learner.

Seems the only insane person on PW is @consigliori who despite maintaining a white elephant (LC80) is now thinking of keeping an E63 (In Sha Allah). Mad man.....

Porsche has ended it's presence in Pakistan. Local partner took the booking money and absconded if I recollect. This is during COVID-19 days.
@consigliori have you ever given a thought of acquiring Immobiliare ?

[consigliori]

Bro what's that (seriously)?

[helper_learner]

Buying Porsche and worrying about resale? These cars are for "shoqeen People" Just like other German cars.

If you are really one of "shoqeen People", then Resale, Maintenance and repair does not matter.

Where there is a will there's a way....

Lc80 is white elephant?

Then porsches would be burraaq!

I would suggest he buy a 911 and experience the thrill of it - it has garbage resale in Pk, but who cares when you have a 911 giving you a good time!

[ahsann]

what is a reasonable budget for 911 ?

sirs i consider Porsche is a car for enthusiasts who are keen for maintenance but least worried for any resale. if am not wrong on 4 door sedan variant are known as Panmera rest are all 2 seater coupe.

Porsche dealership showroom vanished long gone closed. after cheating upon several customers. There will be no support for any kind of maintenance even if it is sourced through any 3rd party.

i feel sorry for the owners who use such vehicles as passenger & drivers drive for them.
either owner's inability to handle the vehicle or simple plain show off with cast over neck stepping out from expensive toy.

worried for resale before having in possession is premium class zero wisdom.

Thanks guys.

Ha ha. Forgot Xulfi bhai will pick this point up.
Naqvi Sb, Aaj kal it is. I have been pretty busy for the last year and so hardly drove it 100 odd Kms so currently it's only serving as an eye candy.

thinking of keeping an E63

sir with no civic sense and absence of law, our vehicles get scratched by other road users. The common crowd gather to 'koi nai ho jata hai jab gari sarak par chalti hai tou aysa hota hai ap dil bara karo iss raksha walay / bike walay / taxi / pickup walay gahreeb ko chohr do saheb ALLAH ap ko bohat day ga'

and there we land ' wincing tayree m&^*^' mayra paint scrtach kar deya door dent kar deya badbakht nai aur hans ka keh raha hai saree sir.

where we stand for that. right of way, civic sense, law for everyone is vanishing fast. Jitni nai aur bari gari utna envy hai sir. ap ki LC sai loug dar ka dur rehtay houn gai E 63 mai ap ko china cd70 wala bhi cut mara ga, agay gir gaya tou ap ki ghalti bari gari walay paisay walay andhay ghareeb ko mar deya.

decide for e-36 according to your driving route & routine.

Yar bhai excellent. This is what happens and it the absolute truth. Problem is not the rich guy with the merc but unfortunately the "poor daredevil " on CD 70 who hits, falls off,scrambles up back on the bike and takes off without even blinking an eye whilst you sit there dumbfounded wondering how much will the bloody tail light cost and why did you venture in that particular lane​

[sardarg]

sir am humbled. for your agreement

am using green bus and bykea for working commute now when necessary. Since long we are on work from home, and required to visit office once a month for short hours.

i drive my car over weekends that too early in morning to keep it fit for run when needed. does not have enough means anymore to handle any serious major break down or shut_up_immediate cash for daredevils on road.

[rajaatta]

I have a Porsche cayenne 2008 and I do care for it more then my wife because infact I repair It my self but those damn repairs are hell expensive.

I have never thought of selling It because then I will not find a clean and maintained one.
So if you plan for a daily runner you need strong heart and full pockets as you are not maintaining it yourself so if you need it for buy and sell after few months year then shift to JDMs

[sameerulhaq064]

E63 still seems like a better financial decision than an 80 series 🤣
