Wanted to buy a used porsche, now afraid

Test drive samples of both & you can make your own determination whether they are cars in the same ballpark. We're biased probably, but I don't think there is really a comparison between the 2 imo. I've not had any major issues in 4 yrs & 5k miles per year (like you're planning). I'm no mechanic at all, but to save money I've bought the self-help book, asked q's on this forum, & enjoyed doing work over the winter months to maintain the car. My vote is buy the p-car with a proper preinspection. Best of luck whatever you choose to do.
