At a crossroads with my car

[Perfectlap]

You want to buy a 944 because you feel your Boxster breaks down too much? What is your second choice a Range Rover?
Whenever I visit my Porsche mechanic there are two things I can always count on seeing, old tires in the back and a 944 in for repair.
You must not have had a very low mileage 944, or a very looked after one?

Boxsters/Caymans and water-cooled Carreras are reliable cars but they are not durable.
And Porsches that are 11 years out of warranty with moderate to high mileage are generally not durable anymore.

If you want a low-maintenance car for autox/DE, get a Miata. Selling mine was the bigget mistake I ever made... I should have realized this when the buyer flew up from Florida and drove it right back down from the airport. Like perhaps your situation, I should have kept the Boxster for street and Miata for autox/DE. I beat the snot out of that car, it cost nothing to modify (compared to Porsche), tires were cheap, and it never, ever, missed work. Asking an old Porsche to do double duty means your wrench box and wallet are going to be very busy.

Same crossroad different reasons
Car runs great. Just did 2200 mile trip no issues with 70k miles on her.
I have done services and a few replacements (DIY)
It was my daily but since January I commute by Train so car sits in the garage
I have gone back and forth on front suspension re-fresh.
I decided to go ahead (Have parts in hand Tie rods, Lower controls, drop links, sway bushings). I'm also doing Plug tubes, just put the car on stands last night

I also have a new AOS still in the box to put on. I'd like to do WP, low temp Thermo, tank and flush as that makes sense at 70k miles

Oh by the way I need new tires

I have 2 years left on loan and it basically gets used once a week. It's getting hard to get buy in from my financial adviser, My wife
Oh and Her new car also sits in the garage. I bought my daughter's 2003 jeep liberty 128k miles for most running around. Runs great

My only justification, besides keeping the car dependable, is it may be easier to sell

I feel better now that others feel the same way. I drove the car once or twice this year, right when the weather broke and the car has been on blocks ever since while I saved up money and time for a water pump, thermostat, tie rods, oil and coolant change, spark plugs, etc. Finally got everything installed and put back together and was on my way to the alignment shop and here comes the brake wear light. Ugh. Back in the garage she goes until payday.

My original plan before I even bought it was to own it for three years and get rid of it. I think my 3 years is coming up in August. I have no intentions of selling it. But as much fun as it has been, it has also been a pain in the rear. I guess I'll take the highs with the lows.
