The 2011 Porsche 911 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 Porsche 911 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before buying the 2011 Porsche 911, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the 911
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA has 2 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine and engine cooling. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain to know here is the 3.6L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
A combined rating of 11.0 L/100 km works out to about 33 litres per 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $57.75 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,825 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the 911 suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
What to expect from the 911
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. The EPA lists 142 litres for luggage, roughly about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the 911 on your commute, then decide.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,825 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When you know your dates
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
