911 Ownership Costs - from a 911 owner - tyres /servicing / insurance???

Hey Guys - welcome back to CMD and another video
So my 911 turns 4 years old this year and after recently going through a 4 year service and my 2nd year insurance costs - I thought it might be useful to share the costs with those of you interested and potentially in the market.
Hope it is of use to someone - somewhere.

[@CarMadDad]

[@chrispittock2099]

2 years has flown by, I remember you getting this around the time I got my M340i and that was in for it’s first service yesterday. Keep the content coming CMD, I always enjoy watching yours.

[@CarMadDad]

How time flies Cheers dude

[@TomHaleRacing]

Another great video and always a pleasure to be graced with your presence! See you again soon 👍🏼

[@CarMadDad]

More to follow TH - thank you for having me and nice moonwalk 👌

[@ianjames3904]

Thank you, really useful as I plan my purchase.

[@CarMadDad]

Great to hear 👌

[@carllynch8798]

I had an Audi B5 RS4 for 15 years that was a lot in maintenance costs ! And 17mpg on average !! Only had my Porsche 10 months 7000 miles and 3 track days so far no issues at all.

[@CarMadDad]

Thank you for the view and feedback 👍

[@timbo8917]

This is helpful and timely as I'm looking at a used 911 v new M2, may well just come down to practicality. Head says M2, heart 911.

[@CarMadDad]

Personally - having driven both - I’d go with your heart 😂 ❤️

[@markgt894]

Save your money and get the previous generation M2, the front and rear ends on the new M2 look like a joke.

[@GolfDeltaHoliday]

Very useful insights into cost of ownership, thanks. Did you consider manual and if so, what are your thoughts on having gone pdk vs manual?

[@CarMadDad]

Hey chap At the time I didn’t as it had to be my daily driver and all rounder - more recently though I have considered a manual as daily a Tesla - going to film one soon 🤞

[@ianmcwilliams6453]

Your mpg is amazing! I get around 24 on average, best ever I think on a really careful motorway run was 29.

[@CarMadDad]

I find cruise control helps 😂

[@ajsingh6726]

Hey mate great video keep up the fantastic content. I am same age as you and do not live in london and own a m3 competition 2018 saloon and surprised my insurance is £1400. What provider you got for insurance.£800 for a 911 is bargain!

[@CarMadDad]

Drop me a DM on Insta chap and I’ll give you the info 👌

[@Mac_F87]

Wow, doesn’t seem like 2 years since you sold the M2 comp. I guess it makes sense, I traded in my M2 in December after 2 years of ownership.

[@CarMadDad]

How time flies chap 😂

[@JohnGuidetti751]

Check blackcircles for tyres. Much cheaper than what you quoted.

[@CarMadDad]

Noted

[@Denno220]

Couldn’t see anything on the net about PCR Porsche that you mentioned for servicing, where are these based?

[@CarMadDad]

My bad chap - It’s PMR in feckenham

[@Denno220]

@@CarMadDad thanks man!

[@CarMadDad]

They were quality chap 👌

[@user-bd6nm7du2j]

Interesting as a Macan owner here. Curious though , do you have an extended warranty on your car, if not, why not? Or, can you tell us what warranty you do have? Thanks in anticipation.

[@CarMadDad]

Hi there My warranty is still on the car until later this year - will likely extend

[@markdann375]

Fairly sure extending Porsche warranty is out of scope if you service the car out of OPC. That was my understanding anyway!

[@CarMadDad]

Think you might be correct 🙄

[@user-bd6nm7du2j]

We have all scheduled servicing done at OPC Reading as per service schedule/book. Any other work picked up on vehicle inspection , i check with OPC to if it's ok for Autofarm to to it. It's always ok'd by OPC Reading. They aren't overly happy but understand i may save 500 quid depending on the work carried out. All work carried out at Autofarm is with genuine Porsche parts! @markdann375

[@VRPCR]

That is actually really rather reasonable all things considered.

[@CarMadDad]

Agreed

[@tonyduffy9746]

I find your insurance costs - very hard to believe. My M240i is costing me £1100 and I’m late 50’s with clean license - can anyone explain pls

[@CarMadDad]

Postcode / previous convictions / provider / excess - all insurance is underwritten based on a multiple of various specific circumstance

[@Sunny-nz5bi]

Which watch is that..?

[@CarMadDad]

Tudor GMT

[@krs5259]

that's pretty cheap and £800 on a car like that really cheap# It's an expensive car so its not like an astra etc where you can order cheap things like brakes etc off the net lol

[@CarMadDad]

There is that 😛
