It can be rather expensive to KEEP a Porsche past the warranty period. Items such as brakes, clutch, engine mounts, etc. can add up very fast. I would recommend an extended warranty if you want to keep your new Porsche past the warranty period. Even though I make more money now during my peak earning years (57 yo), it still feels like things cost more than they used to (I know they do), even relatively. So maybe a Porsche isn't that much more to maintain than another good car.
