You mean you have top drive the car at least 100k before it becomes reliable?
bryan: All kidding aside..I am not surprised that there are 20+ year old Porsches on the road..Most are "put away" for a good part of the year!! Back in the rust belt, I didn't know on PCA member that drove between mid November and mid April. IMHO, a Yugo would last 20+ years if given the attention that many Porsche vehicles get!!
Yikes!!

I drove my 924S daily for two years. Through snow, salt, rain, whatever. Hell, drove the bloody thing around through a blizzard in Pittsburgh on winter. Bought it with a shot PS rack, busted sunroof, shot clutch (this last was unknown to me), and 140,000 miles. Fixed the PS rack. Changed the clutch. Fixed the sunroof. New brakes when a front caliper stuck. New wheel bearings. Never did fix the A/C. New plug wires. New fuel lines. Easily doubled the purchase price in the first couple months. After that, it never let me down. Overall, it still cost me less than my friends' Kias and Hyundais. A lot more fun to drive too.
I have a good understanding with mechanics. If it's broken or going to break, fix it. I'll find a way to pay. Taken care of, things will last almost forever.
