Why with a limited income
would you take on a potential liability and reduce your savings by the cost of the car? Keep life simple and save would be my suggestion.
Having said that, my Boxsters have been very very reliable and have cost me very little...most years gas, oil change and insurance. But with any car that old, things can go wrong. And the gas is premium, the oil change cost is $60+ in filter and oil cost even if I do the labor and insurance costs are higher than if I only had a Honda CRV...my other car. I live about an hour away from any dealer. And I'd only want a mechanic experienced in Porsches working on the car, I've had horrible experiences with "foreign car" mechanics on other brand cars.
I lived in northwest Indiana, had a roadster there in the '60s. Not the most practical car for the climate.
I'm 67.
