I was reading and contributing to a face book discussion about this subject and I have for a while considered 2k pa the average cost of 997 ownership , it will vary from car to car and some will find the drip feed money at iy others will have longish periods of no bills then be hit with a lump , the latter seems to be my experience and goes something like this and does exclude the many thousands spend on mods :grin:
997.1 owned 4.5 years repair and maintanance cost aprox 4/5k
997.2 owned 1.5 years repair and maintanance cost aprox 7k
total 911 ownership 6 years total repair and maintanance cost aprox 11/12k
this works out at an ave of 2k PA .
there were a few others that also felt this was a reasonable assumption to the repair and maintanance cost of a 997.
I didnt think it was bad considering the low depreciation and what a new car would depreciate by in its first year alone .
whats your experience or thoughts :?: :thumb:
