This surpasses any previous January to September results. Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicle sales also achieved a best year-to-date result with 2,715 units reported, an increase of 16% over the same period in 2022.
"We are delighted to end the third quarter of the year with our best sales figures to date," said John Cappella, President & CEO, Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd. “Fittingly, among the models who achieved stellar results is our sportscar icon, the 911, which happens to have marked its sixtieth anniversary last month.”
