Doug&Julie,

Please be specific about your 964 and what failed (and when) with costs....I am looking at what appears to be a very clean 1990 C4 and am trying to gather as much info as possible in order to see if I want to go to expense of paying for a PPI and compression/leakdown testing on it.

Here is my thread to see some of the details of the car:

Anyone else out there that has some history or repairs and reliability please post as well.

Thanks
