You might recall that I'd posted a couple of times on advice about buying either of a 944, 928 or 968, having found used car listings here in Dubai within the price range that I was interested in.
Well, the other day I chanced to meet up a German guy who was formerly a mechanic at a Porsche dealership in Germany. He runs an auto garage of his own here. His eyes popped out when I mentioned my interest in buying one of the old models, muttering that I was either mad or joking. He was very categoric in his counsel - buy a 911 of whichever vintage or nothing at all. "No other Porsche is worth taking the trouble that you'll certainly be put through, even Boxsters" were his words (Boxsters should be very warily viewed because of transmission issues, he said). "Unless you've a lot of money or are a vintage car fan, don't even look at those older Porsches", he said in parting.
Just thought I'd let you know but since I so seem to want a Porsche no matter what, I might still settle for a 928 :)
