All,

I own a gen 1 Porsche 986: aka the Porsche 914...
I am very interested in a 986 as a daily driver (even in the winter). I am attempting to get an idea of maintenance costs and what I can expect as a Boxter Owner.

The plan is to purchase the hard 'Coupe' Top, as well as a second set of wheels for winter tires.

I will probably be purchasing (what I am fortunate enough to find) a 986 that is <=$30,000 USD.

I would really appreciate any input on the maintencance costs as well as any reliability issues that I should know about.
