Monthly fixed expenses?
I would really like to know how much you need to spend on yours 964, even without driving it (taxes, parking, insurance mainly)
I will go first:
Parking space 150 U$S monthly (I have one parking space that belongs to my appartment and park the VW Jetta in there)
City tax: 100 U$S a month
Insurance: 135 U$S monthly
That means that I have 385 U$S each month even if I dont drive it at all
The value of Premium fuel/gas here is 1,13 U$S per liter
I think that maybe you guys from EEUU spend much less in these items than me, but I really don´t know, and it would be much appreciated to also know the comparative values in UK, Australia, NZ and other countries as well

You won't like this: Philadelphia, Pa, USA
PER MONTH
$0 - Parking, I have a 2 car garage + a driveway for 4 cars + unlimited (free) street parking
$30 - Insurance on the P-car (total for 3 = $1414/ year)
$3 - State Registration ($38/ year), that's my only tax
...and 93 Octane gas @$2.99 / gallon
So, when are you moving here?

Like a mastercard commercial
insurance: $100
parking: $0
Licensing: $7
Driving experience: priceless
Premium fuel per litre approx $1.15
All in CAD, but given the exchange rate these days, its almost at par with USD.

Paris costs...
Insurance $85
Parking $0
Including insurance (excluding fuel) I've only spent about $3000 over the last 2 years. I guess only a 911 addict can say "only" before the $3000!!!
These really are not expensive cars to run. I imported my car into France from the UK when I moved here a couple of years ago, and the value of the car jumped up by $12000!! Sweet! I've owned it for 7 years and it's now worth more than I paid for it plus all the money I've spent on keeping it in tip-top condition!!

Seattle-area fringe 'burb:
Insurance: $35/mo.
Parking: 3-car garage, it's only allowed one spot

Licensing: $15/mo., because it's a personalized plate... would be $7/mo. otherwise

As I suspected, having a Porsche here in the third world is more expensive than in the first, go figure.....it is the same with the other car brands too, the only way to spend less money will be to move to a house in the suburbs with a 2 car garage...

I've had kids on high-risk that I've paid more than that for.

I don't think of Argentina as being "third world" at all, Henry - and honestly (though I don't know how those figures relate to your overall cost of living), those numbers don't sound outrageous for living in an urban area, pretty much anywhere in the developed world. The parking cost compares pretty well to any major downtown in the US, and I'm not sure how your "city tax" gets assessed or what it's for, but depending on your coverage and driving record, your insurance could be a lot worse elsewhere.

The political situation here is rather volatile, the governement is against the middle class (because we are educated and we think for ourselves) and only rules because they give some money in programs to the poor and the very poor and so that they get their support

Barry, thanks for your kind remarks ,I assure you that Argentina is very much a third world country and it is going to be even worser seen that our rulers are trying to emulate the venezuelan dictator/clown.

sorryAll I can say is, "Uh-oh" rhymes with "Hugo".
Get in your Porsche and drive north, my friend - about 5,000 miles.
