What it cost to own a Porsche 993 Turbo

[@runejrgensen7048]

You keep saying the same things over, and over again. Come on.....make it interesting, please. Stop the random chatting...get to the facts Thank you. Regards from another 993 owner

[@pcalvinski]

TLDR: fast forward to 5:00. "$1000 over 4000 miles but hasn't done any real maintenance."

[@jjames2162]

Phil Calvin thank you

[@oibal60]

I've a 1996 993 C2 iris blue metallic, 66,000 miles, 6-speed manny tranny, varioram. No CEL, no oil leaks. I'm never selling it. BTW, I do all my own maintenance.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Awesome, hold onto it

[@cryptomaniacs5533]

Do a video on your warehouse. I'm up to 6 vehicles now and need to start thinking of secure off-site storage away from my house. It would be nice to see how you store the cars, keeping the tires from getting flat spots, charging the batteries, etc.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Good idea, I will work on that

[@fabjonjon]

Be glad you dont have half the vehicles under an oak tree. I dont want to pull a permit and put up a whitetrash looking carport but I dont want to shell out the cash for something nice when it will be unlevel, unconditioned, and skinny, meaning I still have to move a car out to get to another, and so on. I got a storage container for 1 and park the bike at office. Leaves me with three and no garage and too much nature. Seeing debris in my cowls makes me want to jump off a building. Tree sap gives me nightmares. Oh well.

[@34hockeyplayer]

Another great video, Glenn. You're lucky you bought that car before prices went up. Good find.

[@siphotos3282]

You have one of my favourite cars of all time , the 993 turbo is amazing. The colour is what I would get too if not black.i subbed for this car .

[@fabjonjon]

I bought a cheap 993 1995 for 25k cash in 2009. Fast foward 7 months...7500 bucks in maint. Rear breaks, rear tires, two cats, and plugs and wires, and fluids changed. I went ahead and talked them into two more tire for free, a 500 dollars value with install. It had 70k miles on it. It still needed work but was drivable. One rainy day going to see a friend I made a decision to get T boned or steer towards a pole. I chose the pole...

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Sorry to hear. My car had $7,500 in maintenance just before I bought it from the previous seller. New brakes, tires, clutch, rebuild turbos. Been great and reliable since I have had it.

[@fabjonjon]

I have unfortunately been having some stinky luck. I know what you mean about rotating cars but on a smaller level. Maintaining is all I do. The more money you have the easier it is to save money and or make better buys. 2014 Focus St 2014 Is 350 1987 944 Turbo 2004 Rx 330 2006 R6

[@Vreracing]

I had one for 2 years. It was a well maintained car with 40K miles on it. If something breaks it can be pretty expensive to repair. I had to replace the steering rack and work on the A/C. I really liked it, but I think the title of this video is misleading.

[@oibal60]

Thanks for this.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

My pleasure!

[@mariodesmo]

As an engineer with nearly 40 years of experience, I don't believe that 3 years and 4,000 miles (on one car) is enough a sample size of data (your experience with this car) for an accurate indication of cost (reliability) for all similar cars. The sample size is just too small. This one car hasn't been driven and/or used enough to make an accurate prediction of overall cost of ownership. You can analyze short term data, for short term reliability and cost results on multiple cars, ut you simply can't draw a long term conclusion for a particular model from a short term data sample size of one car. Good Luck!

[@GlennsCarCollection]

You are correct, it is not enough of a sample size, just my ownership cost so far. We will see what the future brings. Thank you for subscribing.

[@noobymcnoobs]

mariodesmo I have a 911 and do 5,000 miles a year. And it is costing between £800 and £2,000 a year in maintenance mainly on wear and rear items as it's an d car and things wear out if you use them.

[@noobymcnoobs]

mariodesmo it's probably also worth pointing out the value has gone up by about the same as the costs so if I ever sell it the car will have been free except for fuel and insurance.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

i love free cars

[@Nation010]

My feelings exactly, so this observation (of video) does not represent real world cost advice... Maybe good for people who do similar type mileage in same number of years, but for some one doing 2-3k miles a year then that would be useful info.

