Used Porsche 911 vs Tesla Model 3

I know the two are entirely different cars. But a new model 3 is around the exact cost as a used 10-15-year-old manual Porsche 911 (997) which in my mind has always been in classic sports cars. It would be fun to own for a few years and get out of my system before everything becomes EV. Anyone on blind can add color to the two options? Edit: Thanks for the comments! I’m a proud Porsche owner. TC $400k

Not even close, get the Porsche. Everyone and their mom has a model 3 these days. It’s a dime a dozen and overrated imo

Get the Porsche and track the car. The most fun I ever had was on the race track.

We talking base model 3 or performance?

I guess if it's excitement you're looking for I'd go with the Porsche. I had an old boss at Microsoft who a few years ago bought clean condition used 911 (I think it was early 2000s era) with a manual. I don't know how he found it but it was owned by a guy working finance in NYC and it had mostly been sitting in the garage. He had a guy do a really clean install of an aftermarket touchscreen deck (so he had car play and Android auto) as well as a discreet radar detector behind the rearview mirror. That really modernized the car. The body style aged well so it didn't look really out of date, and ironically after a few years he sold it and got a Tesla. If you were comparing it to the model 3 performance and you were looking for fun, I'd take the Tesla. But for just a long range, it would be more fun with the Porsche (assuming you're not doing stop and go commute with a clutch - that gets old really fast)

Neither. You make 400k, buy an electric Porsche taycan. Best of both worlds.

4 doors. Not a coupe like the 911.

400k doesn't go far if OP is in the bay area. That's like 240 after taxes, and Taycan is 120+

If you’re considering both options seriously, you need to know why. What do you see in the Tesla that beats the Porsche? And what if you buy both? Anyway, I know you’re going with the Porsche but you’ll regret to not belong to the Tesla tech fanbois club. And the latter is a problem to take to your therapist because it’s not real.

Polestar 2

Same size as a civic, 3x the price. Polestar is scamming with re-branded Volvos.
