Perhaps its the stigma and the term, "grey market". As an owner I had no issues what so ever with my low mileage 1979 SC aside from the fact the car came without AC. The German Porsches were driven hard on the Autobahn, but hey, its a Porsche! It was no different then bringing them back new from a dealer back then aside from the updates/changes which is referenced here as "federalized". Us old guys always heard the updates referred to as DOT'd.

What bothered me back then was the attitude of the dealers who looked at these cars with dislike as if they were criminal and not allowed in the house! The local shops did not care as they were as much of the shops bread and butter as the infamous 2.7 engine in the 74 - 77 911's.
