Car subscription vs. car purchase

Where is the difference?


There is now a suitable mobility solution for every individual need. Would you like to own a new car? Then a car purchase is the right thing for you. Or would you prefer to be flexible and use a car for a limited period of time? Then you should think about a car subscription. In the following article you will learn everything you need to know about car subscription vs. car purchase Discover offers

Definition of term

  • Car subscription

    Today, mobility services must be one thing above all else: Flexible. A car subscription is characterized by the fact that you can use a selected model for an agreed term at a fixed monthly rate (excluding refueling and charging). This price includes all costs such as maintenance, repairs, insurance, registration and highway vignette. Porsche Bank's autoabo even gives you the freedom to change models on a monthly basis.
  • Car purchase

    If you want to drive a car for a longer period of time, the car purchase is the right solution. In this case, the car becomes your property after the purchase is completed. This entails the right to use it within the limits of the law, but also some obligations. In contrast to the car subscription, with the car purchase you have to take care of the maintenance, insurance and everything else yourself. Buying a car is usually worth it if you plan to really use it for a longer period of time, as the loss of value occurs very quickly.

For a better understanding, the following table will show the differences of car subscription vs. car purchase at a glance.

Service included | Charged

Compared to buying a car, the Porsche Bank autoabo includes all the services listed (except fuel and charging costs). This means that you do not have to worry about fixed costs such as insurance (liability), registration costs or the freeway vignette. The same also applies to maintenance costs such as the sticker check, summer and winter tires and tire changes. In addition, with the subscription you don't have to worry about loss of value. When buying a car, all the above services must not only be organized by the customer, but also paid for separately. In addition, when buying a car, it is not possible to change the model at regular intervals, but with the Porsche Bank autoabo it is.
