    Buying a used 911 - Any advice?

    Hi all.

    I'm a new user here just about to purchase my first Porsche 911, and I thought I'd ask some advice to see if there is anything I should look out for.

    It is a 2017 Carrera GTS with 16,000 miles on the clock.

    Here is the link to check it out - https://drivefoundry.com/listings/po...a-gts-pdk-2dr/

    I saw it in person and drove it and it looks and drives immaculately. It comes with a Porsche warranty.

    I was wondering how this model would depreciate in the coming years?

    Any advice welcome.

    Thanks!

    Well that's certainly one way to advertise a car here.

    Smartest-one-in-the-room types are usually in the wrong room.

    Agreed. Pretty annoyingly self evidently sneaky.

    For what it’s worth (nothing) my experience with a 2006 C2S Cab
    MSRP $109,000
    I purchased in 2010 for $50,000 with 27,000 miles
    Sold it as a roller in 2019 for $11,000 at 117,000. The engine was dead due to the IMS bearing going to poop. So much for the new and improved bearing.
    Any newer car will depreciate like a rock. Buy the car for fun, not an investment. When you tire of it, sell.
