[10/10ths]

....I agree completely with him, and I also own one.

Check out that article.

FWIW, I paid a premium for mine back in 2015. Many would say I overpaid a lot for my car.

There is an old saying, “Buy the best and newest Porsche you can afford.”

I wanted a 986. The 2004 SE is the best and newest 986 they built.

The car I found was a one owner and only had 25,000 mikes on her and had full service records and I actually spoke to the service writer at the Porsche dealership where the female owner brought it in for by the book service.

So, I paid top of the market money for mine five years ago.

I have now put 40,000 more miles on her. And I could probably sell her for what I paid for her.

BUT! I have spent a LOT of money on preventative maintenance.

IMS Solution, two water pumps, two AOS, two sets of spark plugs, two sets of ignition coils, cam chain tensioners, clutch and flywheel, RMS, pads and rotors, and that doesn’t count all the wear items and convertible top work and aftermarket toys and other various items.

She has NOT been cheap.

But driving her is priceless.

I’d spend it all over again.

Good luck.
