I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people around here.
So... I am in the process of due diligence in my first Porsche purchase. I am interested in the 911 & 718 Cayman models. I have always enjoyed motorsports and have that "Bug," now that I have the resources to purchase. I am somewhat flexible in vehicle choice. What I am looking for is the best investment scenario, the vehicle that will hold it's value the best. I want to drive it 3-4K miles a year, show it off and take good care of it. If I need to sell it in 4-10 years I want it to be a solid purchase for the market. I know there is no crystal ball and my direction is similar to many others.
I am looking to spend $65K to $140K, 2015-2018 models. During my brief recon activities so far, I am quite overwhelmed by EVERYTHING Porsche!!! Can anyone direct me towards resources whereas I can educate myself on my Porsche buying journey? Any comments would be appreciated. I hope all this makes sense.
My auto vehicle purchase experience has been limited to buying vehicles new for my wife & myself, keeping them for 10 years, then selling as a private party. I always get top dollar for the vehicles we sell. They are well maintained and taken care of. I know buying a Porsche is a whole new experience as well.
My preliminary thoughts are looking at a 1K-4K mileage 2018 used from a dealer. The original owner would have taken the hit, and the car is still new with warranty. For some reason there seems to be quite a few of these at a local dealership (which I have not visited yet). Normally I would never consider buying used from a dealer because of price & taxes, however with a Porsche it may be different. What is the general consensus?
All thoughts & comments appreciated!!
