Buying the 2012 Porsche 911
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2012 Porsche 911 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Thinking about the 2012 Porsche 911? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
What the specs mean
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.
By the EPA's combined rating of 11.0 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 33 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $57.75 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,825 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
How big it is
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. Its 142 litre trunk is enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the 911 for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the 911 on your commute before you commit to it.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,825 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Questions first?
