With all of the recent economic difficulties, many motorists have found themselves in a pickle when it comes to replacing what they’ve got in the garage. The finances just haven tbeen in place to afford what they want, so rather than compromise, many chose to just wait it out. For those who wanted something a little more ‘ordinary’, the government’s scrappage scheme did offer a window of opportunity – motorists could be buy brand new cars at prices never even heard of before, when you used your old car as part exchange.
For those who want something a little more special, however, like a Jaguar or a Porsche, the government’s scrappage scheme did not include this section of the market, so prices remained the same. Prices for sports cars have always been a little on the high side – that’s why they’re prestigious. If you’ve got your heart set on a Porsche, but just don’t have the money, or just don’t want to fork out for the showroom prices of today, why not look into buying a used Porsche? There’s nothing wrong with that. Quite the contrary, do your homework right and buying a used Porsche could be the ideal way to make the most of your money – getting you the car you want at a price you can really afford.
Many prospective used Porsche buyers contemplate the Boxster. As Porsche’s main entry level seller, this car has been a huge success worldwide. If you have a spare £25,000 lying around, you’d be able to buy yourself a three year old top of the line Porsche Boxster with 28,000 miles on the clock. Not bad at all right? For £37,000, you could buy yourself a one year old ‘S’ model, with only 10,000 miles on the clock. This price might be getting much closer to the £41,000 price tag of the sportier Boxster ‘S’ model when new, but surely the drop in price is evidence enough of the value that there is to be had in buying a used Porsche Boxster?
Another huge global success for Porsche has been the monstrous Cayenne. On its first introduction, the Cayenne invoked controversy both with its design, and the fact that Porsche had produced a 4×4 when the world was trying to turn to more eco-friendly alternatives. Nevertheless, the Cayenne sold in the thousands, and you’re bound to see one on the roads at least once every day or two. Brand new, these beasts cost upwards of £41,000. Now you could probably find yourself a two year old model with 6,000 miles on the clock for £35,000. Bargain.
