These cars don't have to be a money pit. There are posters here who buy Boxsters and don't put any more than $250 a year into them for oil changes the first two years. A lot if it has to do with how the car is used.
We just have to keep in mind that Porsches are boutique sports cars. The suspension parts don't last as long as a passenger car and some of the parts in the early 986 models were flimsy and made a cheap thin plastic.
One must have a strong stomach and a supportive wallet to own a Porsche for a long period of time.
The guys who just buy one because it's the next cool car in a line of brands they want to own usually buy new or lease new, or buy an older one and trade it after a couple of years because of the maintenance and repairs.
