With Porsche, resale values will depend almost entirely on the model you own. The Porsche 911 has been, and continues to be, the model whose used prices just seem to hang in there, ranking in the Top 10 year after year. The Panamera and the Cayenne, on the other hand, don't perform nearly as well in the resale market. While the jury is still out on the relatively new Macan, early indications look favorable.
The 2021 is our top pick for the best model year value for the Porsche vehicles. With the 2021, you would only pay, on average, 90% of the price as new, with 92% of the vehicle's useful life remaining.The 2022 and 2020 model years are also attractive years for the Porsche models, and provide a relatively good value. Our rankings consider multiple factors, including original new prices, current prices, maintenance costs and remaining years of overall predictabe expenses. Our top ranked model year represents the most car for the money with a Porsche model.
"Useful Lifespan" and Methodology
While the "Useful Lifespan" of a vehicle will vary greatly from one model to the next, and even one owner to the next, we have determined that twelve years is the most appropriate timeframe which will yield us good, usable data - and that any data beyond that timeframe becomes more dispersed, and ultimately less reliable. Moreover, maintenance costs beyond that timeframe become significantly more varied, as a vehicle owner's care of a particular vehicle will greatly impact its value, and ongoing maintenance costs. We are very much hopeful, however, that your car or truck will last well beyond twelve years, and that it gets you to where you want to go.
We aggregate and analyze millions of automotive data points from a variety of the industry's leading data providers. The insights and information on this page represent the overall averages of the combined costs of vehicle ownership. This information should be used as a general guide, as your individual results may vary significantly from that which is shown. Our mission is to provide car buyers with the resources they need to make informed purchase decisions. To learn more, see our FAQs.
