Car financing: the 2002 Porsche 911
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Porsche 911 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2002 Porsche 911 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
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. 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.
Reading the spec sheet
The engine is the 3.6L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. 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.
The EPA rates it at 12.4 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 37 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $65.10 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
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 someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the 911 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the 911 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the 911 on your commute before you commit to it.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
