I can't speak for the 2007 Porsche 911, but I did some research on a 2008 Cayman S. I only drive my Z about 6000 miles a year (I prefer my Yamaha FZ8). Here's what I found out; the Porsche is cheaper!
  • With Geico, my insurance is $350 less, yearly.
  • Factory recommended maintenance intervals at dealers in the DC area, about $1000 less over five years.
  • Resell value higher by more than 10%.
  • Better (real world) gas mileage.
  • Longer factory and extended warranty.

Unscheduled repairs would be the wildcard, I suppose. Doesn't matter anyway, my wife totally vetoed the idea .
