Unless you can truthfully put a bumper-sticker on it that says "My other car is also a Porsche", don't bother.

Talk me out of a Porsche?

Originally posted by yasockie View PostI have some reasonable ways to invest my savings - BTL property (with various restrictions and taxes upcoming and possible property crash), (negative yielding) bonds, ISAs.
But the most reasonable one is buying a Porsche.
If I go second hand I can pretty much buy outright and have some money left over for the allegedly expensive repairs.
My work does not depend on commuting by car, so I think if it did break down, I can afford for it to be in service for some time.
Other than the above any downsides? Any better investment?"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Go for it. Don't get it serviced at a main dealer unless it's new and they've included some sort of package.Comment

Don't buy a 911 if it's a 996 or 997 (non turbo) before you do some research on RMS or IMS failures, or the cylinder lining problems those engines have.
A 911 out of warranty is a potential money pit if you are one of the unlucky ones.Comment
