I will explain why I sold my Porsche Targa GTS. The sad day has come, and I should explain why I'm selling it. It will be truly missed 😢
I loved owning this car, but there were 4 main reasons why i decided to sell the car. Each reason may not have been enough on its own, but when I add them all together, it makes sense for me right now. It was a great experience buying & owning this 991 Targa GTS, and ill be back in something special soon.

Can I make a suggestion that you don’t buy any car for a while as it sounds like you have other issues to sort out first ….

You put too much thought on it … difficult to ever be contented. I have a 992 CS, absolutely lovely car, I enjoy every minute of the driving. The problem is so much Instagram, RU-vid and influencers analyzing every single bit of everything to get views. We are unsatisfied kids

Yeah I agree. Since he had owned a number of Porsches, I find it impossible he didn't know exactly what he was getting into. Literally reviews Porsches, and there are plenty of other online reviewers/forum boards to know what your getting into. I have a Boxster and I totally as in totally knew what I was getting into. Maybe he paid to high, past few years market has been really high, and/or financed a higher rate, finally caught up financially. Although I give anyone kudo's when they figure that out, most people don't or can't admit it. Doesn't like the angle on Instagram and what people would think? Again, aren't there like a zillion available vids/pictures of this car? Didn't notice it until he started posting his own pix...huh? Observation (personal) how many people online are so insecure and vulnerable to what other's think.

Truth is you could hardly afford the payments and the dealer offered you a price with a little profit so you sold the car. And your RU-vid channel was not paying for the car as you had hoped and a looming potential for a repair scares you. Maybe the first oil change at $500 scared you also. You are more of a Toyota Supra guy.

But in the short time I have watched your videos over the past 3 to 4 years I have seen a boxster 2 caymans the yellow 997 the black Cayenne and as you state 3 991s. I was fortunate enough to buy my 981 via an inheritance (I would consider myself) to be lucky. That has to be one of the daftest comments I have heard in a long time!!

@pj3127 2 года назад

As the owner of a 991.1 Targa 4S, perhaps I’m biased, but these cars don’t have a “bad angle”. Further, the roof is almost completely silent, my paint matched Sport Techno wheels are stunning, and IMO, the open air experience is exhilarating. The Targa top engineering is truly a work of art. The insane price increases of 991.1 Targas over the past six months are hard not to take advantage of, but I can’t imagine finding another Porsche that would suit me better. To each his own, but I don’t find your arguments compelling in anyway. I find it hard to believe that your reasons for selling aren’t just fodder to validate capitalizing on the increased value of your car.

Hi PJ. I have ordered a 911 4 Targa GTS but don’t expect an allocation until next year. I appreciate your comments.

I agree with all of that. The targa looks amazing from every angle. And he can’t find a wheel that looks good on the car?? Well, he put the ugliest set on the car possible. But different strokes for different folks I guess.

@rickp9946 2 года назад

I suspect you get bored easily. The only real criticism you seem to have is the roof noise - the other observations are very mood-based and/or state-of-mind calls. Nothing wrong with that of course - it's your money, your mind, and I'm grateful you continue to share your thoughts. To be honest I'm very similar with "toys" - there's always something different and maybe better.

Wow really? :) So you are really not a rich guy with a 60000-pound sports car budget, but he is rich with a 120000-pound budget???? I have a $170000 budget for my next 911 992 and I am nowhere near rich. Any regular person in Africa would think all 3 of us are rich, BUT we are most likely just car crazy people who are lucky enough to have enough pocket money to enjoy our hobby. Next year I most likely will have to start to build a house, so I won't be able to afford a used Prius.

I ve been following you for a good while.. This video was really annoying with the image going reversed and back, never noticed it on any other of your videos... I sympathise with your position with the targa and get it totally. Its only when you live with a car that you find out the things that disappoint. Been lucky, had a 986 Boxster, 987 gen 2 cayman and a 997 911, loved them all, recently had an F type that was better than all 3. Currently in an Audi TT and enjoying it more than all the others... why??? , less powerful, has to be driven hard to be fun, but you don't reach licence losing speeds in seconds, so its more usable on our crowded little island. Well built and handles like its on rail. Good luck with your search.. air cooled or 996 GT3 ???

I see Cridfords have a Targa on sale, very similar to yours; not sure if that’s just a coincidence 🤔

@stevecade857 2 года назад

Sad to see that beauty go but I can appreciate all your reasons. The noisy roof would be my main reason but I'd have to try to fix it before I'd let it pass from my hands. You're the kind of guy that likes to use your cars as daily drivers so be very considered when you try the sport suspension of the high end GT line cars. My dream car had been the 911R for some time.

