December Running Costs for Porsche 911 Carrera 2

With the poor weather we've had recently I've tried to keep the 911 in the garage as much as I can so the mileage this month is a lot lower than before.

Total mileage for the month was only 221 miles and the only cost was fuel which came in at £49.65 so overall a low month for spending on the car. Unfortunately my other car hit some debris from the storm which resulted in a new tyre being needed at £130 so it wasn't so cheap overall.

Monthly Running Costs Porsche 911 - Total for September

Having bought my Porsche 911 on 8 August 2013, September was my first full month of ownership so this is the first complete monthly costs. The numbers are skewed by a trip to Germany at the start of the month which increased the fuel costs but there were only a few other costs in September.


purchase of Porsche 996 GT3 seats

Probably the biggest cost was the purchase of Porsche 996 GT3 seats. Luckily the cost of these seats was offset by the sale of the previous seats in the car so the net cost to change was only £50.

No other costs were incurred during the month so the totals were as below:

Fuel - £268
Seats - £50

Total for September : £318

Overall Costs:

Fuel: 374 litres            £532
Seats:                           £50
Parts:                           £100
Service/Inspection:     £240

Total Ownership Costs:

£922

Porsche 911 Maintenance Costs First Month of Carrera 996 Ownership

I've now had our Porsche 911 for just over a month so how much has the 911 cost to run so far?

The Porsche 996 was bought on 8th August 2013 and in that time I've incurred the following costs:

Oil change and inspection          £240
UK Car Tax (VED)                    £280
Parts (Horns & Pollen filter)       £47
Petrol Cap / Coolant Cap            £29

None of these were unplanned costs and none were essential as the car was running fine, although the oil change is hopefully a long term preventative measure to keep the engine in good condition. The car tax was also an expected cost and will cover the car until August 2014.

By far the biggest cost so far has been fuel! But the first month is likely to be exceptional as it was during the school summer holidays when both our cars get far more use along with the fun and experience of driving a new car.
