I have a 2000 996,
2001 986s, and a 968. I have had all three for more than 10 years. By far I have had more maintenance issues on the 968. And it has inly been driven 10k miles in 12 years, part of the problem I am sure.

I have spend more on the Boxster, but I had the full monty high perf upgrade done by Jake Raby. It was worth it, IMO. The car runs like stink, looks unobtrusive and is a blast to drive. I use the 996 tip as a daily driver and boxster as my fun car. 968 is my wifes. She just doesnt drive it much. I have allocate about an hour a week to that car just to keep the oil from coagulating. The 968 cab is a beautiful car and even tho 236 hp is nothing these days, it is still a dun car to drive on a sunday afternoon. I have been asked why I dont sell all three ans buy a newer porsche, and the reason I dont is that i have made the investments in all three so that failures rarely happen anymore and they aren't that expensive to maintain myself. I still have to use my indy for some things, but I have rarely seen him the last few years, even with 3 old porsches
