Most of the folks that have replied in the 'positive' column for 964s have done so from the perspective of 'feelings' and not from the maintenance or reliability perspective ...

For me, and BA says geneerally the same thing ... they are far too complex from an electrical standpoint, and few shops have the experience, documentation, or skills to work on them effectively!!! What is it that goes out on MOST cars these days after five to ten years? Electrics!!!

If you understand electrical systems very well, and I do, tracking down bugs in Airbags, ABS, A/C, electric locks, windows, alarms, dash wiring, etc. is still a big pain, and it can get very, very expensive to have a shop do it for you! The chances are that a questionable shop will create other electrical problems while shotgunning and 'fixing' your problem is very, VERY HIGH!!!

Just how disconcerting to you think an intermittent AIRBAG warning lamp flashing on your instrument panel would be??? What do you think are the chances of getting it fixed quickly, inexpensively without causing another problem to crop up??? Even at a dealer ... slim, and NONE!!!

Think REAL HARD before you jump into an unknown pit of nasty snakes ...
