Well, I gotta chime in and say Amen! to this statement. Paid $15,500 for mine and I've put $10k into it thus far and just last night I heard some loud squeaking from the front end... it's probably a control arm or something else in the suspension. I'll drop no less than $500 getting it repaired.

I'm so deep into this car money-wise I can't see bailing on it now. However, if I have another $3k repair year after another and another, the car will be sold to the highest bidder on Ebay!

I'm not giving up on Porsches though. I just bought one that was too old.
