Agreed!!! I have a friend who bought a slightly used '07 911 S two years ago. It was in pristine condition with about 25k miles. It really looked brand new and only had one previous owner. I drove it a few times and it was Ok but I'm not a Porsche guy so I wasn't blown away. Anyway, it had no warranty and the intermittent problems started about a month later. It had starting issues and a multitude of electronic gremlins. I knew about the problems first hand because I was his car goto guy since he wasn't car savvy.

After about $3k-4k of dealer repair costs later, some of the issues still persisted. He traded the car in a year later. He wasn't too impressed with his experience.

Not saying that they're all like that. Maybe my buddy got a lemon. Don't know. But, they are not as bulletproof as everyone makes them out to be and maintenance is definitely more expensive than normal. Just my 2 cents.
