Talk me out of a Porsche?

[yasockie]

I 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?

Do it do it do it. At the end of the day if you don't like it you sell it. They hold their value well so at the very worst you've lost a little bit of dosh but owned a Porsche. I can't believe for one minute you'll be getting rid of it.

Make sure you set yourself the spec and model and how much you want to pay. There aren't that many about so might end up travelling around looking for the right one. Worth sticking to it rather than making do with a spec or colour you didn't want. Because they are few and far between selling it if you really have to won't be hard either.

Get it done man. You only live once and don't want to be the richest man in the graveyard.

[woohoo]

Do it. You wont stop smiling, well until you have to pay for a service.

While women who did find a man who drove a Porsche more attractive as a date, she did not find him more desirable as a marriage partner for a long-term committed relationship"

Yup. The only con of having one is if you are married. The fanny will love it.
