| Does joining a car club make financial sense? |
| |
| Most people don't look at the real cost to own one of these vehicles. Don't take our word for it, go to Edmunds.com and use their TCO (True Cost to Own) tool to calculate the cost to own a used 2006 Porsche 911. |
| |
| The estimate they use assumes you will use the car as a daily driver. If you are like most owners you won't use it as a daily driver, instead it is only driven on weekends and nice days. The estimated cost is over $82,000 for five years or $16,400 / year on average. |

| As a member of The Sports Car Club you could still drive for 30 days but for much less. |

| This is just an example of 30 days use. You can borrow the club cars as little as 3 days or as many as 365 days per year. |
