Hi all,

I’ve always wanted a Porsche. I thought they were too expensive but looking online I’ve seen some that are very affordable.

What’s the catch? Are they super hard/expensive to maintain? What’s the main things to look out for on say a 2014 panamera or 2010’s boxter?

Any advice would be appreciated

    I had a 2011 Cayenne with 120,000 miles. Serviced and maintained. I tried to give it away to a few of my associates. People looked, but nobody took me up on the free car because of the maintenance. Two months later the water pump blew and all the repairs would have been $4000. I traded it in for a new Macan GTS. The dealership sent it to the auction. It didn’t try to fix it up for sale.

        Well I could have fixed it for like $3000 at an independent service provider, but another thing can go bad. I love Porsche cars and they are mostly all great no matter the age. You need a budget to fix it and a reliable independent mechanic. Cost the same to fix an old Cayenne as a new one.
