Transcript

Here is how much you have to make in order to comfortably afford a brand new Porsche 911 Turbo S. My final build came out to a total of $237,030, with a 7% tax rate, $253,000. After putting 20% down, your total loan amount is $202,000 over five years, which brings your monthly cost to $3,800. The average annual maintenance cost is around $1,100, or $89 per month. The average annual insurance rate is around $2,400, or $202 per month. This brings your total monthly cost to over $4,000, which would be 10% of your monthly gross income, times it by 12 to get your annual gross income. So in order to very comfortably afford a brand new Porsche 911 Turbo S, you need to make a cool $494,000 a year.
