Porsches are not as reliable as most mainstream vehicles, particularly a very complicated Cayenne. They have more scheduled maintenance and are very complicated, eventually when something goes wrong it will be expensive to fix. You also are stuck taking it to a specialist shop or dealership, which will be more expensive and more difficult to find.

I loved my Boxster and my 996s, all are great cars that have been very reliable. But would the average person want to pay $1500 for a 60k service at the dealership? A used Porsche for a non-enthusiast buyer is a mistake. You have to get away from your enthusiast DIY perspective and think like a normal person who takes their car in for $25 oil changes at Jiffy Lube and would scoff at any more intensive maintenance.
