The Porsche owner's two happiest days: The day the buy the car and the day they sell it.   It drops 2 million bhat maybe more as soon as it drives out the show room door silly buggers

Porsche is considered a prestige brand here, higher than Merc/BMW/Audi.

 

The reason is they're all imported while Merc/BMW have locally-made models. Because of this there's a high tax on them (up to 350%) making them expensive making people feel they're valuable. This doesn't make them any better though, just more expensive.

 

If you're not interested in showing off though, you can get much better value for an equivalent car from Mercedes or BMW.

Having a Porsche is impractical if you live upcountry as the only dealer is in Bangkok. Imagine getting service if you live in Chiang Mai or Trang.

 

There are many other reasons it is impractical.

One of the reasons that we don’t have one is because can’t get the golf clubs and the suitcases in.

AIr-cooled or water-cooled? ????

 

Probably like Porsche owners elsewhere. Unique, dedicated, passionate?

 

(I happened to walk by a pre-drive gathering in Bangkok before COVID, and a bright yellow 2004 GT caught my eye. I complimented the owner on this car, and he seemed like a perfectly nice, normal, unpretentious person. Just one sample so hardly indicative of a trend. )

The only safe place to drive it would be inside Icon Siam during lockdown
