The simple principle of Supply and Demand.

They are 1 in just a handfull of handmade cars available on the market.
If you think about it, is any German car cheap?

Because they are not mass produced like Fords etc.
Each one is virtually hand built which makes the labour content high. Then you have the market fores of supply and demand. When demand exceeds availability then they can charge what they like.
They are only for posers that could not, even if they tried, drive a real racing car.

l own a repair shop,and l work on some of them ,its just the name that your mostly paying for on these cars ,they are built well but that name has been a symbol of performance since it first came out ,and that has kept the price up high on them,but as far a the car goes there not that great ,good luck l hope this help,s.

Like some of the others say not mass produced, too fast and expensive for the most of us. But more importantly--so secretaries, students, and even teachers and 99% of all hard working people and idlers can say ''gee'' when they see one.
If buying an import, l would say stick with lower emissions ones--better mileage and lower pollution tax. Toyota is my preference and has been for years.

The answer is simple. First, the German Mark is very strong - so we must use more dollars to buy them then in previous years. Next, Porsche has a limited production. Supply & demand. But what l think most above r missing is Porsche spends a lot of time & money on research -- & that too, goes into the price of each car. Afterall, someone has to pay for it.

Meanwhile, our government does have the ''luxury'' tax for the imported cars. They also have the import tax. And l believe they still have a tax on cars that do not reach a certain fuel consumption number (but l do not honestly know if Porsche fits into that category.) All of this adds to the price of the car.

BTW - so many buy used Porsches - the cars last & all the extras in the price diminish with the age of the car for sale.

OK, first & foremost, the 911 is a technological tour de force. Each year, more & more high tech parts r included, Carbon Ceramic brakes & a 7 speed DSG transmission r the current big hitters.
You wo not find either of those on anything that is not italian & well into six figures.

You get absolute & unerring build quality, look at how many old 944 is u still see running about with 200,000 miles on their clocks. Thats build quality.

There is also a plethora of things u do not see. For example, if u spec leather seats, the specific hide that is used for each seat, any trimmings r kept in a box at Porsche, & should u ever tear ur seat, u will get a repair using the same hide, ensuring that it is a perfect match.

The engines r likewise an engineering marvel, all aluminium construction, sodium valves, variable geometry turbo is (a world first on a road car), & the ability to produce sledgehammer power for 20 years with nothing more than regular servicing.

You also get the most useable supercar ever. Whilst it may lack the ultimate thrill of a ferrari or lamborghini, they just can not be used everyday. And when u realise that the fastest road car round the nurburgring is consistently a 911 in one guise or another, u can see it performance credentials r world class.
