The way I see it as a P-owner for the last 30 years, resources for parts, maintenance, and technical support was never better!
Imagine back in the late 70's or early 80's when the only place for technical support was "technical notes" in Panorama?! No internet, no bunch of P-heads sharing info, no parts catalogs accept JC Whitney (hey will that VW part fit here?), and basically you were on your own.
Today, between this fantastic resource of Porsche people, 101 Projects, Haynes and Bentley Repair manuals, Excellence Magazine, Rennsport, and a huge number of parts houses, keeping your older 911 going has never been greater. Do not consider the Porsche dealer a deadend either. They want as much as the parts supply business as anyone else and often in some dusty Stuttgard warehouse is that illusive wire or fitting that no one else can come up with.
Its a great time to own an older 911.
