Is a Porsche 911 an investment?

[Anonymous]

I would not buy a 911 with 40K on it--any year model. That's 40K probably hard driven miles, or fast.

But if you do it, make sure you can afford the insurance. 1.5 years ago I bumped up to a 100K car and our auto insurance jumped significantly. And like you, I barely drive it.

Very few cars appreciate. I own one that did. It's rare. Porsches are not. Buy to enjoy it, not as an investment.

Another vote for going to the Porsche forum. There are a couple that I like, but the most popular, I think, is Rennlist.com

Not the new ones 911 base. Exceptions will be selected GT models etc but you are not talking min $250k l. The newer base 911 Carrera are basically gentlemen’s “cruisers” nowadays, not a purist sports car versus previous gen 911s. Look at one of the air cooled ones (94-98) or the 991 gen, before they made them too complex.