@olukunle 2 года назад

I sold my 997.1 C2S convertible about 4 years ago and bought a 997.1 C2 last week, I totally agree with the lines and the looks of the coupe especially from the rear end. Another thing is that cocooned feeling, always felt vulnerable in the soft top and of course the convertible suffers from a lot of body roll which the coupe doesn't, it would be interesting to know if the Targa is as solid as a coupe. I drove a 991 C2S before I bought the 997.1, I didn't like it at all it felt bland and lacked engagement, it wasn't an exciting car to drive not in the least bit compared to the 997 which always put a smile on my face.

@vonJaerschky 2 года назад

I'm curious how you made out financially, in these times of crazy used car prices. Did you get what you paid, or maybe more? I'm fully with you with the coupe. Cabrios or Targas just don't do it for me. Living on the west coast of Canada, we also have 6 months of rain, so a solid roof is nice. The other times are nice and sunny, but then it would be too hot with no roof. I do absolutely love my 991.1 though. Good luck with whatever strikes your fancy and comes your way next!

Awesome opinions. I just walked from buying a 2014 Targa. I was concerned about the cabin noise not from the mechanical roof but from the wind boucing in the cockpit with the roof open. The video was good because I don't feel bad for my reasons as you spoke of yours. I'm a 997.2 previous owner for 10 yrs. Sold it last year and never loved the color ruby red. Love the cabriolet and will start looking for a 911 4S cabriolet again in the color I like (blue) with tan or grey interior. But thanks again for honest take on selling your car after only 4 months.

@RobertoB-qp6es 5 месяцев назад

Targa is beautiful from any angle! This is a mechanical beast and you are going to hear rattles, if not at the time of purchase, then some time after. One of the main reasons to buy a Targa is for the wrap around visibility out the back, eliminating blind spots. Unfortunately, the view through the curved glass is distorted. The rear glass also sits too high as can be seen in the video. Another issue is the speedometer sitting a bit too low, forcing the driver to look down away from the road. There is no option for a Heads Up Display which Porsche cars desperately need. Only the Taycon has that option. Still, there is nothing like a Porsche!

Satch, you have touched on so many reasons why I won't leave the 997 911 platform, because although I would like to experience a 991, the 997 offers so much for so little (relatively of course), so thank you for sharing your targa experience and good luck finding your perfect Porsche!

IF, I was a serial P flipper..past couple years wd b ice cream in the desert..main gripe is something like can’t love the car unless you love the tires..it will be interesting to see if he runs diff sets on next ride perfecting the ideal dream ride My 2023 Targa order will be lock out next week for changes. Went w T 4S..and have thought about changing to GTS past 2 months…wife goes cranky when kids roll down her Cayman back windows..so my only concern is..how loud will I have to blast my tunes when blasting my daily drive steep s-curves. ❤

Satch, I have watched your channel for awhile and I have come to appreciate your humble demeanor when describing these cars, yours or others. I'm not sure how you know if any car suits you or your lifestyle until you live in it for a period of time as you have with this Targa. I am pleased to see that you're okay to move onto something else that may suit you better after a short period. How many people would actually admit their new purchase isn't doing it for them? I would guess many have searched and bought what they thought was their dream vehicle only to be a little dissatisfied but stayed with it. Kudos to you and looking forward to the next purchase. I am still in the search for my first Porsche.

I'd prefer to sell my soul to the devil than to sell this particular car...

the 991.1 4GTS is the way to go, especially if your daily driver for few cars handle better in the rain at hwy speeds, exception an old 928 or 2004-06 Pontiac GTO.

The first 911 Targa in 1965 was a design compromise. It was developed to meet new (or at least anticipated) US safety requirements. I don't remember anybody being crazy about the design. Then in 1983 (changed safety laws?) Porsche replaced the Targa with the 911 Convertible. In my opinion the reintroduction of the Targa in 2014 was a mere marketing ploy: it added a third (retro) body style to the 911 line up. Crash worthiness is equal to that of the Convertible (as of 1997), top down wind buffeting is supposedly more unpleasant. For me the decision would always only be that between coupe or convertible.

I want a Targa 4GTS but not in that color and definitely not those bland simple rims. Don't blame you if you wanna get rid of it. It's prolly not gettin you any action either. For me I actually enjoy the cold weather with the top down, love the cold breeze hitting my face, but the heater in full blast blowing my body.
