Hi all, so I looked at my first 997 last night and I hope to purchase one soon.
One of my concerns is that it may attract too much attention. I'm soon to be 26 and I'm an Independent Financial Adviser, will my clients think I'm charging them too much if they see my car? Will it put off prospective clients?
The work car park has a brand new Range Rover, Audi Q5 and a Volvo XC60, which all cost more than the Porsche I am looking at, but don't attract any attention at all. To the average person, a 997 is a £50k + car and you have to be a higher earner to afford one.
To be honest, I think I could get away with it at work but will it draw too much attention outside my house? I live just outside Tunrbidge-Wells, Kent, in a nice area but not the best. Technically it would fit in my single garage but would be a very tight squeeze and not sure I would want to do it everyday or at all. I don't currently have off-road parking, may do in the future if/when I knock down a small wall outside the house. So it would spend most of the time parked on the street, which isn't a main road and can always park outside my house, as most of the other houses have off-road parking. One guy on the road has a 2013 Mercedes E-class, other than that most of the neighbours cars are hatchbacks/estates and are a few years old.
Any thoughts on this?
