I think the JP Morgan is pretty spot on. Someone that can easily afford a Porsche doesn't need to set aside $3000 a year for maintenance; they easily have that money available and it is a drop in the bucket in the scheme of their finances. Now, that person may choose to buy a used one because you don't get wealthy by pissing away money needlessly (especially if it is a toy), but they won't be trying to figure out if they can maintain or afford a used Porsche.
Note: there is a pretty well defined range of what mass produced cars cost to maintain yearly. It is pretty common sense that a newish Porsche is at the top of that range.
For me, it depends if my FR-S happens this winter. If it does, our next car will be whatever my wife wants. If it doesn't, an IS F sport will replace the leased Prius v Five in 3 years. 300h, 200t, or 350? Who knows. Depends what is out at the time.
