According to supercar finance experts Magnitude Finance, the sports cars are now commanding a premium of around £800,000 on the used-car market. That’s the equivalent of about $1.05 million, which means that a used 911 R can cost as much as $1.3 million.
At least that’s what Tim Marlow, head of Magnitude Finance, says after talking to several Porsche specialist dealers: "They confirmed the cars are commanding close to £1 million but they can’t list them at this amount," he added, suggesting that the 911 Rs are sold through deals that are taking place behind closed doors.
