I love your Porsche content and it breaks my heart when you get rid of a Porsche(though I do understand your methods). You’re a great teacher Love your videos!

LOL, don't ever get married dude... You will be bored with the same ole ride within a year and the cost of ownership will be a lot higher than the GT4.

This man really telling us about the GT4 he owned while sitting on a bucket. Keep up the vids 😂

Porsche dealer wanted $1500 for spark plug and coil changed. I did my self. Got parts from pelican parts for $300. Saved $1200.

Good video. I had a 2018 Cayman GTS - fantastic car, just as you say. My issues with it were: expensive maintenance, low practicality, and there were places in town I wouldn't park it. So I replaced it with a Golf R, which solves all three of those problems, and is plenty fast enough. Sure the Golf R doesn't shift like a PDK, nor does it handle like the Cayman, but is so terrific otherwise I don't miss those things.

Sad to see it go dude! I just sold my 997 S a month ago. Loved the car but the current market makes it hard not to consider selling. Looking forward to the next fun car!

Absolutely agree with trying different cars, variety is the spice of life! I've had everything from Elise, 4C, to Panamera GTS and Jaguar XKR-S and a lot more in between. Would love to see your thoughts on the 987.2 Cayman S. Since you've had an Elise and a GT4, this car should slot right between the two in terms of rawness and overall feel. The Gen 2 Caymans are special, especially the "R" but prices on those cars have really taken off. The "S" can still be had in the mid-40's in great shape. Take a look!

Man, it's gotta be tricky trying to find something of the same caliber or greater than the GT4 for $60k. Especially in this market. Seeing something a little older may be a good option until the market settles down and you want for the next real-deal sports car. I was also thinking about that GT350 you owned... paying $42k for a GT350 is unheard of now! $50k+ for even high mileage examples!

I definitely understand the wanting to experience different cars. I currently have a gt350 and s2000. Both awesome cars. Been on the track with both.

$2,200 seems a bit too high. I just did mine for $1,200 w/o oil change. I bought a scan tool, so the oil change costs me around $90 and GT4 oil change is way easier than my SUV. I am waiting for GT4RS now. Porsche will announce in November however, I will keep my GT4 as long as the car stops moving.

I really enjoy your channel. If I am not mistaken, wasn't this car originally purchased in New York?

Reset computer is $175 on sale from SunCoast. Got the correct spark plugs for $60. Put permanent filters in for $170. Cabin filter is cleanable a few times. 981’s are not that bad if you do as much as you can yourself and use an Indy mechanic. I replace the differential fluid every other year for $40. Replace half the PDK fluid every year for $40. The spark plugs are a pain to replace on the front two cylinders. No way I’m going to a stealership though.

For me, other than the Carrera GT, the GT4 is the one I'd love to own and daily drive.

Wow, where I have been. Did not know you had a GT4. By the way my Porsche Cayman base with 2200 miles on it is worth more than I paid for it due to market conditions. It’s a 2021.

Rennlist listing was $63k. Hell of a deal to get what a picky person considered it as, 'easily the best he ever owned.' Congrats to the new owner. Looking forward to the next project on the channel!

That's probably my favorite car in the world right now.

Bummed I never got to meet you at a cars and coffee in Cincy before you moved. You have a Twitter?

Kurt, keep producing video. Don't quit! Hey look I owned a 944 - bought it second hand though but was still in good condition - and no part, yes no part, at that time, cost less than 3 digits! What a rip off. I sold it and bought a second hand Trans Am. Sure it was less finesse but parts were much cheaper. Suggestion: think about road testing cars like mustang, RAM 1500 etc and ou will have many more watching your video.

Damn i would of killed to buy that for 60k My Dream car. I Just picked up a New 3.0 premium Supra for 53k. Its ok but nothing compared to the GT4

Damn didn’t know these could be had for $55k with a salvage title. Gotta watch you’re older videos about the car. You should get a salvage GT3 now!

what camera do u use to film ???

What’s going to be the new whip?

I just sold my dream car - an F430. Pretty heartbreaking so definitely feeling that vibe. Finding it extremely hard to replace. It's a can't live, can't live without scenario.. 😢

I can relate..went home a 993 that I racked, owned for 17 years, then your type off "fever" struck...Sold the 993, got a 2004 GTS...ho hum, tray was a Cayman 20-14 GTS, a performance monster, sold that, got a 2020 Mustang GT with Performance Package 1, sold that and get 2015 Cayman GTS, sold that, for a 2103 Carrera S, sold that and I have settled happily with a 2017 Carrera GTS...the best car I have ever owned, in my garage for 2 years, now getting the need for another car, maybe a 981 Cayman GT4, or a 718 GT4.....oh my.

