Despite the nice appearance, it is highly likely that the car has deferred maintenance and/or repairs that previous owner skipped.
Thus, it should be fully expected to spend $2K per year (each and every year) on a 20-yr old high performance sports car.
If this doesn't work for you, then maybe an older German sports car isn't your best choice.
However, if you
are willing to put in that $2K per year, I can guarantee that you'll get a car that will absolutely thrill you every time that you get into the car.
You'll wonder why you waited so long to buy a Porsche and you will come to the realization that the driving experience alone is worth 2 or 3 times what you paid. Seriously, you are buying one of the most exciting and best handling sports cars in the world for 1/3 the price of a new Honda - how is that not a great value?
