It's not overheating. But you drive a Porsche, don't look for bargains! If you had a Civic it's a different story. Part of owning a luxury item is affording the maintenance that goes with it.

I laugh when our dealer customers get a schmuck who buys a Porsche or a new BMW or Mercedes and then complains at all the prices of parts and services. Some people have no business being in the cars they are in! Just because someone has $600 or so a month to burn does not mean they can afford their car.

The way I look at it is that leasing is a great tax benefit for a business owner or in some cases makes sense to an individual too. But, I don't think a person has any business being in a car that they can't afford to pay for in cash if they needed to. Ofcourse this is general and not implying anything here, only making a point.

You bought a Porsche, spend the money on the proper equipment and don't look for shortcuts.
