2019 911 Carrera T 7-speed

The 991.2 Carrera T stands out in Porsche's extensive lineup as a model crafted with the driving purist in mind, eschewing the non-essentials, focusing instead on enhancing the driving experience with features borrowed from higher-spec 911s. The twin-turbocharged 3.0L flat-six engine, paired with a 7-speed manual transmission and a sportier final-drive ratio, all fine-tuned to deliver a more engaging ride. Additionally, the Carrera T includes the Porsche Sport Exhaust and a PASM sport suspension, lowering the chassis and enhancing handling, making it not just a leaner, but a more thrilling member of the 911 family.

This 2019 911 Carrera T 7-speed is finished in Black over Black and has been modified with a rear ducktail-style spoiler, GIAC tune, and Turbo steel brakes. From the factory this 5,000-mile Carrera T’s only factory option is the $300 Chrono Package w/ Porsche Track Precision App for an original MSRP of $103,670.

The Black paint appears to be in good condition and is protected by paint protection film on the front end as well as the roof and parts of the rear bumper. It has a clean CarFax history report but the listing did not include paint meter readings. The interior is just as clean and the car comes with invoices for the aftermarket work completed on the car as well as recent maintenance.

The market for manual Ts has been fairly steady over the last twelve months hovering around the $100k line but only 4 cars have sold. Our Spotlight car hammered at a new twelve month high at a final bid of $107,500 thanks to its low miles and tasteful upgrades to improve the driving experience and subtle look of the rear end. A nice bump compared to the rest of the market but deserving for a nice, low-mileage example.

Two things that go hand-in-hand? Porsche and watches. Every Porschephile I know is also a watch nerd. And like Porsches, watches can be enjoyed at all price points. 

On a recent visit to Pittsburgh, SML subscriber Allan S. tossed me his new Sheffield Allsport watch. Sheffield Watches is a reboot of an old dive watch brand founded in New York in the ‘50s that was synonymous with producing low-price point, quality watches. The weight of the stainless steel case felt robust, as did the feel of the screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel—definitely quality. As for price point, the Sheffield diver punches way above its weight at $108. You can’t buy more watch for the money, period. 

And that’s what Sheffield Watches’ founder Jay Turkbas set out to accomplish, reviving the brand's ethos and creating a watch synonymous with quality, technology, and affordability. Taking inspiration from his original Sheffield watch from the ’70s and his 30-plus years of experience in product development and innovation, he knocked it out of the park with a durable watch capable of exploring the depths of the ocean one day and cars & coffee the next. And all at a price point equivalent to the $13 the watch originally cost back then. Take a moment to give Sheffield Watches a look. I know you’ll be just as impressed as I am.
