I have to say without specifically knocking ferrari as i have some trouble with some of the things he was saying that my 911 has been one of the most diy friendly and cheaper of sports cars to maintain. As for his comparison to the $.37 a mile japanese car mileage, my recently deceased 30zxtt cost twice as much per year to maintain as the 911 but again, that is due to ease of maintanence on the porsche. if you need to take your car to the dealership to have the battery replaced or to shell out 260 to replace an o2 sensor then the porsche ownership will be pricey as well. What level of involvement in maintanence are you willing to commit and what is your time worth? My father has an 87 carrera and does absolutely none of the work on it himself but budgets 1500 a year for his less that 5k miles of driving and keeps the car mint. just my personal experience though.
