Most reliable Porsche long term?

[Skrapmot]

80's 911 is the most bulletproof porsche I know of. Easy to work on and if you don't live in a really hot climate drive really well all year round.

Yes except for a finicky fuel injection, ignition module that will short and leave you stranded, fluky and unreliable emission control devices, essentially non-existent climate control that is 1950s technology... and oil leaks.

Even a venerable 996 GT3 suffers from coolant leaks that require engine removal and re-welding all the joints in the system. Oops!

Every car has issues and if you go to the appropriate car forum you will learn about them. On the 986 forum we learn about it's issues. Few cars of any make are more reliable than the 986 Boxster with a few well known exceptions that have well understood solutions.
