Who daily drives their 986?

Initial cost is a lot less, does that get eaten up by the multiple $500-$800 fixes

Thanks

Generally speaking, the youngest one you can afford will be your best bet. More likely to be better maintained and less worn, and if you're not particular to the styling of the 986 over the 987, then you've got even less to decide on. Spend the money up front on a younger car (and a PPI, always) and you'll be better off.
