Default final thoughts on buying the Z instead of...

As I've posted, after trading the 09' Z in December of 2014, I began to miss it almost right away. By February, I knew I wanted a sports car again. Before settling on another Z, I played around with maybe a used Porsche Boxster or even a Cayman. But, to stay in the 25 to 28K ballpark, I had to find models that were older but not too many miles (20 to 50k). I found many nice examples in that price range but old. Then I researched common problems and fixes. No way would I be able to afford one with the high cost of maintenance even if nothing went wrong. Service, repairs, all of this was much more expensive than I had imagined. When I found a 2015 base with only 2900 miles for $25.600, the choice was obvious. Now I am glad I took to time to check into costs of keeping on the road the cars I was considering.
