Was thinking the same...... my 20 yr old daughter has also been driving an '87 924s for several years that I kind of fixed up for her. Driving all the old, high mileage cars in my sig, my wife two daughters and myself have only had a couple breakedowns in the last 8 years or so and that was mainly due to my mistake of buying the wife an Audi for a year or two. I have had several minor issues with my non-Audi high mileage german cars, but rarely have they left us stranded.
The key to success with these older high mileage German cars seems to be baselining them when you first purchase them (fix all the little nagging issues neglected by the PO), then simply keep up with the basic maintenance.
Ah what do I know, maybe I just have been lucky.
