What do all 911 model variants..
Discussion
Cost their owners to service, maintain, and where required repair (not accident repairs). We can disregard fuel costs but include all services/breakdown repairs,tyres and unexpected costs.It may also be wise not to include improvment costs/upgrades so as not to muddy the waters. For the purpose of this interest only exercise we dont realy want to be hitting on Car values/depreciation just yet! That maybe worth cross comparing at the end if we get enough feed back.
I realise that older cars will cost more than the modern models but this would be a good exercise to measure many many arguments here on PH.. I guess for the more precise who have kept figures written down it would be interesting to also see previous years cost of ownership. My car is;
997 2s
March 2006 10k miles
First service due March 08
costs current= N/A

My guess is that if we get plenty of input this could prove to be very interesting! Its not about knocking any model or type ie dare I say water V aircooled. We just want to get a good view of costs to run/repair/maintain etc. It will also help people decide maybe on the model they would like to own next, or even their first Porsche.
Will the Turbos prove expensive to maintain in services/tyres but will their overall retained value offset that cost? Will the 997 lose lots in depreciation but offset that by low running/maintenance?
Think you get my drift keep it coming and maybe we can work out between us how to get an accurate spread of costs over the model ranges to print the value table of the car offset against the running costs..Any thoughts later when we get a good cross section maybe.
Interesting stuff.
