People who are considering a water-cooled Porsche with high mileage should bear in mind where in the country the bulk of the car's mileage occurred.
These cars are reliable but were not engineered for year round, four season long-term durability. And the cost of repairs do not scale down with age.

Mine is only driven in summer...maintenance is pricey but what a great car when it's running great!
