They are very expensive to maintain relative to value. Its very easy to spend 50% of a cars value on maintenance in three years if it is at the lower end of the market.

I own a GT, I'm not looking to buy. I'm making an observation that I think the values are decreasing and was interested to see if others thought the same

I wouldn't say easy, but certainly possible if you buy a bad one. Then again the GS isn't any better, and the same can be said about a gen1 996, a Bentley Conti/Flying Spur/Brooklands, Merc SL500, high spec Range Rover, or Audi RS4/5/6 or V10 S8 for the same sort of money.

+1 with you Paul.

The sentence, in my opinion, should read - "they can be very expensive to maintain..." But thats the same as any of the cars listed above and or lots of other vehicles.

You dont buy a V8 of any type without knowing about the consumable costs. They are like most things, a car.

So far my Porsche Boxster has cost me much more in the 4 months I've owned this car, the Boxster set me back a few grand in the same period.
