What are the costs with Porsche 911?
Which AWD 911 are you looking at? The insurance will cost you big if it's the Turbo. Not so much for the Carrera 4 or Carrera 4S. While your age will push insurance up, a clean record can help keep it down. I'm an old guy and my normally-aspirated 911 (gone now) cost me no more to insure than my Subaru Outback.
Tires? I've never seen tires that cost $500 per tire. You CAN spend $1,200 to Piwis Tester II $1,500 per set of four. I race my 2005 911 Turbo S. I like Kumho Ecsta SPTs for track and street. $770 for a full set of four tires delivered to my front porch from tire rack.
The year 911 you're talking about will qualify for Certified Porsche used status, IF you buy from a dealer. This will extend your warranty for 2 additional years. It's well worth it to get this warranty. Regardless of whether you get a Certified car or not, insist on full documentation of all required maintenance. Check the Car Fax for a clean record.
Your 911's oil changes will run about $250. HOWEVER, you'll only do them every 15,000 miles or each year, whichever comes first. I tried to talk my dealership into doing them more frequently. "Why?" was their response. Put the Mobile 1 oil into the car, as called for, and do service per factory requirements. Over time, it's only a bit more expensive than maintaining any other car.