I love your videos 🙏🏻 i would appreciate more land cruiser content 👍🏻 tnx

Rennlist listing at $ 63 had the car a restored tittle? With the accident, wheel bend and more?

Someone wired you the money sight unseen?! Crazy. Details on how to go about a transaction would be appreciated. One time a seller wanted me to send $5k to hold the car until I could get out to him a couple days later and I just don't have trust in people like that.

If you're scared to take a car to the track, then maybe a camry or something a soccer mom would buy like an AMG suv ;)

Do you still have the isf is the question. Like you said about the GT my F is the best car I've owned. But I'm thinking about moving on to the next

5:45 there is a DIY procedure for resetting the service reminder and it can easily be found on YT and Google. How in the heck did you get a GT4 for $55k?! Heck, I can't even find a nice S model in that range.

Was this your first Porsche? I feel like all of us know as owners it costs to keep them. That being said though, mine is the most reliable car I’ve ever had and my dealership is also above and beyond in taking care of me. I think Porsche will always be a very specific taste.

Are working on some of these cars outrageous? Yes, but these cars are amazing and Porsche service is top notch and you own a GT car so you “gota pay to play”. It’s almost impossible to explain to a bmw, Mercedes, Audi corvette own how amazing Porsche is so in my opinion I think it’s worth it. Cheers

Nice Video! 308 Ferrari GTS would be interesting

Wau I was really thinking of buying your car if you sell it 😭 lucky guy 🙌

You wanna play you gotta pay. Bought mine for $60k with 30k. Came with EXPEL Ultimate paint protection. Mostly everything in the interior is carbon fiber including the shift knob.

Spend $200 on a scan tool and reset the oil change light... That's what I do on my 981🙄

I think you need a twin turbo Supra next!

next car has to be a convertible, what else in so cal?? something with a v8 and more on the plush/luxury side than firm and sporty. and yes I'm thinking about selling my miata for an early 90's merc sl.

Wait… you sold the car and were wired the money then took the car out for a final drive? Hmm - That aside, good summary of ownership and I completely understand the sports car journey. I have the similar ownership experiences with a 987.1 CS, 997.1S, GT350, 981.1B, and felt the exact same way about the GT350!

What year was that GT4? I watched 3 of the videos and he never mentioned...

If the change over valve only cost $1500 I assume that it was very easy to replace.

Did you consider 4.5 upgrade? This was a keeper either way.

I‘m owning a 981 GT4 aswell (pls see on my youtube channel). And I totally agree with you on the missing nose lift! Why don‘t you get a 992 GT3 manual as your next car? 🤔😃

Did you ever think about about using a Montana LLC to avoid Sales tax? Since you are trading cars so often. Or, getting a dealer's license?

How did you get a GT4 for $55k?

You kept it for such a short period of time it still has the Ohio plates!

Damn, I was hoping you were going to keep this until next year so I could buy it (I don’t know why I thought you’d keep it that long though haha)

This dude is a fucken real deal, I've been following him for a little while now..Great content my guy..

Personally it's allot more affordable than I thought. Especially considering I plan on only driving mine maybe big maybe 2000 miles a year. Will never sell or have to hopefully.

Have you owned an M2? I traded my 981 CS for one and couldn't be happier!

Are you back in Ohio? I am seeing Ohio License plate on the Porsche.

For me a 718 Spyder but the f. $ for those, that is for me my personal best looking car forget the driving LOL so pretty omg in manual which car manufacturer makes manuals now a days, thanks Porsche for listening.

How about a Lotus next?

The trouble with the GT4 is it looks like it's moulded out of one sheet of plastic like a toy. I say this after doing a track day alongside a GT4. I was in my Cayman S. Most of the cars were Lotuses: Exiges and Elises. The GT4 guy said himself (we were both ex-Lotus owners) that the Lotuses on track looked purposeful and rippling with speed and performance. I felt about my own Cayman that, in comparison with the Lotuses, the car was more about elegance than gritty track day performance. True, the engine was superb. Yes of course Porsche's are built for the track - but at the same time they are big fat buses in comparison to out and out track cars.

Spending money on car maintenance is honestly worth it, especially with a car you love and enjoy. Spending car maintenance on a beater shit box is horrid and soul crushing.

AMG GT - Jaguar F Type or for something totally different Alpine A10.

What are you gonna get next?

get the Honda accord sport

This you just let one out at 3:16?

