I recently bought a boxster, and I love it.
Problem is, I do a lot of biking. So... I kept my old Ford Focus as my "biking car."
But, I'm now Porsche addicted... and I can't really afford a Cayenne (nor would I buy one even if I won the lottery). Therefore, I am looking at some older 944 models. With the hatchback and the cargo room, they'd make fine biking "crew vehicles" if you slap a roof rack on there.
But, the nice thing about the Focus is that I can just toss gas in it and go... I dont have any reliability issues.
What's the reliability, in general, on a decently-maintained 1985-1988 ish 944? Are they prone to problems and issues, or are they as reliable as my boxster has been? I'm looking for general observations. I know that one 944 could be a dud, and the other could run on thumb tacks and lava... so... generally, what kind of maint costs am i looking at for a late 1980s 944?
