Then we go back to value vs image and how much of each do buyers care about.

Parts/repairs/maintenance on Ferraris and McLarens are a lot more expensive than Porsche and they're a lot less reliable, that's why. You can drive a 911 for 60k miles without it breaking a sweat but 20k miles is high mileage on the Ferrari or McLaren. They're also very, very different experiences, and many people don't live near a dealer or good indy shop for the exotics which can make ownership a royal PITA if something goes wrong.
That said, prices for everything are way up. A new Purosangue is $500k, a 296 is $400-500k, etc. I'd say the prices for new Ferrari/McLaren have shot up even more than Porsche. Isn't a new 750S pushing $500k too?
