The Porsche 911 remains one of the easiest supercars to live with in daily use. They are thoroughly modern driving machines, packed with the latest in material advances, engine technology and electronic management.
The Porsche 911 lineup starts with the Carrera, powered by a 3.6-liter version of Porsche's classic flat six-cylinder engine generating 325 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The Carrera S and Carrera S Cabriolet are powered by a 3.8-liter six-cylinder, delivering 355 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The new Carrera 4 is equipped similarly to the standard rear-drive Carrera, but with the added advantage of all-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo S gets Porsche's race-bred, twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6-liter engine, creating a whopping 444 horsepower. Safety features on all models include Porsche Stability Management and curtain-style head protection airbags, which deploy from the doors and augment the front and side-impact torso airbags.
For 2006, new Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S models join the Carrera and Carrera S models that were introduced for 2005. Cabriolet versions also join the 2006 Porsche 911 lineup.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 Porsche 911, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2006 Porsche 911 for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 Porsche 911 was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2006 Porsche 911 is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2006 Porsche 911 will have a very good resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Porsche 911 is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
