This is absolutely correct. Four out of every five Porsche-only independent shops that I contact won't even touch my son's 944 Turbo. None of their tech's known anything about trouble-shooting a pre-OBDII car, the parts are very hard to find, and the repair expense is almost always unjustified based on the low value of the car.
