My two cents worth on parts costs and availability. As owner of both an SC and a ‘91 Honda CRX Si I can tell you that Porsche vs. Honda parts comparison is a bad example. Honda thinks a LOT of their parts. The CRX’s ignition recently suffered a terminal collapse and the parts alone came to around $800! Not a lot less than a Porsche distributor, maybe more. (I should mention here though there were 278K miles on the original items.)
Also, for a lot of older Honda’s you can forget it. Not near the availability of with a Porsche. For example (one fresh in my mind) sunroof parts. You can get almost everything for sunroof repair on the 911, everything on the Honda is “NLA.”
