Mike,
Sorry bud - just re-read my post and it reads like i'm having a go at you.
Not the case, just offering the alternative to the financial - hope you were not offended.

"JD if he is under any illusion that he won't get corn holed on the re-sale of the Dangermobile".


That's an understatement. I'd be prepared to get it cornstalk and all !

I don't look at it relative to the current value..if I did I would have been dumping a car that is still both a head-turner and track/autox performer long ago. Due to excessive supply the current value of your Porsche will always be low. but the costs to enjoy these cars will never scale down with depreciation and of course there is no escaping the high cost of Porsche maintenance. So ANY significant repair cost is a bad financial decision unless you find that mint Porsche from the little old lady in Pasadena. And personally, selling my Boxster S for current value would require that I spend more to gain comparable performance / feedback and bar-setting in its category. So I'm not really gaining anything that way either and I'm still facing the same mass produced depreciation.
