How (Un?)Reliable is a Porsche 944?

[davester]

Yeesh! The newest one you can get is 16 years old. You would be out of your mind to buy a Porsche (or most any car) that old unless you had at least 50% of the car's value on hand to pay for repairs and maintenance.

Also, have you checked with your insurance company yet as to what their rates will be for that car? I'd guess that they will either be through the roof, or they might not even agree to insure you if you buy one.
