97's aren't bad cars at all as long as the car was cared for and the things needing replacement got replaced. Neglected Porsches are REAL expensive to own... see my web site for all the gorey details.
Just so you don't get freaked out when you visit my site (links below) ... I foolishly bought a very abused, neglected boxster that had been raced, wrecked (spin out that caused subframe damage) and obviously owned by a couple of stupid people who smoked a lot of pot in it and threw up on the seats, etc.
Of course, you'd never know this now... everyone mistakes my car for a pristine 2002!
Just goes to show that loving attention and piles of cash can turn a piece of crap into a nice dependable Porsche.
Would I buy another 97? Not on your life. I'd buy a 2000 S or younger S if at all possible. The 2.5 just lacks the grunt that I want in a sports car for long-term ownership. Hence my reason for saving up for a supercharger.
