You only get one go around and can't take anything with you. I agree. I received some advice from a member on here I believe when I was looking at a new car " A few years down the road, You won't remember how much money that it cost you. But you'll remember that you bought what you wanted and it enjoyed it while you had it". If you decide you don't like it, you can get rid of it, but if you pass on it, who knows, you may never get another chance. Maybe it's a bit extreme, but tomorrow anyone of us could get divorced(well not me, cause I'm not married), or whatever, and never know what it was like to have what you wanted... Quote Selected

To purchase a new toy or not to..... (Purchased!) Reply #7 – June 19, 2013, 07:47:42 PM Word of advice, Porsches are extremely expensive to maintain. Most everything has to come from the dealership (most aftermarket places don't carry anything for them because there's no volume), and Porsche dealerships tend to act like they're doing you a favour by selling you parts. They do hold their value, though, (relatively speaking) so it's pretty hard to lose money on one unless you get swamped in a maintenance nightmare that hasn't been taken care of. I've never cared for 911's, but I'd totally rock a Cayman if I never, ever had to work on it (meaning I would have to have enough money that I could pay somebody else to worry about it while I worked on my "fun-to-work-on" classic cars and 4X4's) Quote Selected

If you have to ask how much it costs to maintain you cant afford the car!! Just me. I love Porsche owners they do not care how much a repair costs.With out a question in my mind the Porsche is one of the best cars in the world. Quote Selected
