Would I be able to afford a Porsche 911 carrera?

I can't afford it right now because I am only 15.


But when I graduate college and become a pharmacist, would I be able to afford it off of $100,000 a year?


How many years would I have to work for to buy one of those?


Are those rare cars like the porsche speedster and only have like 200 in the world? Or are they popular and have tons built?


Would that car even be worth buying?|||Porsche's first car, a 356, was homologated for road service in 1948. Porsche has been building road cars now for over 62 years. The one millionth Porsche - of any kind - rolled off the assembly line in 1996 ( http://smtpca.org/history/59-porsche/47-鈥?/a> ). That car was an air-cooled 911 Carrera, a "993." 911s are only built in Stuttgart, Germany. Porsche does not build "millions" of 911s. Porsche is a small, boutique car maker.



The last oil change on my 911 costs $295.00. Oil changes are scheduled "every 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first," so over time simple services aren't that much more expensive than other cars. I insure four cars. With my discounts, including multi-car, my Porsche is not the most expensive car to insure on my policy (that's my 20 year old son's 2006 Honda Civic; insurance for you in a 911 Carrera will be expensive, especially if you're male, unmarried, have a bad driving record, etc.).



Many special models of 911, such as the Turbo S, which is only built now and then, are produced only a few hundred at a time.



Yes, a salary of $100,000 will allow you to buy a few years old 911, even a special model. I haven't bought a brand new one yet, but can see from actual experience, that will require a very large down payment and sterling credit, or the ability to make a monthly payment larger than a salary of $100,000 a year might allow. Many lenders offer 7 year contracts on cars like this.



Note that Porsches hold their value better than just about any other car built. My air-cooled 993, which I sold to buy my present car, cost me only $4,000 to own for five and a half years (difference between what I paid for it, used, and what I sold it for).



And yes, there really is no substitute (well worth buying).|||it all depends on the 911 you want, but you're talking about something that's wayyyy down the road right now. honestly, you'll probably change your mind by the time you can afford one. but the newer 911's aren't rare at all, Porsche builds millions of them and they sell in large numbers. the maintenance can cost a LOT of money. an oil change can cost almost a $100, they wear out tires quickly and they aren't cheap, even just changing the brakes can cost between $1000-2000. you can still get a good used 911 for about 50 grand these days, considering your budget you might be able to afford one. either way, you can probably get an old 997 for cheap.....when the time comes.|||well to buy it off the line maybe a little more but far as maintenance i think you could afford it and i wish you luck in your field im 16 thinking of the same thing :)|||Just stand tall and shake the heavens my friend. You can get that Porsche 911 carrera as earlier as you reach 23 yrs old just focus on your studies and work hard.
