How do my fellow automotive fish feel about buying a used 911 4S convertible ? About 10 years old, maybe like 60k miles and up to 3 owners. Always wanted a nice car and honestly can’t afford a new 911 so thinking about this. Seeing some around 60-70k and plan to use for 5-7 years and hopefully then sell for about half (30-40 k). Is the idea feasible and anything I should be concerned about? Any tips (like model year / trim) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yeah or you can just commit to doing low level maintenance on your own

My 2 cents - don’t buy a cabriolet, buy a 6 speed MT hardtop and keep it. The 911 has shown to hold its value over long periods of time. I think the 6 speed non convertible 911s will start appreciating even more and faster once Porsche announces electric 911s.

I fully agree with this POV

OP i have a 2013 911S and I can confirm it’s the best fun you can have with your clothes on. If you can afford it and it’s your dream car - do it.

Bold assumption that you’ll be able to sell it for 1/2 of what your purchasing for in 5-7 years. Used car prices are through the roof—surely prices will stabilize in the next year or two.

Mainly trying to be as conservative from a financial perspective. Heard that the 911 kind of plateaus off in terms of depreciation after 10 years and then it’s a slow bleed. So hence the assumption. I understand I may be incorrect and you brought up a solid point.

Also is this a daily or 2nd/3rd car. If the latter, then maybe…

Yup 2nd and possibly 3rd car. Something fun to drive on weekends (live in a warmer part of the country so have more opportunities to drive it)
