This seems to be a common ask for the 986 community from young drivers. Here's my experience, my box was very dependable. It only had a break down once in 6 years and 55k miles and I was able to limp it home.

BUT it was a $10 dollar part that I had to order online and it took a couple days to diagnose the problem.

I did a lot of the preventive replacement parts before they caused issues and that maybe why I had so few break downs.

Older cars means more chances little parts like a fuel pump relay have seen their last days.
My feeling on the 986 is it's a great second fun car but to depend on it as your sole car might be asking a lot of an almost 20 year old German Sports car.
