I just got my ‘24 GTS in March. It was a lot of money, but also my dream car. It took me two years to get the car after deciding to make the purchase!!
Great video and very thoughtful analysis of the costs of ownership. With the exception of stroking a check for the full purchase price (which is not possible for most), an alternative is to save for a larger down payment to reduce the loan term from 72 to 48 or 36 months. This would put a sizable dent in the $300,000 total price that you referenced. Most importantly, you stressed keeping costs for the 992.2 within 15% of the total household income. To be so young, you've got it figured out!
I know you've already done the newest Mustang, but could you perhaps also cover the 2nd most expensive trim of the newest Mustang, aka the Mustang Dark Horse Premium?
Are people really financing $200k cars over 6 years with 8% interest rates? I'm a huge Porsche Stan, and know the depreciation curve is slower than most, but it seems like it would be a hard pill to swallow to still be paying almost $3k a month for a 6 yr old Porsche when the 994's will out before you finish paying off the loan.
It has an electric motor under the PDK gearbox. I’d need to pay for extra warranty as that’s going to be a high cost for maintenance when that inevitably goes
I think the added complexity of the new hybrid system will lead to staggeringly high maintenance costs. I made sure to get a 2024 GTS allocation earlier this year and I’m glad I did.
Stopped watching after 1:45 seconds. Pronouncing Porsche wrong, and all you're doing is reading it off the website. People who own a 911 or are looking to buy one are already familiar with the specs, so it's a giant waste of time. Also you're monotone, which is boring.
