Thanks to the massive success of the Cayenne SUV in America, there is usually a relatively cheap Porsche second-hand to be found near you, regardless of where you live. 

Of course, you may feel the 911 is the perfect Porsche for sale in the USA because the rear-engined sports car is the essence of Porsche - its evergreen popularity will ensure that there will almost certainly be a few 911 used cars to buy in your town or city. The cheapest, modern second-hand model that buyers can easily pick up for $10,000 or less is an old Porsche Cayenne. Older Porsche sports cars are not usually cheap, as they attain classic status and subsequently go up in value.

Things To Keep In Mind When Browsing Used Porsche Models for Sale

Porsches score well in terms of J.D. Power reliability and initial quality ratings, and the 991 generation 911 regularly topped around 90 out of 100. However, old Porsche models can become troublesome. Keep an eye on cooling systems, as plastic pipes can crack with age. Oil leaks are not uncommon either, so choosing a model with a valid maintenance history is going to be important. Take an expert along for a test drive if you’ve got a few cars on your shortlist - it will be easier to pick up on concerns or mechanical problems in person. 

Some common problems that have been reported include cooling issues, excessive engine smoke due to oil overfilling, and the notorious intermediate shaft bearing failure problems - always be sure to check recall history and that work has been done on the car you intend to buy. Shop elsewhere if the car doesn’t have a vehicle and service history.
