Should you keep it?
Keeping vs replacing your Porsche 911
- Cheapest year to keep: 2011, at about $9,896 a year.
- Older isn't always cheaper: value lost shrinks as a car ages, but maintenance and repairs grow, from $751 a year for a 2025 to $3,008 for a 2011.
A paid-off car is usually the cheapest car you can drive, even with repairs: a replacement starts losing value the day you buy it and comes with tax, fees and often a loan. Switching tends to pay only when repairs get large and frequent, or a much more efficient car cuts fuel costs enough. Keep or Switch compares your Porsche 911 against any replacement, including the costs of switching.
