Analyzing the value of each Porsche model after 5 years: The model that will depreciate the least is the 911.

Five-year depreciation rate: The 911 came out on top, while the Taycan came in last.

Overseas media outlets have analyzed the five-year value retention rate of various Porsche models based on data and market trends from American publications CarEdge, Kelley Blue Book, and AutoTempest.

As a result, based on sales performance across five Porsche models, it was observed that more traditional models, particularly those with manual transmissions and naturally aspirated engines, tended to maintain high value in the used car market.

The depreciation rate for each model over a five-year ownership period showed that the 911 had the best rate, while the Taycan came in last.

Well, the result was pretty much what I expected...

Incidentally, the depreciation amounts in this analysis are calculated based on multiple grades within each model range, but "limited editions" and "extremely rare models" have been excluded to prevent data bias.

Now, let's look at the five-year depreciation rate for each Porsche model (※Just to reiterate, the information and results used in this data analysis are for the United States).

porsche 911

Depreciation rate over 5 years: Approximately 15%

As expected, the 911 has the highest depreciation rate among all Porsche models.

While it's easy to see that rare models like the GT3 RS, Dakar, and Sport Classic tend to retain their value well, even the base models maintain their value better than most other sports cars on the market.

Among them, the hardtop manual transmission model is usually the one that retains its value the best.

Hmm, I thought the convertible would be more popular, but the data shows that the hardtop manual transmission version tends to retain its value better.

Porsche 718 Boxster/Cayman

Depreciation rate over 5 years: Approximately 25.1%

The Porsche Boxster and Cayman have finally come out of production.

Although the base model four-cylinder version wasn't particularly popular, it reportedly maintains a higher value than most other sports cars.

If low depreciation is your top priority, a 6-cylinder model with a manual transmission, like the GTS 4.0, is considered the safest option.

Porsche Macan

Depreciation rate over 5 years: Approximately 40.1%

The Macan lineup ranges from entry-level four-cylinder models to the twin-turbo V6 GTS, and on average, even five-year-old used cars maintain the same price as a new car, 60%.

While it may not seem quite on the same level as the 911 or Boxster/Cayman, it's said to be above average for a luxury SUV.

Porsche Cayenne

Depreciation rate over 5 years: Approximately 47%

With its powerful V6, V8, and hybrid engines, the Cayenne boasts speed comparable to a sports car even in straight-line acceleration.

Due to its high initial purchase price, used Cayennes tend to depreciate in value faster than Macans.

However, since most luxury SUVs lose approximately 501 TP1T in value over five years, the Cayenne can be said to be performing exceptionally well within its segment.

It's only the fourth-best model in the Porsche lineup, so it's not bad at all compared to the overall market.

Porsche Taycan

Depreciation rate over 5 years: Approximately 55% to 60%

Now, among Porsche models, the Taycan ended up with the lowest depreciation rate.

The reasons are... well, there are probably many, but while the Taycan boasts overwhelming performance and advanced EV technology, it's not necessarily because it's a Taycan, but rather due to the overall decline in used car prices in the EV market in recent years, it has ended up having the highest depreciation rate in Porsche's lineup.

The residual value after 5 years may fall to around 40%.

The above summarizes the analysis results from overseas media in the United States.

Personally, I don't see Porsches as an investment product; I believe the best approach is to enjoy your favorite model in your own way.

That being said, it's also true that these cars have a high purchase price, and I think many people buy them with resale value in mind, so it might be interesting to look at this as one piece of reference data.
