^I agree with you on that. Not like we're talking about a 500hp Corvette Z06 here. I've driven a Cayman S at 8/10ths on public roads (yay fun test drive) and I can assure you that its quite fun and not difficult to do. Nothing like a video game here. Loads of sensory inputs, and it'll put a smile on your face for the rest of the day.

As for buying a used Porsche, all I can say is, Make sure you have cash ready for parts. Porsche parts are very expensive. When you need a battery, or a set of tires, or anything for that matter, get ready to bust out the wallet. I didnt buy used, but I worked for a major Porsche dealer for a few years and was friends with the parts and service guys. I used to pay cost for parts like batteries and tires and that made me cringe a few times. I used to hear about customer bills and see what the cost was on these things. I would not own one used unless I could afford to pay the cost of maintenance. Just my 2cents. Anyhow, good luck to you.

I'm curious to know why tires cost extra for a Porsche? Once you own a vehicle you are free to put on whatever tires you want. Just because you drive a Porsche doesn't mean you pay extra. When I was comparing maintenance costs between my S2000 and a Cayman S a set of 4 tires for the Cayman cost around $200 more altogether. Not really a big deal if you ask me.
