My two cents worth, Porsche cars are very dependable when given good care. With that said, nothing on a Porsche is cheap except the air in the tires, so the old adage is true "you have to pay to play".

This is not a car that is designed to be used as a large cargo hauler, family mini van or anything other than to take two people and and some kit on an adventure. It is in short, a luxury item, a car you buy because you want what it can deliver. IF you are spending an uncomfortable amount of money to buy this, and repairs scare you it may not be the car for you.

My 98 had 20K more miles than this car and was running at the same level as yours is today. I put close to $8000.00 in parts alone into the car to make sure I could trust the operation where ever I went. I did the work so there was no labor costs added in. In short, I wanted the car for what it offers, top down crisp enjoyable driving experience and it was a treat to me for the reason I work.

Personally, I would have no problem buying a car in this condition. Good luck with your decision.
