Buying a Porsche 911 New vs Used

If you purchase a used Porsche 911 that is 2 years old, then you could save $12,696 compared to buying new, and still have a relatively new model with plenty of useful life remaining. If you plan to keep this vehicle for 3 years then your total cost of depreciation would be $18,887. Try other age and ownership length combinations, or different vehicles to see if you can find depreciation sweetspots where this cost is the lowest. Hint: Try vehicles between 2 and 4 years old, as brand new vehicles depreciate quickly. Also, if this is a recently released model and buying a few years old isn't possible, consider another vehicle, or perhaps wait until more used 911 models become available.

What About Porsche 911 Insurance Costs?

The average cost to insure a Porsche 911 is about $4,836 per year. This adds up to around $24,180 after 5 years of vehicle ownership.
