If I were to buy an older Porsche 911 from a dealer, how much would it cost per year as a result of owning one, provided that I don't get into any accidents? (Insurance, fuel, simple maintenance, etc. into the equation)
The situation includes: family, male primary driver, no accidents, commuter to work/school, insurance based in safer neighborhood of San Diego, CA. (SoCal)
Thanks for any helpful answers!|||Don't buy from a dealer if you can help it.
Just by privately and have the car checked by a good mechanic.
You will save nearly a third.
Insurance is not that much more. Probably 30%.
Maintenance and parts are not that bad, as long as you find a good mechanic.
The oddest thing to watch out for is that if you start it with the pedal too far, you can backfire and blow up the mainifold. It is a plastic box, and easily damaged. Look for signs of it being glued back together. Use the manual throttle positioner to start the car, not the gas pedal.|||pretty normal maintenance cost, like owning a bmw. Not a good car if you commute in traffic. The clutch is very stiff. Watch out for the fuel system. The fuel distributor is very costly($3000 I think). Other intake related stuff(Throttle body) has some issues. Have an informed porsche mechanic look over it. They love the old 911.
