Yes, $6,100 may seem like a bargain, but consider this:
A cheap, old Porsche (with 135k miles) will require a lot of repairs/maintenance going forward, thereby adding significantly to your cost of ownership. Depreciation + repairs/maintenance + insurance = total cost of ownership. Fortunately, depreciation isn't so much of an issue with an older car (but repairs and maintenance are!)
A more expensive, newer Porsche (with much less mileage) will have less repairs/maintenance costs going forward (especially if there's warranty coverage), but the total cost of ownership will still be considerable because: Depreciation + repairs/maintenance + insurance = cost of ownership. And oh boy, the depreciation will be much higher!
No matter what the numbers say, however, the joy of owning/driving a Porsche is hard to put a price on. And that's why we buy them...they make us happy, eh?
