According to a study by the online auto marketplace iSeeCars.com, the Porsche 911 (coupe) is worth every penny, followed by the Porsche 718 Cayman, which is one of the cheapest Porsches for those on a budget. Owners can expect their 911 to lose only 9.3% of its original value after a five-year depreciation. The MSRP of a 911 base model is $114,400, which only increases based on options. After five years, a base model could fetch the owner roughly $103,760.
The coupe version isn’t the only 911 to rank in the top 25 of the study, either. Further down the ranking, coming in at 15th, is the 911 convertible model which only depreciates 26% of its original value after five years. Two 911 models appearing on the top 25 vehicles for the lowest 5-year depreciation is a testament to the quality of this high-performance vehicle.
The Porche 911 doesn’t only retain its value, it can earn some profit for an owner. In July 2023, a Porsche 911 Turbo S convertible sold at auction for $288,000, with an original price tag of $281,000. Few luxury cars will retain their value like a Porsche 911, much less earn their owner a profit.
