Another giddy-with-excitement new Porsche owner here. Got the good news that my CT4 (ordered in May) is now at the dealership, and that pickup will be this week.
I've seen many of your immediately go with ceramic and PPF. Is it really worth the £5k+ (or more?)
I've always treated my cars as just that - cars - and whilst I do my best to take care of them inevitably there will be a kerbed alloy, a minor ding, and a scratch or two, especially with a wife and kid.
The first chip is always the most painful, but after that I learn to live with it and just enjoy the car. After 2-3 years I sell the car, WeBuyAnyCar or the dealer knocks off a bit for the minor damage, and I move on.
I'm happy to invest into protecting my Taycan, but I don't see how spending 5k+ on PPF and ceramic works out financially? For that money I can send my car to a detailer regularly and probably repair whatever damage when / if it happens?
Keen to understand!
