I think what people were alluding to, besides some keeping their Porsches as garage queens, was perhaps that running costs for Porsches are pretty high. Yes they're durable vehicles (more so than any other German car) but if you don't self perform maintenance it's not cheap. And the newer the Porsche the more complex it is, making it harder to self perform maint.
Yes - dealer wants ~400 for an oil change.

Example: Mobil 1 0W-40 is ~$45(9 quarts) add filter and O ring for another $12 and I can do my own in ~45 to an hour minutes drinking and having a cigar. If I wasn't partaking in sinful pleasures I could get it done in 20 minutes.
