The only thing you pay for with the increased price is better materials and for the name.

Porsches are just like Apple Iphones, they are over priced for what you get. There are tons of other phones out there that has similar features for less.

It would be different for me if I was filthy rich. If I was rich then I wouldn't mind buying a Porsche.

Well maybe not filthy rich to own a low end Porsche but even then, the maintenance itself is over priced. You cannot just consider the price of the car. You have to consider the cost of everything else too. Unless you do it yourself for everything then it may be a bit different.
