Holy shit no way?
I will admit they are over priced but then again I bought my car knowing they were. Would I of liked it if the pricing was lower, shit yeah i do! I would think the biggest profits though would be from the 911 variants and Cayennes(especially since they share the VW platform). One reason why some enthusiasts buy the cars is for the name and what that name represents say for example what other company has accomplished such a list of wins:
Makes and Team World Championship 14
Long Distance World Championship 8
IMSA Supercar-Series 3
German Racing Championship 6
European Hill Climbing Championship 20
Formula 1 Driver-World Championship (McLaren with the engine designed and built by Porsche for TAG) 3
Formula 1 victories (McLaren with the engine designed and built by Porsche for TAG) 25
Formula 1 victories (together with the victory in Rouen in 1962) 26
Daytona (24 Hour Race) 20
IMSA Supercar-Race (USA) 15
Le Mans (24 Hour Race) 16
Sebring (12 Hour Race) 17
Targa Florio 11
Rallye Monte Carlo 4
Paris-Dakar Rallye 2
Of course others buy it for the name not giving a shit about what the company has accomplished as per racing...example: Big chested MILF of a soccer mom driving in a Cayenne.
