I have bought and sold a few 964's and made money when the market was crazy a few years back. Also owned a 2010 997.2 Sport Classic which I drove 8000 miles in and sold for double what I paid new. My 991.2 Carrera S is the first Porsche I've specced new from the factory just the way I want it. I will use it every day, enjoy every mile and all in the knowledge that it will be worth half what I paid for it when I come to sell it. That's the price you pay for buying a standard model new. The Sport Classic became an asset and as nice as it was to make a big return on that car, I didn't enjoy having to worry about putting miles on her. It's much more fun to forget about resale value and simply enjoy driving your car as often as possible.

As long as there is more where that came from I'm not worried about it.

When I turned 16 and got my first car, a 1956 VW Beatle, my dad told me a car was the most expensive thing I would ever own. I'm 62 now, and haven't found any evidence to disprove his statement. I can afford my 2016 base Cab, but it still seems like a hell of a lot of money to spend on a car. Furthermore, I leased it because I want the option to return it. The 30 month lease will have cost me approximately 50K when it expires in August of 2018. This is my second Porsche, and I have loved every minute inside these two cars. Is the love greater than the expense? Right now it's a wash. Time will tell.
