Funny man makes an interesting point though. What you save on maintenace in driving a new Porsche you lose hand over fist on depreciation, especially the really expensive Porsches like the Carrera Turbo.

And from what I've read on the Fcar forums, the track version Ferraris like the 430 Scuderia are whole other levels of durability above the fragile street version Ferraris. Which makes me wonder if a better comparison would be Scuderia(~$165K) vs. 991 TurboS (~$200K fully equipped) for daily driving. That Porsche is going to lose value by the buckets whereas the Ferrari not as bad.


Not that 360 vs. Boxster/Cayman is a good comparison in this video since that's garage queen vs. workhorse Porsche.
