When the wur goes bad you will know something is wrong. Your car won't idle well and will be pretty much un-driveable.

I have owned my Turbo 3.6 for 10 years. When I book it in for check-ups etc the mechanics get genuinely excited about seeing it, not because it's made them rich, but more because it's that special to them; remember they see everything.
One of the positives out of the way, these cars are not for owners with short arms and long pockets. At some stage they will cost you and as mentioned before in this thread it's often time spent chasing small problems. Right now I'm compiling a refresh list. You wouldn't see one single thing I will likely change as it will be rubber hoses, bushes etc, but it will cost.
They say you can tell a lot about someone by how they react if they lose their luggage. I would suggest that if you have the maturity to take the knocks as they come through then you will love owning one of these cars. On the other hand if you expect an 18 year old car to be perfect then you will be disappointed.

Currently at €10k in 2 years, but does include new suspension (inc. strutbrace), new rear rotors and pads, steelflex brake lines, powder coated callipers, new front tyres, different (larger) set of (used) alloy wheels, etc.
The biggest cost for most of it is having to take parts out to get to others and it seems to take a lot of time to diagnose what the problem is (no matter which Porsche specialist you use).
