How much did you spend to get them up to date? And how many miles did you put on both after you purchased them?

If it was approaching 10K a year then congrats. But if its much less then that's another story. Buying a beaten down Porsche to run once a week for limited mileage is quiet different than buying a 'bargain' Porsche you intend to drive every day for typical daily driver mileage.
