【Porsche Ownership Costs】Is Porsche Insurance Expensive? How Much Does It Cost?

Porsche Car Insurance If you’re thinking about buying a Porsche, one question that’s likely on your mind is: How much does Porsche car insurance cost? I’ve mentioned insurance briefly in a few previous posts, but never really gone into detail. So I thought I’d take a closer look and lay out the numbers here. First, I insure all of my cars through policies offered by their dealerships. To be honest, that’s not the cheapest option....

My Newly Purchased Porsche 911 Has Broken Down! Understanding the PADM Fault Warning

The PADM Fault Warning I recently talked about this on a Twitter Space, but while driving the 991.1 Carrera 4 GTS I’d recently bought, I happened to notice a PADM fault warning on the instrument panel. The warning appeared in white (though it seems it can also appear in yellow), so it didn’t affect the car’s ability to drive. In normal use, there was no noticeable problem. From what I’ve found while researching the issue...

Air-Cooled Porsche Ownership: Three-Year Maintenance Costs Total About ¥2.12 Million

Air-Cooled Porsche Prices Keep Climbing Prices for air-cooled Porsches have been on a seemingly unstoppable rise. Used Japanese sports cars and other classics have also become more expensive, but the pace of appreciation for air-cooled Porsches has been particularly striking. These days, even cars that look to be in decent condition are often listed as “Price on Request” or “ASK.” Even cars with an asking price can approach ¥10 million if they have fewer than...

Porsche Cayenne Scratch Repair: Cost and Before-and-After Photos

I Scraped My Porsche Cayenne The other day, I wrote about scraping my Cayenne. I got an estimate from a body shop that same day, then took the car in for repairs a few days later. Now that it’s back, I’d like to share how the repair went. The shop I chose had helped me out many times before, back when I’d only just graduated from being a nervous, inexperienced driver and was driving an...

What’s Going On This Year? The Air Conditioning in My Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Isn’t ...

The air conditioning in our air-cooled Porsche 911 (964) recently stopped working, so my husband wrote about what happened. I hope you’ll take a look. Air Conditioning in an Air-Cooled Porsche Lately, we’ve been taking turns driving our Porsches, switching from one to another every week. With summer approaching and temperatures climbing, I decided to take the 964 out for the first time in a while. I started the engine in the parking lot and...

Five Years with a Porsche Boxster GTS: The Second Service Came to an Astonishing ¥523,300!

Servicing a 981 Boxster GTS My husband’s first Porsche was a 981 Boxster GTS, and I was there when it was delivered in 2015. I still remember how excited he was to finally get the Porsche he’d dreamed about for years after deciding, “One day, I’m absolutely going to buy a Porsche.” It feels so strange—I still can’t believe it’s mine. It’s been ages since I drove a manual, and the clutch is so heavy....

Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Inspection: What It Covers and How Much It Costs

Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Inspection In a recent article, “Driving a Refreshed Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Felt Like Driving a New Car,” I mentioned that I’d share the inspection details later. So this time, I’m going to cover what the inspection involved and how much it cost. For this inspection, we took the car to B-Force, the shop that’s looked after our 964 ever since it was delivered. Here’s what the inspection included and what...

Porsche 911 GT3 Ownership Costs: Is It More Expensive to Maintain Than a 911 Carrera?

Porsche GT3 Maintenance Costs The other day, someone asked me, “People say a GT3 costs more to maintain than a 911 Carrera, but what exactly costs more—and by how much?” I asked my husband what it had been like in practice. He said: “Hmm… So far, I haven’t found it dramatically more expensive than a 911 Carrera. But if you drive it on track often, you’ll need to change the oil more frequently, which would...

A Refreshed Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Felt Like a New Car

Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) It’s hard to believe that our 964 has been with us for two full years. “We’ve been keeping up with maintenance over the past couple of years, and it’s in much better shape now. I reckon it’s getting close to how it felt when it was new,” my husband often said. But between the whirlwind of having a baby and a period when we kept the 964 in a parking lot...

Porsche 911 GT3 Oil Change at the Dealer: How Much Did It Cost?

Our GT3 Has Passed 10,000 Kilometers Our 911 GT3 was delivered last May. In just a year and a half, it has already covered more than 10,000 kilometers—10,605 kilometers, to be exact. My husband often takes other cars on road trips, too, so the fact that the GT3 has still passed the 10,000-kilometer mark really drives home just how much he loves being behind the wheel. Recently, he mentioned something he’d noticed about the GT3....
