What should I look for in a used Porsche 911 coupe?

This is a very sporty car and will have been used enthusiastically from time to time. Check the bodywork carefully for any signs of damage. Look at the alloy wheels closely for kerb damage, as repairs will be costly.

Earlier cars had problems with the dual-clutch transmission, and owners complained about the quality of the paintwork. It’ll be worth taking a Porsche specialist with you if you’re buying one of the older 991 models, as it’s worth checking the condition of the engine and the exhaust very carefully if you’re going to avoid large bills further down the line.

What are the most common problems with a used Porsche 911 coupe?

Is a used Porsche 911 coupe reliable?

The 911 didn't feature in our latest Reliability Survey, though in a previous one it finished three places from the bottom of the coupés, convertibles and sports car class. That said, the score of 90.1% does compare well with the class average and was a lot higher than the models ranked below it. Porsche as a brand languished in 25th place out of 30 car manufacturers.
