Which are the best Porsche models to buy in 2024? I asked no less than five experts from three independent specialists: Paragon Porsche, Philip Raby and Harbour Cars. This year I split the question down into three categories: best Porsche for up to £50k, best Porsche for up to £100k, and best Porsche above £100k. Find out what our experts suggested in each of the categories… have they missed any models out?

A lot of love for the 997.1 and .2. The turbos in these models will at some point go silly crazy like the 993’s did, they’re classed as classics already, yes we are that old 😂 great vid, thank you.

i bought a 996 C4S Cabriolet recently. It's the newest 911 with the broad fat rear reflector bar look like that of the 993, 964 and G Series. For those who want that big fat rear light bar look, 996 C4S is also the only one with frameless doors. I completely covered the huge indicator lights, drilled a hole on the side of the rear tail lamp, and move the indicator bulbs down to emphasise the fat rear light bar look. Just did a 6,000km run-in to thailand's legendary Mae Hong Son loop with 4,088 corners with the car, after an engine rebuild that fixes the bore scoring and replacing the IMS with European Parts design.

@niall3973 6 ай бұрын

997.1 Turbo MT for me. Incredible amount of car for the £££. There are only 6 for sale on Autotrader. So seemingly getting rarer and rarer. I also get the feeling the Turbo badge meant a bit more on the 997.1 than on subsequent 911 iterations. The proliferation of the GT cars have perhaps cast a little bit of a shadow on the Turbo named models.

The 718 GTS 4.0 is the best sports car Porsche currently makes - handling, fun, daily, perfect size for UK roads, power you can exploit, gem of a N/A engine you can't get in modern 911's unless its a track GT. If you need to scratch the 911 itch you must,. I've enjoyed five (993, 997's, Turbo S etc), now have a GTS 4.0 Boxster which looks better than 911 Cab & drives better than most 911's.

Even in the US 981GTS with a Manual is extremely rare. Currently there are only 4 listed for sale across the US with a manual and all are black or silver, except for one in Carmine Red. Not surprising as the 981 GTS had lower production numbers than the 981 GT4. @15:50

I had a manual 981CGTS, ordered from new in 2016. Sold it in 2018 to make way for a 991.2GT3 manual (ofc). I love the GT3 to bits, but man, I miss the 981 a lot, the realxed handling, the size, the sound!!!

@mattabell3657 6 ай бұрын

In the US the Porsche market is very inflated at the moment. A local dealership has a new Cayman GTS 4.0 marked up 20k over MSRP and would not budge on price. So I went and bought a 2007 997 Carrera 4 with cash and plan to drive it until the wheels fall off. Or until it developed bore scoring…

As mundane a thought as it is, does some thought have to be given to the Euro rating of cars and thus their viability / usability with regards paying 'pollution' charges when travelling through the UK and Europe? As the moment, the 991 and 992 range which is Euro 6 is free of this charge.

Why do you never mention base models. My base 997.2 is about the same performance as the 997.1s. But it is a much better car with the DFI engine, interior and suspension upgrades. The main point is the engine does not suffer from the .1 problems and is considerably more economical. I can get 60 mpg in a motorway cruise.

Gen 1 does not have ims it's bore score it's in all engines and eventually will show up the gen two are getting on a bit now all over 12 years now and are suffering from things . I have a gen 1 997 4s and did the full lee Jenkins experience on all cylinders and it's the best way look for a car that needs a rebuild on a good price lots of hard graft but otherwise you will be in the mid 40s with something that will need work eventually overtime the all need shocks and and some coolant pipes. But a 4s is a cool drive .and there is lots of cars out there claiming the have had a rebuild don't touch a engine with steel liners on the rebuild I have had a failed rebuild good luck from Paisley

@niall3973 6 ай бұрын

I'd probably go for the 991.1 C4S personally. For the budget you should be able to pick up a really nice example with a full Porsche OPC/specialist service hist and with a reasonably low mileage. You'll probably be comfortably under budget too.

I wouldn’t heat up new buyers for speculating with Porsches. They all will burn money, especially with all „new“ standard Porsche‘s such as 991 (especially with PDK) or 997 (even GT’s) or all Caymans. In a few years these are just „old“ ICE-cars as millions out there. If, THEN a real classic oil-cooled, manual shifted Porsche not later then 1998.
