The Porsche ownership course
Buying, owning, selling and upgrading a Porsche: a complete course from the people who do it every day, with real market data.
This is a complete course on Porsche ownership, from choosing your first one to selling it and buying the next. It is built on two things: what the HBi Auto team sees buying, inspecting, servicing and selling Porsches every week, and 911 Tracker, which follows 10,741 Porsches by VIN with 9,491 verified US sales.
Every model page shows what that car really sells for, what moves the price, what to look for and the maintenance it needs. The tools (a Porsche finder, a maintenance planner, a pre-purchase checklist and the cost calculators) work on any phone.

Shopping for your first Porsche?
Start with chapter 1. Use the finder to see what your budget buys, then open the model line and work down to the model.
Just bought one?
Go to chapter 2, enter your car in the maintenance planner and see what is due.
Find your Porsche
Set your budget and what matters. Every model shown sold for a median at or under your budget in the last 24 months on 911 Tracker.
The finder uses 911 Tracker sales, so it covers the 911, Boxster, Cayman and hypercars. For the Cayenne, Panamera, Macan and Taycan, open their guides.
Written by the 911 Buyers and HBi Auto team in Mocksville, NC. Market numbers come from 911 Tracker's VIN-checked US sales and say what they are based on; maintenance intervals say where each one comes from. This course is general information, not an inspection, an appraisal or legal or tax advice.
