Porsche Lease or Buy?
Looking for a fun car. Porsche 911s look fun. Lease or buy? Its going to be my daily driver
Good resale, have fun, watch out for the back tires
Buy, put miles on it. Enjoy it.

Grab yourself a CPO used one. Save tens of thousands. Great resale value. It won't matter because you'll have a blast. I've owned half a dozen Porsches and can't get enough of them. Only get new if you get a limited production car because they hold their value even better. GT3, for example
Buy the c4s slightly used. If wanting new, buy a less commodity model like gt2rs.
You don’t just “buy” a new gt2rs. That doesn’t happen. You won’t be anywhere near the top of a list you don’t even know exist just by showing up with a check...
Agreed. I’m just sharing my rubric for buying vs leasing a porsche with an illustrative example.
Buy it. No loan.
Porsche leases for new cars are awful— very high money-factors ( > 0.0027) - about twice as high as a BMW for example. If you were set on leasing I’d speak to Premier Financial Services and get a good lightly-used CPO car. Speak to them directly to secure financing and rates, then negotiate at dealership for purchase price. 911 is also a good car to own — very reliable IME, super fun car, inexpensive to maintain (compared to other high end sports cars), and hold their value well.
Did you end up leasing? How much for a 911 4S lease? Having trouble finding some numbers online
Not buy
