I've been driving my car hard for three years now and have not had any issues with repairs (other than replacing coolant expansion tank). Its been very reliable. These are very well built cars that should last a long time if properly maintained. Prepare yourself though if something does break because you will pay more than most cars. Do you have someone near that specializes in working on Porsches? I'd think twice about relying on a typical shop to work on it. Also, if you are mechanically inclined you can save a lot of money by doing work yourself. Parts can be had for a substantial savings over the internet or at a few dealers that specialize in internet sales (Suncoast, Sunset Imports) as well as other vendors such as our sponsors. A lot of people are intimidated by even changing their own oil but there is so much good information and a willingness to help on this forum that there really is a lot you can do yourself. Good luck.
