911R Sets Sales Record, Costs More Than Base Porsche Showroom
Bonham’s auctions recently saw a Porsche 911R sell for a cool half-million dollars. Specifically, it sold for $532,500, which by our estimates is $148,000 more than buying the base version of every Porsche model available, from the 718 to the Panamera. That’s right, you can buy a whole showroom for $384,500. Having a 911R is an amazing part of any garage or collection, but if you wanted more than one car, you can start with the base models.
If you’re wondering about what kind of income level you’d need for your own personal Porsche showroom, by our estimates you’d need about $433,000 of annual income to justify the purchases without putting a strain on your monthly expenses. What kind of job do you need to make that kind of money? Well, being President of the U.S. gets you close at $400,000. Specialist surgeons can certainly break past $400,000, as can successful lawyers. Many CEOs can certainly afford the group of Stuttgart specials, with some of the higher-profile incomes exceeding seven figures.
So if you had the cash flow to pick between just a 911R or all the base models in the Porsche lineup, which would it be?
