I sometimes see 964s that have made it to ~100k miles w/o a rebuild and those can be affordable but I don't see any prudent way to approach this except to presume they will need significant work during my ownership. I say significant because I understand that all older performance cars need something every year. I could be wrong but it seems the earlier cars are a safer bet at my budget and there is very little I can't or won't want to fix myself if I get severe sticker shock from estimated labor bills @ $120/h.