[@shaunwoods1591]

Hi Glenn, thanks for sharing your great car. Maybe I've miss it, but how much did you pay for this car?

[@seang2822]

Glenn, thanks for sharing. I am not sure you have the numbers right. 993 turbo was made from 95-98. So more than twice the numbers you state were made and still on roads worldwide. They are super reliable and am not sure why you say window switches go easily. Also pretty sure the original 993 turbo wheels are hollow spoke too. I mean all of this in the nicest way.. and not aiming to be offensive. I love these cars and have had one since 2009..so agree these cars are cheap to maintain if you get a good one.. I am not sure about $300 a year though. I think it's more like $1,000 a year on average if you want to allow for routine maintenance and replacement of wear and tear items.. tires, belts, wipers, rubber hoses, clutch, ac service etc...plus the odd repair and get them done at a specialist or dealer with oem parts. Anyways good luck.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Hi Sean. the years and production numbers I was quoting was United States production numbers. Great comments, thank you for subscribing.

[@healthynewyourecipes2678]

Great video with some great info.

[@johnkokinis2313]

Excellent car. Can I ask you how the ac is on this car? I have an older air cooled and the ac is kinda bad. I’m hoping to get a 993 turbo down the road. Thanks.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

its fine. Nothing like a modern car but much better than 80"s 911's. I drive it all summer no problems

[@rafaellastracom6411]

It´s the one to have, definitely.

[@Bluegrana19]

whats it like driving on the freeway at about 60-70 MPH? is the RPM over 3k or under?

[@GlennsCarCollection]

I believe it is just over 3k at 60-70 mph

[@MrPaulmclaren722]

Front tyres back tyres make ya mind up !

[@lKingRichardl]

This is supposed to be about the cost of ownership and you spend the first 3+ minutes (I didn't watch the whole video) telling us things we already know about the car and how little you've driven it.

[@wills2954]

It would of been nice to know how much you got it for..

[@GlennsCarCollection]

I bought it in 2013 for $60k

[@gky3019]

964 3.6, makes 355hp not 320hp. 320 hp is only the 3.3!

[@GlennsCarCollection]

yes, thanks for the correction

[@KidDynamite6]

had a 08 911 new in 08 when i was in my early 20s but now im saving for a beautiful example of a 993 turbo told my girl after our forth home sale next year im getting on i told a little white lie said theyre 80k lol this morning she said hey your full of shit a “nice one” is 165k i said i was only talking about the front half babe lol my uncle bought a black one new in 97 exact to the one in bad boys for 106k and he sold it in 2012 for 132k it has 2100 miles on it that example today would be worth over 250 today i know ill get one soon and im never driving it jus once or twice a month

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Great comment, hope you get one soon

[@Tracks777]

Good! Keep it up!

[@GlennsCarCollection]

thanks, and thank you for subscribing

[@teamsleepnine]

come on man....i know 993 turbo is collectables...but,auto 993 turbo with 6 owners,it seems you're trying too hard to justify the the car...

[@cosmiccloud9382]

This is why I hate Porsche, the 1 time they made a decent design was only for 2 short years, then went to total shit after that! Porsche 0 Ferrari 10, great job Marenello

[@cosmiccloud9382]

The 993 is the best body style from Porsche 911. Unfortunately Porsche only made a few and the generations that followed were overly bubbly and bulky looking, hideously ugly. I’d love a 993 but I’m not gonna pay the price they’re asking lmao fuck that, are you kidding...180K for the turbo model, no thanks. I’ll get a Ferrari

[@censorshipBS]

Funny that, how they don't cost much to run when you don't drive them, what a revelation!

[@danzofartz3238]

tons of bad facts.

[@jasondolger4226]

wow.. boring.........