So, if you didn't have issues and only used the dealer recommender service, $2,200? That's not terrible at all being that that car is still going for around 100k used and 140s new. And it wasnt a typical oil change, but your 36k service. If that 2.2k was too much, sorry but you shouldn't have bought that car. My Mercedes ran me over $700 just to get the fuel door solenoid replaced, gave that car to the ex and now in the market for a GT4 or GT3 myself.

Range Rover Classic!!

Your car came with a CPO and had a bent wheel? You should have complained to Porsche about that. Or did you buy the car from someone who bent the wheel after the CPO was issued?

I’d have the wheel straightened

As an ex certified auto tech when you buy one of these vehicles get ready to spend money,if you’re not ready to spend money don’t buy one

You could've bought the ISoft to reset the oil light. Super easy

Cabin filters and spark plugs shouldn't need to be replaced at 36k miles. Today's iridium plugs last for 120k miles. Unless you did all those miles on the track thrashing the engine, I am sure you didn't need plugs.

FYI a mk6 VW GTI ($28k new) replacement wheel (Watkins Glen, 18”) is similarly outrageous: $450. For one wheel, without the tire.

I've had a 981 GT4 since new, and it's been great. Super reliable and handling on a different planet, and I's worth the same as I paid for it 6 years ago. You did the biggest no-no of all for a guy selling a collectable sports car - you drove it after selling it and getting paid! You never do that!! It's inviting disaster before the new owner takes procession

How are OEM wheels $200? I think you have some ridiculous expectations there. Just looked up the cost of replacing the wheels on an MX5 with the sport package - $1200 each for the 17” BBS wheels. $1500 for Porsche sounds cheap considering they can charge you $4K just for a paint colour.

So basically, you bought a broken car at a really decent price, can't afford the upkeep, and had an opportunity to sell it at a great price? I would do the same. I wouldn't buy a salvage car, especially not a car that is German and usually meant to be kept as a collectors car with very low depreciation. Also, unless I was making $500k+/yr, I wouldn't buy a car like the GT4. I wouldn't be able to afford daily driving it otherwise nor would I be able to afford it as a second car.

Next car, maybe 1M BMW, or M2 CS

You could have gotten the rim fixed for $1-200.

Valentino Rossi, sorry he want something special and preferable better, now that is always hard after owning a GT4 Porsche omg as i want a 718 Spyder in manual, for sure no deals to be found even worst they get more expensive by waiting LOL

Lotus Emira next!

Find a reputable independent Porsche shop and you’ll save lots.

Buy something air cooled

I’d go with a cheaper Porsche, no need to pay 2k every few months on air filters

Maybe shouldn’t buy the GT4 if these costs bother you, or? The car value is significantly higher in value

I think you need to go through a cycle of mods before dumping a car to make these videos interesting.

What will be your next sports car since you sold the porsche gt4?

Definition of "whiner" . . . . see this video. Geeeeez . . . it's a Porsche GT car! You were expecting maybe Honda Civic level expenses? I own a GT4 . . . sometimes you just have to "pay to play".

Ohio license plate driving on Lincoln Blvd in Los Angeles

Dude, I have a 2016 GT4 and will never sell. iI's the bomb! Sorry, this video is useless. I am glad you sold it to someone that will will really enjoy it.

Ferrari 430 or 458

Buy a C8. Period

Seems to me you need to be reminded Again about the realization of what you actually purchased and how to PROPERLY spell out the name of this Company. Once again.. that is: POR$CHE. (Least somehow one forgets.)

Honda Civic type r.

When you EatSleepDrive+WORK=300k then $2200 is no problem. Then again if you had any idea about OBDII equipped cars you would know that a $50 tool will reset the oil service warning. Plugs are Bosch about $5-8 each blah blah blah...Nothing funnier than someone on a Home Depot bucket in an alley Porsche GT4 talking and 100k people want to know about it. You are welcome.

here's what i would buy if i were in the market for top end sports car, in no particular order LFA M3 911 GT3 Touring Thats all i can think of off the top of my head

Dude please go drive a Honda, you don't understand what you're driving when you drive a Porsche!

tesla model 3 performance or plaid?

sell it because its not a GT3. Ive never felt a GT4 is quick, only works on full revs. Just driven a 992 GT3, now thats a car!

You like the next experience? That applies to every car. The “big news” is that you’re selling a car? That’s microcosmic news. Useless video.

Buy a '68 Camaro, you coward

Lol...crying over $3400. I spent more then that on my girlfriends Louis Vuitton purse. When i bought my used Cayman i took it straight to a indy shop and had all the fluids changed. That was 2k
