The cheaper to own statement was made based on residual value, the other cars, while costing the same will depreciate much faster then the porsche.

The oil change interval is around 10k miles, the others will be at 5k... the oil and filter do not cost twice as much as the other cars, so basic PM maintance will also be less.

I forgot to mention, of the two businesses I own, one is a high volume auto repair/tire shop, so working on the car is not an issue.
