All of my Porsche cars, except the first, a '73 914 2.0, were bought used. My '10 997.2 C4S 6 speed had 8K miles on it. I think these cars are kind of pricey so I choose to let someone else take the first major depreciation when it rolls of the floor at the dealership. I try to buy smart and sell smart to minimize the negative you typically see in this market.

Ain't is nice to get a 3 yr old car with $80k+ sticker for $38k? That is what i did in 2009. It is the only way to get those cars in my opinion as i have a lot of things to do and where to put those $40k of first years depreciation. But i am not a collector , i just drive it.

Bought the 997 used with 2,000 miles
2007 Cayman S used with 20,000 miles
2006 Cayman S new (off the lot with 100 miles on it)
2006 Cayenne New
1984 911 Used
1970 914 Used
I guess I like to see the car to fall in love. I have had very good luck with used Porsches...not likely to order a custom one new. Risk of let down it too high

Welcome to Porsche for both of you guys.
As for myself, I have had 3x 944s and 2x 911s. All bought used as I am not rich enough to throw away the first few years depreciation. Especially considering I usually don't keep cars for more than 3 years usually.
Considering the care and light use many of these cars get many of them are almost new even after several years.
