Who is the Porsche 911 for?
The Porsche 911 is a good fit for executives, collectors and enthusiasts who want the best in performance, comfort and prestige. Low, wide performance cars are best kept on good tarred roads. Plan routes carefully around ramps and potholes.
Fuel economy and running costs
Performance engines need premium fuel and use a lot of it. Running costs are part of the ownership experience.
Insurance, roadworthy renewal and routine servicing are the other regular costs. Budget for an oil change roughly every 5,000 to 10,000 km, depending on the oil grade and driving conditions.
Parts, servicing and resale
Parts are available in Ghana but cost more, and some items must be ordered from Dubai or Europe, so budget for that.
Use a specialist or authorised workshop with proper diagnostic tools; electronics need trained hands.
Well-maintained German cars with service records resell well, but neglected ones lose value fast.
Importing a Porsche 911 to Ghana
If you cannot find the right Porsche 911 locally, you can import one. Factor in the purchase price, shipping to Tema port, import duty and levies charged by the Ghana Revenue Authority, clearing fees and DVLA registration. Vehicles over ten years old attract extra penalties, so newer cars are often better value once they land.
Carboqs can handle the import for you, from sourcing the car abroad to clearing it at Tema.
