I’ve sold 3 Porsches for as much or more than I paid after driving them a few years. Few repair bills. Expensive tires. But bottom line yes less than a Camry to own. I call them “free cars” but it’s nearly impossible to convince other people of that.
Good video thank you for putting it out. I had a 2005 997.1. I purchased four years ago with about 38,000 miles on it and it cost me about $5000 a year over four years maintaining it.
Great video and very interesting content. I think if you invested in a wearable microphone you would get more traction in your videos (not that it’s what you’re going for, but it’s really the only downside to your videos after I went back and looked at some of your other videos). I only comment because I really think you’re videos are interesting and feel that’s their only negative.
"Used 911" means so much more. You can buy three 997's for the price of one good 964/993. You can buy five or six 996's for that price. LOL. I own a 996 and I know... people don't love it that much but it has been a perfect car for me for 5 years now. They are cheap and will always be cheap, because the production numbers were so huge. 996 and 997 will never go up in value like the air cooled cars just because of that. But that's only a positive thing. Cheers.
981 Spyder bought new drove 8 years, 35k miles and sold for $10k less than paid. Only routine oil changes and couple sets new tires. 89 Carrera, drove for 2 years, put 10k miles, sold for $15k profit after all expenses. Price of entry is expensive in Porsche world, but cost of ownership is low if you buy the right car.

Dave Ramsey approves this message
He would only approve if my income was above 7 figures minimum 😂

Thanks for the feedback! Always open to constructive criticism.
I guess it worked for Tavarish.

Look at 997.2 production numbers and re evaluate your comment.
@@hobear637 70k cars was produced, and what does it mean?
997 turbos are going up I know cause I have a 981 cayman and I’m trying to trade mine.
Enjoy your 996 b/c it works for you. Who cares what others think.

Great comparison video! How many miles had your Porsche 911 4S When you sold it ?
Thank you! It had just under 36k miles
