I bought all my previous Porsches used, for much the same reason you bought used Ferraris; they are much cheaper that way. So the CS was my first new Porsche. There were no used Caymans in '05, so I had to order a new one, and pay MSRP. The good part was that I got a brand new car with the colors and options I wanted. There are much better deals on new cars now, so that's the way I'd go again if I had it to do over. I've kept all my previous Porsches for 6 years or more, but if you plan to sell within a couple of years, you might consider buying used instead.
