Like most of the forum members, I agree that you should wait until you are in a financial position to afford the maintenance that will be neccesary if you purchase an older model porsche. Honestly, if you have to worry about finding the money to repair your car, you are just not going to enjoy it.

In terms of which model to purchase, of course get the boxster. Used 911's seem to be the most reliable older model. I had a 1985 928S a few years ago. I loved the car, but what a piece of sh--t! I could have leased a new Boxster for the money I put into this car each month. Stay away from 928's. They are very expensive to keep and drink gas like a large SUV.

We live in a society of immediate gratification. There's nothing wrong with saving your money and living within your means. That is unless you listen to Obama. He'll tell you that you can have anything you want!
