http://porschedealer.com/pfs/ http://porschedealer.com/pfs/ You could easily lease two including insurance, registration, and maintenance. I don't think the added flexibility of being able to swap your 718 for a Cayenne when you need to haul furniture (or have more than two people) is worth it.

Or maybe just slum it and buy a new Touareg as an extra utility beater.

It’s not clear that’s true. Leases don’t typically cover other costs like insurance. Also this seems like it might not have the 2 to 3 year long commitments, which can really really drive down the apparent, if not actual cost of a lease.

  Particularly the deposit/down payment.

  The linked page puts leasing a 718 Boxster at ~$1400 a month on a 24 month lease. There is no way that the additional taxes, title, license, insurance and maintenance will cost more than $600 a month. Yes, there is a long-term commitment, but you can get a a lot of car for $2000 a month, all-in. So it would be cheaper to lease a boxster as the primary vehicle, and, when you need one, just rent a truck over a weekend or whatever.

    The commitment makes a big difference in the price. Want a 718 with a 30 year lease? If it existed the payment could be quite low. Porsche maintenance is also much more expensive than Toyota maintenance, to say the least. Even stuff you don’t do at the dealer, like tires, most people don’t want cheap tires on those cars. I can’t say for sure how good of a deal it is or not, it would take some calculation and research, I just know it can’t be dismissed without a closer look. There is value in short term, all inclusive subscription plans, it’s just a question of what the real premium nets out to be, and the market demand to pay that premium.
