No offense taken. I'm fairly risk adverse when it comes to big purchases thus I researched 987.2s for months ans watched tons of YT videos and forum posts to get a sense of the problems, maintenance, ease of DIYin,g and costs.
Porsche, like BMWs, do wear out the soft chasiss parts quicker than an Asian or domestic make, that is for sure. But the tradeoff is that they are built better and are more fun to drive.
My 2016 M235 doesn't have a single rattle and I thought my M235 had thick sheet metal until I got the Cayman. The Cayman sheet metal feels three times as thick as the metal on my wife's 2020 4runner or my son's 2015 Outback.
