I agree with the ego bit, especially for first-time new Porsche buyers. Somebody pays $$$ for the brand new Porsche of their dreams - special orders the options, etc. That person takes great care of the car, gets all of the service done, and puts minimal miles on it. 7 years on and their $80K car has got to be worth more than 29K, right??? wrong.

And think about what Porsche charges for options. Out-dated tech, big$$$ wheels with a now outdated style, yellowing carbon fiber accents. ouch. There are a whole lotta P-cars out there that were 100K new that can be had for less than 25K now.
