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.

Roughly speaking, do you know the difference in self perform maintenance between a '12 Cayman S versus a '14 Cayman S ? Or a '12 base Cayman versus a '14 base Cayman ? Also, over the long run I'd think a manual would be less costly then PDK , but I haven't heard of any real PDK stories of maintenance / failure / etc.
I should google the inherent advantages / disadvantages of the 2.7L Cayman versus the 2.9L Cayman. Less may be more.
