Porsche 911: Bulletproof simple and reliable OR yuppie maintenance nightmare?
If the Porsche 911 is so reliable and simple, why does Porsche also have a rep of being an expensive maintenance nightmare?
All cars are lumped into the same boat. BMW, Porsche, Audi. Most people only buy Hondas, and any Euro car is a nightmare to repair. Most people I know will not even go near a BMW. Porsche is on another level altogether.
So, there seem to be 2 drastically differing views. Based on forum talk, if 911's are so reliable, bulletproof, and will "run forever". Yet in the real world, they have the reputation for always being in the shop and costing an arm and a leg to fix...
And this reputation was when these cars were NEW. Now, some are 30 years old, so they must be even worse to maintain than they were in the 80s. Yet on the forum, they are dead simple and reliable bulletproof.
Where does the truth lie?
