I have had my 87 cab for the past 8 years. It is a 2nd car, non-tracked. My previous Porsche, also an 87 was a sun roofed coupe. As a daily driver I preferred the coupe. My main issues with the Cab are the rattles when driving with the top up. The car in general is noisier. I live in the northeast and the weather provides less opportunity for open air motoring.

I have had to repair the top twice over the years, once an electrical issue once for maintenance. This cost roughly 1k. My top is in good condition but the window is beginning to cloud and needs polishing. The roof liner dry rotted and the lined window seals need replacement. This is a 20 year top and I am sure this is to be expected. Top down....no issues.

Marketplace: There seems to be some real values [17k to 25k] for low mileage 80s vintage cabs currently. My theory is they are mostly secondary vehicles.

I have recently purchased another coupe with the idea of taking the car to the track.
