I had a porsche mechanic warn me on buying low milage cars, since the engine seals never get broken in properly, and they tend to have issues. I was told its not uncommon of having to replace various parts and seals in porsches and ferraris that are basically not driven at all. They never get the proper warm up and break in that is expected basically, in an older manual it states that once a week you should drive on a longer trip of 30 miles or so if you dont drive the car often, not sure if thats in the new one also.

It's big enough to take some friends (I got the Sedan) as well as to have fun in. Like the common theme you gotta pay to play. Lots of people buy these cars and the costs starts to kill them in the long run thats why they get rid of them.
I'm a glutton for punishment. I came from a E55 to a c63. Bring on the repair bills!
