How Old Are You?

I think if young people can afford a Porsche, and afford the much higher than average maintenance and insurance costs then go for it. You're only young once!

But I agree with Perfectlap, I hope the teens buying these cars realize that they might end up with a $2-3k repair bill, like a clutch replacement for instance. Especially, since the cheaper 986's for sale tend to be higher mileage.

Would you rather pour your hard earned money into a car or be saving it for a down payment, retirement, etc? Until you have a solid financial footing those are things worth serious consideration.

That said, I would probably go bankrupt before I sold my 986, I love it more than should be legal.

It brings up the whole question of "What is the purpose of your life"

To enjoy and experience everything your ever dreamt off?

To help everyone else achieve their dreams?

To produce more offspring and work hard to build resources that you can give to your offspring so they can achieve their dreams?

I think that kids that manage to realize their dreams early (A Porsche) are going to live a very fulfilled life as they will not be found dreaming about what they want, or who could give it to them but would rather go out and get it themselves.

Kudo's to you young folks for going out and getting it!!!
