Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion · Original poster
Later water cooled cars often have higher purchase price, but lower running costs.
Leading evidence: 'Run costs' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run costs' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It's quite surprising the variation in cost of V.ED. on different 911 models.
It's a relatively small cost in terms of owning a 911 with petrol, insurance and serving on top, but it adds up.
Classic airccoled are affordable (£345).
Pre-2001 watercooled are affordable (£345)
Water cooled 2000 to pre-2006 are reasonable (£415).
997s are expensive with Gen1 (£735) worse then Gen2 (£710).
991.1's are reasonable (£415).
991.2 (£500) and 992.1 (£510) are OK
By model:
3.2 Carrera £345
964 C2 £345
964 turbo £345
993 C2 £345
993 turbo £345
996.1 C2 (2000) £345
996.2 C2 £415
996 turbo (2003) £415
996 turbo S (2005) £415
997.1 C2S (2005) £415
997.1 C2 (2006) £735
997.1 C2S (2006) £735
997.1 GT3 (2007) £735
997.1 GT3 RS (2007) £735
997.1 turbo (2007) £735
997.2 C2 (2009) £710
997.2 C2S (2009) £710
997.2 GT3 (2010) £735
997.2 GT3 RS (2010) £735
997 turbo S (2011) £735
991.1 C2 (2012) £415
991.1 C2S (2011) £415
991.1 turbo (2014) £710
991.2 turbo (2016) £415
991.2 turbo S (2017) £500 (£190+£310 due to list over £40k)
991.2 T C2 (2018) £500 (£190+£310 due to list over £40k)
991.2 GTS (2017) £500 (£190+£310 due to list over £40k)
992 C2S (2020) £510 (£190+£320 due to list over £40k)
Earlier aircooled cars often have higher entry prices and maintenance costs.
Later water cooled cars often have higher purchase price, but lower running costs.
996's still seem to the 911 sweet spot for those on a budget.
No real point, may be of use to some.
Good work.
If you put it into an exportable spreadsheet, backward compatible software of course to Windows 3.1, all of the 993 owners will buy a copy.
If it's cheap
That's really useful. Thanks.
However, I feel like just spending another £20k to avoid paying over £700 seems a bit cutting off my nose to spite my face.

The 2017 and 2018 cars you listed. The extra expensive car tax will have expired now so only £190
Wondered that!

Yes strange I was discussing this with SWMBO 18 991.2 turbo s is £190 and 07 997.1 turbo is £735. No fair 991.2 turbo s owners laughing all the way to the bank!
I'm sure when Labour look at all this I can see some 'uplifts' on current over £40k vehicles, and the loss of the rolling 40yr nil VED/MOT historic category, especially as some 80s cars were better built and could become cheap daily drivers.
It's definitely a factor that I consider when purchasing cars, since I am fed up with giving the gov lots of tax. Yes, that means I sometimes pay more for a newer, or older car, which isn't mathematically sound, but due to my previous experience and distaste of dealing with HMRC etc.
A fair few 911s will be taken off the road for the winter, potentially saving road tax. I have taken mine off the road, but have always been too stupid (busy) to actually get around to declaring SORN, so no benefit for me.

Yeah, my ‘18 991.2 GT3 was £190 when it was due in May, surprised!
My 4.7. Maserati Granturismo v8 £225 was £600+ but has now dropped down
My 997 3.8 GTS £700+
Makes no sense to be but hope the fix isn’t just to put everything up!

Why is the 997 so expensive to tax?
It’s now old enough to benefit of a low tax, right?

What do you mean? Big engine cars from 2006 to about 2016 have a £700+ VED.
