Porsche builds some of the world’s finest all-around vehicles. Some of the most expensive, too. The German automaker recently announced price hikes to improve profit margins. And as always with Porsche, the MSRP is only the starting point for negotiations. Features you presume your $197,200 911 Turbo would include, it turns out, are pricey add-ons.
That story continues in the used car market. The 911 basically doesn’t depreciate. Fervent interest in the model has spilled over into less desirable used alternatives like the 944. And the recent explosion in used car prices has only exacerbated that trend.
If you’re a mere financial mortal who loves Porsches, it can feel like you will never, ever get a chance to own one. But there are a few options to score a Porsche for a (at least relatively) affordable price.
Want an affordable brand-new Porsche? Try a Macan
The Macan SUV is the entry-level Porsche. Its current starting MSRP of $60,900 is more than it once was. But it’s a steal compared to the 911, which starts at nearly twice the price. And it’s the only Porsche you can buy with an option besides floor mats for less than $70,000.
