The Cost of a New Porsche

[ChrisW.]

I came across a 2004 ... model year 2005 Porsche Price List.

The cheapest 911 Carrera cost £58380.00 ... which after inflation of 75% (BoE) ... equates to £102,165.00.

How much more is included in a cheapest 2024 992 than the 2004 Carrera, and what is the current list price ??

I'll go and have a look !

£97000 ...

Which suggests that Porsche are not driving the brand up-market ... it's just inflation catching up with us.

[ChrisW.]

My example is a very early 997 ...

On the question of tax ... if this is making expensive items less affordable, the Gov has borrowed a lot to enable us all to live through three exceptional World events ... the Banking Crisis of 2008, Covid 2019 ... and now hot on the heels of this, War in Ukraine ++

Who does anybody think will pay for this ? If not us, our children ??

Or Messrs nobody ???

Do car prices generally track with inflation, or are they gradually becoming a more affordable proposition?

I think the evidence so far is that over time we are getting a better car for broadly the same price ...

My dad's first car cost him £25 when his semi detached house cost him £800 ... ?? But there are cars and cars !
