that about sums it up. as Brit and I were discussing this morning, cheap pricetags attract cheap customers. I already saw this in the early 90s when 944s were already selling for comparatively cheap prices and many cars on the market even at that time were poor examples because they were purchased by people that could not afford to maintain them
livewire has it right, however. compared to payments on a new car, maintaining an older Porsche can still be lower in cost than payments on a new car. I've been trying to teach this principle to any prospective new Porsche owner whenever they stop by the shop. many times to no avail, but the principle still holds true. unfortunately, too many people's realities do not extend beyond the frame of reference displayed by nightheart's Saturn-owning friend
